Cubs trading Dan Vogelbach to Mariners for Mike Montgomery

[gbill2004]

Can somebody please ban gbill?

So King doesn't need to follow the rules?

[BTS]

Pretty surprised this is the best pitcher the Cubs could get for Volgelbach. Guy has mashed at every level.

He'll be banned when one of the mods gets around to reading this thread.

Likewise, also seems that they could have gotten Montgomery for less.

Do you have a link to rule he broke?

Do you have a link to rule he broke?

Why do we have an "around baseball" thread?

[z3r0s]

ffs guys, don't feed the damn troll. Most obvious troll ever.

Lol not true. I've started non Jays related threads before and they were moved to the "around baseball" thread. Why does this one not apply?

[L54]

If this happened last year I would have expected Vogelbach to be manning LF by the start of August.

[Jonn]

Good spot for Around Baseball.

[Pendleton]

edit: probably shouldn't bother

So that's a "no" on the rules link?

lol banned for what? It was clear what he was doing from the beginning and that was making a point that when someone else makes a random baseball related thread they get bitched out and it gets deleted.

If your asking for the rule book you obviously don't get it..

Exactly. Thank you.

A lot of Cubs fans on the board.

We are less than two weeks away from the trade deadline and one of the league's most exciting teams just moved one of their more interesting trade chips. Many people agreed with RJF when he suggested that too many threads get pushed to the Around Baseball thread. You're trying too hard to prove a point.

 

Now stop it, there is no crying in baseball!

It is not against any to start a thread (if it's happening again and again and the person gets a warning and continues to do it we do something about it). If a mod wants to merge it they will (I won't at this time as I want my message to be seen here). If we are to warn King, we will do it. If we hear anymore about the appropriateness of the thread, the offender will be banned (asking me a question about the rules will be allowed). When I get home I'll see if the thread returns to be about baseball, if it doesn't maybe I'll merge it with around baseball.

It must really suck being a mod on this board. rofl. f***ing no matter what you do people are going to bitch.

I for one am glad this got its own thread: the around baseball one is so large I sometimes miss things.

 

Nice trade, wonder if Cubs will part with Schwarber for Miller now. Miller in their pen is an all-in move.

During today's game the Cubs commentators spent a good two innings discussing the idea of moving Schwarber for one of the Yanks top relievers.

[Brownie19]

I clicked on this thread to find out how this trade generated 4 pages. I immediately regret my decision to feed my curiosity.

The only way the Cubs should even consider that is if they're getting both relievers.

Schwarber and Almora for M & C

On a hunch, I'm gonna say probably not.

This thread was an emotional roller coaster

You can follow your favourite Cubs baseball writers on Twitter and get this info even faster!

[Spanky99]

Meh, good luck getting playing time with Rizzo on the team.

 

That's how I look at it. Maddon loves Montgomery.

[FrozenRopes]

With the deadline approaching, if we post every trade from every team on this page it will bury Jay's related threads. Maybe pin a 2016 baseball trades thread or move it until a jays related trade happens. We all have mlb trade rumors app and twitter etc. None of us are missing these.

[Angrioter]

... and now we know the Tellez' trade value.

He needs more AB's to be put into Vogelbach comps, but yes, they're very similar, wow.

 

Jeff Sullivan's take on the trade...
