Fantastic trade for the Cubbies.

This is devastating. How will the Cubs go on without a guy I've literally never heard of? 🤔

lol I’ve never heard of the guy we got for him, AL who?

Pressly. Former closer of the Astros, replaced by Hader. But he gets paid $14M this year, and I assume the Cubs will take on most of it. He's...ok. Not sure he's the closer I want, but it's another high-leverage arm. 🤷

Hader I know! Did they have Pressly throwing in the 8th like the Sox did to Kimbrel? That didn’t work. Who did you want that was left?

Robertson I think. Maybe Finnegan. Admittedly, the "sure things" are gone, so you're taking old guys at this point, inconsistent guys ...prime regression candidates you hope can hold on one more year. 🤷

I wonder why Jed didn’t just take Robertson again
