Wow, what horseshit.

Tix are going up 20%. Use that for Jansen. Ricketts is such a fuck.

If it is just Soler then I am fine with that. But if it is Soler, Happ and more then that is BS and I hope they do not do it

I'd love Jansen wrote as I believe he is getting ready to go on a Mariano run but Wade Davis was awesome before the injury.

Happ though? That seems high.

Closer market exploding

Soler seems like one of the few guys with a questionable attitude, there is no place for him to play other than to come off the bench and his body blows up way too easily for someone of his supposed age. I'm good with it. Edwards, Davis and a HEALTHY Rondon are a great 7,8,9 in whatever order they end up in and any of them can close if needed.

If Davis had three years left, I might be ok with this.

But for a rental with injury history? Absolutely no way.

Got a text saying the latest MLB Network scuttlebutt is that it would be Davis for Soler (plus salary retention), Happ, and a prospect. Ugh.

I personally would throw a lot of money at David Janssen and be done with the closer role for 4 years or so but that's just me.

There is no way in hell they are trading Soler and Happ for a 1 year relief pitcher. That is either bullshit or someone else is coming with him.

Soler is a fucking bum anyway and Davis when healthy is pretty damn good.

Theo/Jed have the benefit of the doubt here unlike those idiots on the South Side.

Don't like it unless it's for Soler straight up, which is what Heyman and Rosenthal are reporting.

That trade is fine. Is that Happ thing even credible or is that guy one of Jules' bullshit hoax sources?

Soler for wade Davis is indeed deal on table. Haven't heard any other names in it. Sides apparently just sleeping on it.

Wade Davis to the Cubs for Jorge Soler is a done deal according to Bob Nightengale pending physicals. That works for me. Davis handles closing duties for 2017, while Edwards or someone else can be brought along to handle it after 2017 and the oft injured Soler, who had no position open for him is moved. Good job Theo and Jed. Good luck to Soler too. I hope he reaches his potential with K.C.

I hope this Davis guy is a Grindy hillbilly so I can watch Bernsie squirm as he blows him.
