Cubs just got Chapman.



That bowdown is not for the Cubs however......it is for the Yankees.

The Yankees got the Cubs top prospect plus another top 100 prospect for a 2 month rental of a relief pitcher. A dominant one, but still a relief pitcher.

The Tigers got less for a guy who was considered at the time a true ACE pitcher in David Price.

Meanwhile, it's clear as day the Reds got jobbed in the Chapman trade. What a disaster of an organization.

True, but they got mainly jobbed due to the fact that everyone was focused on Chapman's domestic violence case, and he was almost radioactive. Then we swoop in, get him for peanuts, and suddenly a few 100 MPH fastballs later everyone forgets what a checkered past Chap has, and we get rid of him for two borderline elite prospects and another ML-quality arm. I guess we'll take it.

George would be rolling in his grave if he knew how intent his sons were on not putting the best product on the field at any cost, but this was a step in the right direction for sure. Up next, Beltran and Tex.

Baseball sucks.

Jays are making their 6-men rotation works. They are making sure they will have the best 3 for the upcoming series against Red Sox. If they sweep the Red Sox, AL East title should be theirs.
