I really don't want to trade Underwood. He is too close to the majors and the Cubs upper minor levels are redundant. If Castro is too much maybe Hoyer can get some of his old draft picks back.

I just threw Underwood out there.  Substitute your least favorite prospect that SD may desire.

Agree with Curt that it doesn't take Castro to get Cashner.

There's nothing saying you can't ask for more than just Cashner for Castro. And Cashner has been pretty injury free two of the last three years.

Cashner only started 19 games in 2014.  He was out nearly half the season.

Shields is rather interesting.  He has started at least 33 games a year since 2008.

Andrew Cashner is a player that I got to know pretty well back in the day.

He was a real friendly young man.

I cant see him being a bad chemistry guy.

He's a jacked up truck type redneck though.

He was bitter about being traded and, as a result, would probably be a tough FA sign, but might feel wanted if we traded for him.

Jacked up truck type rednecks are always good for chemistry....

Getting Cashner is a good idea.

Seems like Cubs already have made a down payment to SD.

So Estrada turned down a one year deal for 15.8M for a 2 year deal for 24.5M.   Does his agent do Jesmath?

A year ago, Michael Cuddyer turned down QO from Rockies and signed 2/$21 from Mets. Older guys love those multi-year deals. Maybe just a coincidence but the three guys accepting QOs all under 30.

How does that contradict "two of the last three years"?

It's not a jesmath problem...it's reading comprehension.  I could have sworn you said "last two years."  My bad.

My son's HS team faced Logan Allen at Perfect Game earlier this spring. He's pretty dirty.

As an 18 year old LH pitcher in low A ball this year he had an ERA of 1.11 and a K/W ratio of 26:1.

I suspect that everyone here remembers how the Red Sox, both the team and its fans, cried and whined about the Cubs signing Epstein as GM and how they kept insisting the Cubs should have to heavily compensate the Red Sox for the move.

The current perspective of Red Sox fans is that Theo was forced to leave to avoid being fired:
The fate of any front office person can be tied to a particular player or action. Theo Epstein’s fate in Boston was sealed by the ill-advised signings of Carl Crawford (who never played well here and likely never will be a great player again) and Adrian Gonzalez (seeing Anthony Rizzo, who was traded by Boston for AGon, mash baseballs out of Wrigley Field is the definition of painful for Red Sox fans) who left Boston disgruntled, leaving Cherington to pick up the pieces after the September 2011 collapse hastened Epstein’s flight to Chicago.  http://bosoxinjection.com/2015/11/14/red-sox-dave-dombrowski-creates-kimbrel-deal-with-cheringtons-players/

A perspective made all the more interesting by the implicit contention that after a single season with the Red Sox, a season when he had an OPS+ of 155, better than his prior season, far above his career average, and better than every year but one... his performance showed Theo had been "ill-advised" to have signed him.  What in the world did Red Sox fans hope to see from him?
