the question is not "Did the Cubs get what they wanted?" Rather it is, "did they make the right deals?" |

there's an awful lot of blame that will be placed on management at the end of Theo's regime. Getting Zobrist is all on the general manager. Castro, you can blame it on a salary dump. But four years and a no-trade, this one's squarely on Theo. Perhaps Dan has recognized that in advance. |

They got rid of Castro because he was a total flake...and they got what looks like a decent pitcher back for him. Castro is incredibly talented and could easily come back into hitting form with the Yankees and get back into the 200 hit range. He still has shown that his baseball IQ isn't very high and he hasn't really improved his focus since he came into the game...That's just the guy he is...almost great, with some very fatal flaws. Zobrist is a solid place holder at second and gives the team versatility at a number of different positions and he's a much more solid clubhouse guy...although I didn't know he was so preachy...married to a Christian singer...yada yada yada. Why anyone gives one rat's ass about his contract is beyond me. Last I checked, there wasn't a Cap in baseball and the Cubs are soon to be rich as King Solomon. Also, who really gives a shit that his deal has a NTC? If it happens that he sucks...they wouldn't be able to trade his contract away anyhow...They'll just have to pay him to go away. |

2nd half featured more Ronda Rousey bashing from Dan. I don't care that people bash her, but at least be from someone who watches the sport and knows the sport. He just comments on sentences he sees online, and forms a bad opinion. He probably had never read anything about her until she lost. |

Middle infielder who can hit for a mediocre relief pitcher? 3 time all star for a journeyman? |

Ironic that you would comment on someone forming an opinion on something having not seen it, since you must have missed those shows. |

I think Dan goes hard on Rousey because she beat up her boyfriend. That way he has an out angle example if anyone questions his domestic violence SJW work. |

Mac needs your support. 3 time all star with 1 season he should have been one(maybe). Head of a 5 year old. I will take the upside on a pitcher and let Zobrist be what he will be as a Cub. Real good. |

Gave the first hour a try and there was this...interesting...exchange, where Dan and Terry had different guys! sorta! Dan: They know Zobrist is a good clubhouse guy Terry: Except he's a well-known jesus guy Dan: well...yeah...but they did the background on that and don't think it'll be an issue Terry: but he's known to do that, it's a big part of him Dan: Well hopefully they let him know to keep that stuff at home, it shouldn't influence your workplace and teammates. Or else you wind up like a Chad Curtis, who turned out to be a child molester Terry: I wouldn't make THAT leap (Dan kinda left it there and then sometime later Abattacola lept in doing his 'DAN DAN I DON'T UNDERSTAND DAN' bit about Zobrist's age/production and that was that for me) |
