Yes, once another White Sox prodigy.....traded for Peavy.

Give the guy credit for a pretty cool contract, that I have never seen giving him a 72 hour window in the middle of the season for any team to just buy him.

Then an overall nice lefty junk baller outing. Scattered 8 hits, tons of ground balls...fielded 5 of them hiimself.

Nice career revival....not expecting anything more than he gave them last night....and still looking for more pitching, but every little bit helps.

There a competition for most threads started over the Holiday weekend? T-shirt prize?

Richard won a game and didn't cost anything but some cash. Maybe they found they're 4/5 starter for nothing. I'm not willing to give up prospects for marginal stating pitching at this point, as I don't think the Cub are ready this year. Wait till the offseason to see what's out there. I'm not at all interested in Cole at this point.

I never thought I'd type this: Well said, Reason.

No worries, Matt. Even the dimest of bulbs finally see the light. Nice to see you've finally flipped the switch.

I'll assume you purposefully misspelled "dimest".

Perhaps, I did. I'll go with that. I only post from my iPhone now. It does what it wants to do. I'm nothing more than a slave to technology.

Agree.

I hope we get another 2-3 wins out of him. Everything else is gravy.

I took one also after being on call all fuggin weeknd. Us 50+ people need our rest.

I think Richard might have some gas left.I'm just shocked the Cubs got him from a team they are chasing for basically nothing.

Clause in his contract allowed it.

Happy that the element of surprise got them a win. I mean seriously, which team advance scouted Clayton Richard in case the Cubs would buy him??

If they can trade Wood for a useful bench part and a useful minor leaguer, or include him in a bigger deal to a team like the Phillies, then Richard can move into the long man lefty role until rosters expand.

Nobody is taking travis Wood now...and I am not sure I want to trade him...The way Maddon uses pitchers....we need as many arms as we can get.
