You have to understand that all minor leaguers missed a year of development with Covid. So some are still a class behind


Four of the guys are already slotted in the Cubs top 11 prospects.

Madrigal is a 3-4 WAR player over a full season.

Heuer has already pitched in the show.


For trading a bunch of expirings, it wasn’t all that bad


Lol, cool you mentioned two of the guys I said we got in the kimbrel trade that 2 of the guarantees Mlb, the o key other one is maybe crowe, the rest will be career minor leaguers or at best journey man. After Crowe the only person that maybe has potential as a bullpen guy is the pitcher we got from the A’s bc he throws upper 90s. We got zero top 100 prospects, and who cares where they slotted in out terrible farm, that’s another indictment of shitty arse hoyer and it was happens when you basically have let you scouting department go and have shite scouts. So tell me who you think will actually contribute at a major leagues level than madrigal and heuer who were by far the best players we got for a rental. Ps, we gave up better prospects last year when trading for castellanos who was a rental, than what we received for Bryant and rizzo.

I am not a Cubs fan but it’s hard to look at what you guys had done the past couple years and what you got in these deals and not see it as a win long term. Your system was already much improved and now it’s probably one of the best in baseball. You can see the next core in there and it’s a franchise that’s going to spend money to supplement it.

Trading away cornerstones like that is brutal but I think you’ll look back on it in a few years as a great decision. It was a sellers deadline and an ideal time to strike

The guy you are trashing from the Giants, Canario, just made 21 & is a career 276/363/486 guy



Pete Crow Armstrong has played 6 minor league games in his career. Imagine thinking you know what he is. He’s still a teenager

Alcantara is 19, too.

Do you have any idea how development works?
