Cubs receive OF Alexander Canario (No. 9 SF prospect per @MLBPipeline) and RHP Caleb Killian (No. 30) from the Giants for Kris Bryant.
I imagine most of our "haul" will be trade bait in a year or two if the Cubs even want another WS.

Damn, the Cubs have gotten rid of everyone. Even Lester (who isn't much of a loss anymore).
I guess they wait another decade...

We need them after the loss of Acuña.
Also: In yet another move, the Cubs traded outfielder Jake Marisnick to the San Diego Padres on Friday, a source told ESPN.

You get a Cub! And you get a Cub! And you get a Cub!
Everyone gets a Cub!!!

The Rickettses are showing their whole asses. They don't give a single solitary fuck about being competitive or winning, because they're content to just print money thanks to their ownership of Wrigley Field and essentially every major building in Wrigleyville.
Jesus tap-dancing Christ. The return on Bryant is two mid-level San Francisco prospects.
Congratulations, Cubs. Fucking around with Bryant's service time and actively doing everything you could to piss off the face of the franchise netted you ... Alexander Canario and Caleb Killian.
My cup runneth fucking over.

Back to the days of the lovable losers. There's a fine team to watch on the south side.
Fuck it, go Brewers. At least Craig Counsell doesn't make me want to barf.
The Tribune Era returneth?
Wow, seriously fuck the Ricketteses.
I can't imagine what Chicago natives are feeling right now.

My girlfriend asked me if I needed oxygen.
I used to get pissed when the team did stupid shit, but I don't care enough any more. Plenty of mindless fans will keep filling Wrigley every game, they don't need me.
It's easy to slash payroll and increase profit when you own the baseball equivalent of the Magic Kingdom. People will show up to Wrigley whether or not the Cubs win - heck whether or not they like the Cubs.
The A's needed relievers, infielders, another starting pitcher. They got... one reliever, and one outfielder.
Skippy.

The Phillbillies didn't do much if anything, and they're a half game closer to the Mets than the Braves are atm.
Braves didn't do a lot either.

They even own all those ‘houses’ (the ones with the rooftop seating) on Waveland and Sheffield, don’t they?
If they had any balls, they’d do what the Orioles did with that old rail yard building on Eutaw Street (near Camden Yards). Gut the shit out of those old hulks and put the team stores, offices, ticketing, etc. in them. Add restaurants and bars to boot.
And as an added bonus, tell the rooftop squatters to go pound sand.

They do, yes. The Rickettses formed a shell corporation shortly after their purchase of the team closed, and through that shell corporation they began stealthily buying up the rooftop buildings, followed by pretty much all of Wrigleyville over the following two years. They've jacked up the rents to astronomical levels, so their Wrigleyville empire is essentially a monument unto their glory, and the Rickettses are in the black for the day before they even get out of bed.
Any time you see the Cubs crying poverty and saying they're broke, they're full of shit.
