I actually really like the idea of Verlander in the NL, but he's a zero asset at the $80 million or whatever he's still owed. Money starting in 2019 isn't really an issue, as the funny money will be coming in. If the Tigers pick up his 2017 salary, and could make 2018 closer to $20 million, there may be a chance this one happens. I would imagine Lackey gets DFA'd (rejoice!), since he said it's either the rotation or his ranch for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 All alone in 1st. Let's hold it longer than a day this time, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 This is when my prediction comes into play. Just so I can never claim to be right, coming up one day short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So do the Cubs actually make any deals before the deadline? I'm intrigued by Verlander, I've always really liked him. I'd hate to give up Happ, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued by Verlander, I've always really liked him. I'd hate to give up Happ, though. They aren't trading Happ for Verlander, unless the Tigers pick up the vast majority of that contract. Think more in the Almora/Candelario+ realm. I think they absolutely do make at least one more deal for a veteran backup C with good defense though. I mentioned Rene Rivera before, and he would make a lot of sense. Joe just simply doesn't trust Caratini back there. Willy's bat needs to stay in the lineup, but he also needs to catch fewer games down the stretch to keep him fresh. Get Rivera and allow Willy to rest one day a week and to play LF at least one other day a week to save his knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yeah, Happ isn't moving unless it's for a young, cost controlled pitcher with ~4 years of team control. He's too valuable for anything less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 1.5 games up. Series with the Brewers here. Time to put this middling season behind us and get us some distance in this race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malak1 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This weekend could, and should, be a total back-breaker and demoralizer for the Brew Crew. I'm thinking about getting some tickets and taking the drive up to MKE for tonight's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
