Theo has followed his plan out in rebuilding the Cubs. He purged the roster, rebuilt the farm system and spent the money when the team showed its ready for contention. It is on the players and coaches now. Cubs fans should be thrilled at the direction of that ball club.

I am with you Dojji, love Pedroia and what he brings to the field but he is not going to age well. I said it when they signed him to his extension. Unfortunately he is owed a lot of money still and hasn't finished a season in a few years not on the DL. Not sure many teams are gonna be lined up to make a deal for him. We as fans are just gonna have to suck it up and cross our fingers for his remaining years just like Yank fans had to with Jeter. And in the end I'm ok with that considering who he is and what he has done for the Sox in his career.

Seattle fans already calling for Dipito's head on a stake lol

I am seeing Smith is a power arm and Mariner fans aren't happy to see him go. Elias looks like a pre arb lotto ticket with upside. Not a terrible trade imo

Anyone know anything about these guys?

RP Carson Smith and LH SP Roenis Elias

It's Miley. I agree with Pal tho, if it's for spare parts I am not a fan of the trade

Latest buzz from Frodo is Seattle and Boston are moving towards a deal for Miley. No speculation on the return

Miley is a cost controlled innings eater the pitched ok in his first season in the AL East. He has decent value to any number of clubs, especially NL teams.

Maeda is interesting for a mid rotation option. I've seen reports saying his expected contract(posting fee not included) is in the 5/80m area. I wonder how hard the Sox will be shopping Miley at the WM? IMO he is the one getting traded if the Sox are still looking to add a SP. Idk what they should do with Kelly. He seems to have shown enough at the end of the season to warrant another look as a SP. I've seen people want him in the BP as a power arm and on the surface that seems like a good idea but Kelly struggles when he is out there letting it rip and thats kinda what you would want him doing if he is a RP. Buchholz I have no faith in. Hopefully he pitches well before he lands on the shelf.

Glad to see some things don't change here haha Theo exits- "he was a baboons ass he deserves no credit for those WS titles!" Cherington exits- "he was a baboons ass, Theo deserves credit for the '13 WS title" Lol I have missed this place more than I thought. Where the hell is Fred btw?

Been away for awhile, bought a house and have been busy all summer. But had to come on for this! I like the move, don't care about the money lol And for those saying he won't opt out at 33 cause he wont be able to do better then 4/120mish lets not forget Grienke is 32 and the rumored offers for him are in the 5 to 6 year range at 30M+. If Price stays a top flight SP the next 3 years he will surely opt out imo. All in all.... Yaaaay! Hope everyone is doing well

Kelly has had enough really good starts to keep running him out there and see if he finds more consistency. Chili for whatever reason doesn't seem to fit well with the current roster imo. But it's always hard to tell just from watching the games. If he's fired it won't shock or anger me. 2 months is kind of a small sample size but watching the offense struggle night in and night out is getting old as a fan. The rotation seems to overall have gotten better to me since the new PC, but it's way early so that is gonna have to play out over the year.

Finally that gauntlet of LHP is over. Papi still looks off but wow has Napoli finally found it. Dude went from corpse to en fuego over night haha
