Cubs close to gettIna Brandon Kintzler per Rosenthal. That’s underwhelming.

On the plus side, he is a strike thrower.

Looking to keep the top of the pen as rested as possible for the postseason, I imagine.

To make room for Kintzler on the 40-man roster, RHP Justin Hancock has been transferred to the 60-day DL.

But as a Cub he will completely forget how to throw strikes and he'll allow runs like a sieve.

Ugh, that $5 million option is a little more than I’d want to be paying Kintzler next season.  I was wondering why Washington would want to trade him.

Im glad another deadline has passed in which we held on to our core.

People want reinforcements yet they bitch when the farm system is weak and we added 3 usable arms without giving up anything worth a shit.

Hamels can be a tremendous boost to our rotation.

Chavez adds versatility and has already won over a lot of folks.

Kintzler is one year removed from being an all star and even though he doesnt have strikeout stuff he's always been good.

If we had traded Amaya,Happ,Russell,Almora or whoever and  even got DeGrom in return somebody here would have bitched.

No indication of any $$$ from Washington in that deal?  Seems odd we'd put ourselves on the hook for $5 million for Kintzler - I'd sooner have done nothing and rolled with what we had.
