Hearing a possible suitor for Jason Hayward - SF, but it’s a steep price. Cubs would get Samardija and Melancon in return. Sounds like a junk bond deal.

What percentage of the Heyward deal would cubs eat? I’d eat 60 percent to get rid of him. Samardzja would look good as a 5th starter next year in Chicago.

Junk for Junk....
I expect Stanton to be a Dodger next year.
Mind boggling that they would trade Stanton.The Marlins are about to hold yet another fire sale. Stanton, Prado, and Gordon are all available. Right now they plan on hanging onto Ozuna and Yelich, but anything is possible with them

Could see the Cubs going for him...
Samardzija's 3.61 FIP last year suggests he would benefit greatly from going back to pitching in front of a competent defense. In fact... rebuilding Cubs, A's, White Sox, tanking Giants by accident, it's arguable he's never pitched in front of a competent defense.
Benintendi as a Cub? Got a feeling Theo will make it happen.

There's almost no shot Boston trades him.

Red Sox have no power and Schwarber is probably a 40 HR guy in that park, so I wouldn't say no shot.
I'm not crazy about the trade anyway, Schwarber had a joke of a year bc of his first 2 months and still out OPS'd Benintendi.
I guess if you take away that:
Schwarber is liability in the field while Benintendi is a good glove
Schwarber carries a plow with him on the bases while Benintendi is an excellent base runner
Schwarber had almost 200 fewer PA's because he essentially became a platoon player
Than yeah I guess your argument works.
I don’t want Bryce Harper.
Schwarber’s numbers in the outfield are nowhere near as bad as you think, so you’re mostly basing this off the fact he’s chunky and made a few errors in the playoffs. Not good evaluation.
And Schwarber was a .900 OPS guy in the second half. That’s valuable. He also hit lefties decently when given a shot in the second half.
Benitendi needs to hit with more power. A corner outfield that is below .800 OPS in this juiced era isn’t going to cut it.
That said, I have a pretty good read on these deals. Called Lester to Cubs, called Theo to cubs, called Maddon to Cubs, all years in advance. I’ll put my baseball knowledge up against anyone, especially you, good lad.
Your baseball knowledge consists entirely of being a cubbies fanboy
how could you not
400+ million dollars. Seems you haven't paid attention to how mega contracts have worked out as a whole.
lol yeah I'm sure there's no difference between signing a 26 year old Bryce Harper and a 34 year old Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera
do you even think before you speak
How's Kershaw's deal looking for example?
Funny arguing with you on baseball contracts considering we both were on opposite ends of the Heyward signing at the time they made the deal. You wouldn't listen. LOL
Signing megacontracts never really works out. Are the Cubs going to sign Bryant, Rizzo, and Harper to megadeals? What about the others when it’s time to get paid? There is a lot of protection in the Nats order and his numbers are good, not great. What about egos?how could you not
wrong, in 2014 I said they were poised to be the best team in baseball
from 2015-2017, they won more games than any other major league club and played in 3 NLCS's and won a world series... someone isn't a homer for being right little lady. I know you're a moron, but you're not too dumb to understand the concept of being right and wrong.

Wrong again, I wanted another player over Heyward (who didn’t even work out)
But if lying to yourself to feel better is all you have, enjoy it. Pretty pathetic
