ncaachampillini 6 years ago Wow did “Mr Hahn” at the end of that chat completely fall flat on his face. The Padres pantsed the White Sox on that trade. Reply
kidaplus 6 years ago Bad trade no doubt… but Tatis was 16 and hadn’t played in US… wasn’t no-brainer elite level yet. I think Eloy and Cease for Q ends up being most lopsided… they knew eloy was a super prospect to get him AND Cease looking like a serious haul. Getting more than bodies with Eloy but their #1 arm for a team with no farm arms? Steep. Reply
ChiSoxCity 6 years ago That’s the Cubs for you. They give away young talent all the time, and some of them have become HOFers. Reply
lesterdnightfly 6 years ago That’s a White Sox fan for you. Can’t say anything knowledgable about his chosen team, but is woefully obsessed with dissing the Cubs at every chance. A sad state of mind…. Reply
southpaw philly 6 years ago chisox really….. arguably Cubs used their talent and compiled quality young players to be relevant year and year recently. Reply
