Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal
Longshot that cannot be dismissed until after deadline passes: #Cubs getting controllable SP. Could build deal around Happ or another young hitter. Obstacles: Scarcity in market. Many teams want elite prospects over MLB pieces. CHC too thin in young pitching to add to deal.

It wouldn't be surprising if Theo might have led a front office discussion in the last few days in very much the same way, put it that way.

No.  But it proabably makes Bote more tradeable.

I'd rather trade Almora or Russell.

What could you get for Almora,Russell,and Caratini?

DeGrom?

I told him that on Twitter yesterday.

Theo had become a bit nervous waiting on that advice.

Maybe you're having another memory lapse but I didnt tell Theo.

I told Rosenthal.

Its all good though Brother.

In theory, if you want a TORP you have to trade one of the core.  Not that I justify it or think it’s going to happen.

If you’re going to trade anybody, a case can be made for it to be Almora. He still has some of the same limitations he’s always had - no walks. Big splits - .726 OPS vs. righties. He’s actually 5th among Cubs OF in OPS overall. He’s having a very good year but some of the hype around him isn’t fully justified by the numbers.  If we had plenty of pitching I’d never consider trading Almora in a million years, but we’re in a position where you have to at least consider trading someone from the core.

Official response from Darvish team on A-Rod: “If it had come from a credible journalist, we might have expressed some concern.”

Interesting.... but it was still Theo who was waiting for the advice, and also the advice to trade Almora and Russell.

Rosenthal really didn't care.
