Abrams and Weathers, Hoyer, you can do it! Guys if we raise our arms and give Hoyer our energy, he might be able to pull something off with those last two prospect spots

The Cubs paid a huge ransom for Jose fricking Quintana.

Why wouldn’t we get HAUL for Yu Darvish?

I expect a haul here too. The prospect names haven’t come out yet. But Q was only 27/28 vs Yu being 34 (turns 35 during the year), Q was controlled as long but for 1/3 the price, and had cleaner injury history/more consistent (Q was in the middle of 4 straight 4+ WAR seasons, Yu hasn’t been over 4 since 2013, even though last year he was well on pace).

Yeah, I often believe the contract really helps set the price. And Q was supposed to be a front line pitcher for a great price.......so great that it allowed us to sign Yu.

I think Cassie is ranked 16th as a prospect in the Padres organization.

So no Padre top 10 prospects pre-Snell trade.

Yikes was hoping for higher than 11. So 11 and 16 are the names out there for prospects.

This a horsefeathering terrible return. The Hoyer era starts not with a bang, but a big wet fart noise.

at least the media is going to destroy the cubs over the next week. not that it makes any difference, but at least they'll get embarrassed a little bit.

Awful.

By MLB Pipeline, it's probably okay value. All 4 guys are 45 FB guys, meaning they'd be top 10 in a normal system (keep in mind the Padres have an incredibly deep system). Though you still have the whole quantity vs. quality argument. By FG's values though, there's not really any sort of justification. Two 45s, a 40, and a 35.

If it'd been Cronenworth and these four guys I'd be slightly disappointed, but this is horsefeathering risky as hell. The Cubs must REALLY trust their scouts.
