Mark Gonzalez in the Tribune: First base coach Brandon Hyde
could transition to become the bench coach, a position he held
under Edwin Rodriguez and Jack McKeon with the Marlins in
2010-11.

Mark Gonzalez again:
[quote]If Hyde moves to the bench, a potential replacement at
first base is Doug Dascenzo, the Cubs' minor-league outfield and
base-running coordinator who was an outfielder for the team from
1988-92. Dascenzo, 53, was hired as first-base coach in the
2014-15 offseason before Maddon arrived and Hyde reassigned from
bench coach to first base.[/quote]
Dascenzo also pitched a little bit.

Depends on what the + is.

I can't see them doing a 1:1, but I also can't see the + being
really great either.

There is no way the Rays would do that.
They are really high on Willy Adames, and they would want a
bounty of A level studs for Archer. Trading for a Super 2
eligible SS doesnt really help them that much.

Russell wouldn't give them any additional team control. And if
he broke out, it's not even clear he'd give them cost savings
beyond 2018. I don't see why the Rays would do that--I think
they benefit more from just holding on to their best pitcher.

I don't think the Cubs have the guns to deal for a pitcher of
Archer's caliber anymore. If they acquire SP via trade it's
going to be high-ceiling guys with lots of warts (like Arrieta
was).

I could see trading Archer for somebody like Russell if they
don't want to rebuild and they think that they have the young
pitching to replace him. Long shot sure and I'm not 100%
convinced the Cubs would do it either.
I just looked up Adames and he is 1 year and 8 months younger
than Russell.

Rays are looking to move to Hillsborough County.
Last week Hillsborough announced they have secured the land
needed for a new stadium in Ybor City area of town. There is
still about 300 million in gap financing that is missing and it
will likely go to the polls to determine if the tax payers want
to approve that type of expense. (link -

/>)
I would be shocked if they somehow decided to short circuit a
fairly lengthy rebuild here and ship off their biggest trade
chip for anything short of what the Sox got for Q. Some believe
that Archer is worth a Sale type return... and i'd wager that is
what the Rays are going to be looking to get. 2-3 high Ceiling
high floor class A level players.

Might be a bad time to do a full rebuild, but a retooling they
might be able to sell to the public.

I think most fans here in Tampa are aware they are "re-tooling"
as we speak, have been doing so since the David Price trade.
Its probably another 1-2 years before they are in a good spot.
On local sports radio its basically a forgone conclusion that
they are retooling for a new stadium in Tampa, or for a new
stadium outside this area entirely. No one be-grudges the Rays
on any of this... esp considering the state of the trop, and
potential for increase in taxes for a new stadium.
