Baez could bust, but he also could be a generational talent.
The list of MLB players I'd trade him for is small, an often
pitcher isn't on that list. Almora+ would be interesting.

Cashner hasn't exactly waxed poetical about how much he misses
the Cubs since he left, though I suppose that's a minor point.

Didn't the Cubs trade Cashner partially because they were scared
he couldn't stay healthy? He made a DL trip earlier this
year...I can't imagine that has made them any less worried.

You have to kick the tires on that, at least. Cashner may be
helped by Petco, but it's not like he's smoke and mirrors
dependent on a pitcher's park. He has serious groundball stuff
that will play anywhere. With where the Cubs seem to be on the
win curve, he would make a great addition if his medical records
look good.
And, yes, I'm still very much in favor of trading Sam.

I can't believe Cashner has only thrown 100 innings once in his
career. His home/away splits are pretty ugly and out of Petco
he might be more of a mid-three guy, which isn't bad. He is
made of glass though.
Watcha and Garcia to the DL with shoulder issues. Pitchers, I
tell you.

Twitter rumor: Cashner scratched from his start tomorrow. Stay
far away from him.

I doubt Ross would be available. He's still making peanuts and
is under control for a long time - that's not an asset a tear
down team trades away, normally.

The thing I'm curious to see is if the Cubs snatch up Byrnes.

I'll be shocked if he isn't a Special Assistant to Somebody.
The guy I'm curious about is Hinch, if he doesn't get the GM job
does he move on?
