Seems like a game of chicken between the Cubs and Bryant's agent.

That was just click bait. Very LTG-ish.

"We've never operated with untouchables," he said. "It sends the wrong message. Given what we're trying to accomplish, it would be virtually impossible to envision the deal that would make sense to move them. I just don't believe in untouchables. Why limit yourself?"

If the Indians call and want to do Bryant/Quintana for Kluber/Carrasco, this works for me.

Mike Trout. It'd take more pieces than just Bryant. Bryant is a star, but Mike Trout is the second coming of Frank Robinson. I'll drive Bryant to the airport.

Plus this would be the perfect mic drop from Theo to Maddon - win the WS with the greatest player of this generation, or show your sorry ass out.

Shortsighted, Beltre or Donaldson at 3b, or alternatively sign Machado.

Better to trade a player a year early, rather than a year late.

I'm not trading an elite young hitter for a pitcher. Include Lindor or Ramirez and I think that we can make a deal.

IIRC I heard that the Indians were selling.

Selling all but Ramirez and Lindor.

Ramirez and Lindor are both younger than Bryant, the Indians would not trade either straight up for Bryant. Lindor and Ramirez elite hitters, and light years better defenders, at more premium positions, compared to Bryant.

Are you saying we should have traded him two years ago?

Maybe HawaiiYou can trade him.
