Since it’s clear Piniella doesn’t know what he has in him, perhaps the Cubs should trade Soto to the Padres. I can’t help but shake my head every time Lou starts Koye Hill over Soto.
Brandon Popper
the reason Hill starts over soto is depending on who is pitching, and that is why most teams have 2 catchers which some catchers catch better with a certain pitcher and thats also why you will see Soto come in when certain relievers come into the game as well

And what do the Cubs have in Soto exactly? Is it his inflated on base percentage from hitting in the7th/8th hole, & getting pitched around? Or when he’s hitting HR’s when the Cubs are down by 5 in the 8th? His RISP isn’t worth a damn thats for sure, as his .464 OPS can attest to. What a clutch hitter too. Wow! 2 out RISP OPS is .686/late & close .606/Tie game .689. And he’s been pretty lucky too with his Babip at .315. I pray the Padres take him. Hill can’t hit, but at least he plays solid defense, & is a leader. Oh and Hills RISP OPS is 1.026 BTW! W/2 outs, & RISP its .967.

I would prefer they trade Theriot over Fontenot, but seeing any Cub trade action would be refreshing.

It’s hard for the Cubs to sell in the first year of ownership, but for the good of the team, they need to trade the players that have value and prepare for next year.

If Hendry had an opportunity to get rid of Fontenot and passed, he should be fed Krispy Kremes until he explodes. Oh wait, he’s already on that program.

Fontenot would be a good pick up for the Red Sox. I’d actually like to see it. Pinella is so overly concerned about the things that Fontenot can’t do, that he overlooks the things he can do. He’s always been the odd man out.

Hopefully the Cubs can move FonteNOT for a warm bag of M&M’s…

I agree with redsandyanksfan, if anything M&M’s are better when cold.

Please trade Ryan Theriot instead.

I hope those who want Theriot traded know they are talking on dangerous grounds. There are Cub fans on this site who have argued with me that Theriot is something between a star player to near super star status. Be prepared for a response when you point out various stats and the total package. He is an average player. I’m not bashing Theriot, just saying. And yes, when the Cubs decide they are officially out of it, I expect Theriot’s name to pop up in trade talks.
