Wonder what number Rizzo will wear in NY.
They won't un-retire Reggie's 44 for him?
Seriously! That was my first thought the moment I read Castro's instant suspension.Starlin Castro gets a 30 game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. The Nats said they will release him upon the end of the suspension.
So, how TF is Bauer still only on paid LOA? Is beating a sexual partner into unconsciousness more than once not in that definition?

But there is one big difference between the two of them: Race.
And I hate it. Fucks over one of my fantasy baseball teams because I have Liam Hendriks.Are we surprised Kimbrel was traded to the White Sox? I love it!
It's a garbage deal because Madrigal just had season ending surgery last month. Blows my fucking mind.2B Nick Madrigal and RHP Codi Heuer is the return for Kimbrel. Do we need another 2B with Hoerner? Can one of them play SS? Cubs are up to their eyeballs in IF's, should be getting more starting pitching back than anything.
Madrigal is on a one year contract, so how is that a good deal, other than being cheap-shit?

Maybe, maybe not. But it's still crazy to me that they traded a pitcher who is doing excellent right now (but might/probably not be that good for that much longer after this season) for someone who is out for the rest of the season and might be good when he comes back.Madrigal is only 24, so a good chance he comes back OK from hamstring surgery. The fact they took in anybody without some years on a contract is the mind-blower for me.
Bryant to the SF Giants.
Dodgers look like they're already over that line at $237M, so maybe they just keep saying "fuck it" and at least re-sign Trea, if not Mad Max.
Depends of course on whether any of these guys have any contract left after this year. @Timby will no doubt know these details![]()
FFS, at least keep ONE IF guy. If it wasn't gonna be Rizzo (the face of the franchise), then KB if you think you can sign him anyway.
Bryant was always going to go. The relationship between him and the team has been irreparably soured since 2017.
More on him or his agent?
More on Theo Epstein, who was always nakedly brazen about manipulating Bryant's service time, and also taking regular potshots at him through the media.
The service time thing is hardly unique to the Cubs tho.
Any chance we re-sign any of these guys next year? Rizzo would be my guess if they did.
