This was my first thought but I guess we'll see.

Gotta be unless someone fell in the shower again.

Trade bait. Best way to advertise your trade bait is to get them to the bigs, not many eyes on Iowa. Alcantara isn't looking good in limited opportunities, or maybe it's Dean heading down. I forgot he was even on the team until he pinch-hit for PCA the other night!

I actually don't mind Dean on the roster. He doesn't need ABs, he's a really good baserunner and can play all three outfield spots at a plus level. He's the perfect 26th guy and he'll definitely be on the postseason roster.

Definitely a logjam of versatile infielders for the Cubs with Ramirez, Shaw, and Triantos. I would guess that two of them are gone after August 3rd which makes the Bregman signing even more annoying.

Just looked at our 40 man, total of six players currently in the minors. Those eight spots are just the short term injuries. It’s truly amazing this team has managed to be as successful as they have been.

You wanted Luis Arraez? Here's Luis Arraez that can actually play defense.

BW Jr, that’s one of the only 2 or 3 guys I’d want over PCA…..He’s awesome.

Eh, one year sample after being awful for a long time is nothing but noise in defensive metrics.

It was just a pipe dream of mine to add him so I’m sure it isn’t happening. But I find it pretty funny that posters will make **** up just to disagree with me.

Thanks for the graphic
