Both him and Madrigal are missing the rest of this year, so its only one season of difference (a season the Cubs won't be competitive for anyways). I bet Glasnow would take a team friendly deal to buy out his arb years and give a little more control to cover the uncertainty of his surgery. The Cubs should be flush with cash for exactly that type of gamble.

He's a Cy Young caliber pitcher. He'll be under thirty when he comes back from surgery, presuming its a full recovery he should be an ace for a few years. I'd much rather roll that set of dice than bet on Nick Madrigal to suddenly become something he's not.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

If the whitesox dont win it all this year this trade is terrible.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

If Kimbrel performs well ( historically awful in october)

They may. But the success of the trade depends on winning it all with Kimbrel. If they were willing to deal Madrigal, I would have put a big package together to get Frazier and Rodriguez from the Pirates. I think the more people see Hernandez they'll realize he's a not a long term answer at 2nd.

Yoan Moncada needs to start having some positional versatility if he's going to continue being this player who never seems to come through when they need him to. He doesn't cost them much to keep around, he's well worth that coin just as an OBP guy, but there are so many teams that probably think he's more than that and if you can deal him I would. That or he starts having more tangible value by playing more infield positions.

Cesar Hernandez probably lives on as a sub, but I doubt he's an everyday type guy next year.

Oh Jesus, another "Frank"...?
