Castellanos is already getting attention as a good fit for the Cubs this offseason.

There’s still a long road to go before any of that EXTRA REVENUE would be flowing. Also: I needed to laugh at the Cardinals today.

I love seeing Rodriguez getting this opportunity.

Patrick Wisdom plays hero and Manny Rodriguez gets the save!

New York Mets fans just don’t know what they’re in for.

Well deserved honors for two of the Cubs’ best prospects.

Although the trades were not viewed as a universal positive among fans – for obvious reasons – it’s clear the pundits think the Cubs did well.

The 2022 Cubs season will open up on the road against the Reds on March 31.

Minor league baseball is the best.

I think when the people in charge say these things, we need to spotlight them so they stay in the foreground as the offseason plays out.

The Rockies are shockingly great at home this year.

Me? I’m gone already?

Coors Field always provides a kind of fun, whatever the state of the season.

More weirdness for former Cubs in other jerseys.

It sounds like Hoyer knows he said a little too much.

You can’t sit Rafael Ortega right now.

More trade talks trickling out.

The back-and-forth has arrived. It’s not fun.

The organizations may just not care anymore about doing crosstown trades. Also? The White Sox had the clear best offer.

Jake Arrieta has a unique perspective to share with the Cubs who have headed out the door.

“We understand it might take a little time to process these changes …. “

Definitely interesting, but as the primary piece in a Craig Kimbrel, Kris Bryant combo deal? Much less interesting.

It doesn’t sound like Hoyer believes there was enough of an effort put forth on the other side.

What’s the state of the Cubs roster after all that movement, and who will now be doing what?

Nice to hear, obviously, but we don’t know how things will actually play out on either side.

Those observing from the outside feel like the Cubs did very well during trade season, for whatever that’s worth to you.

You take your joy where you can get it these days, and Rafael Ortega’s story sure is providing some.

The rumors had been building to this, but it’s still a stunner.

Anthony Rizzo did it. Javy Báez did it. So of course Kris Bryant did it, too.

Rafael Ortega tried everything he could.

This guy is out of his mind right now!!!

Bryant grew up a Giants fan, and appreciated being traded there.

If Willson Contreras becomes the leader of this team, I’m good with that. But then will the Cubs just trade him after the season?

The Cubs shook of the despair of yesterday and won tonight’s game against the Nationals. See? Everything is just fine.

I wish him nothing but the best.

“We did everything we could over the last week to try to reset this organization and to try to make the best decisions possible.”

The Cubs not only sent out 9 players this trade season, they brought back 12 new players. I just needed to discuss them all to catch up.
