today. Finally he has some good AB and then Boone sits him for Gardner going for the sweep where they have struggled all season .

They are obviously desperate to make the playoffs trading for Gallo and Rizzo but then they don't put their best foot forward on a daily basis . Makes no sense

we already know. Boone got his lineup printout from the Yankees ML system.

to see how he justifies it and also for the media to put pressure on the Organization for the way they operate.

Trading a lot of quality prospects in your farm system to make a playoff push and then benching Stanton for Gardner after he got pulled early anyway the last 2 games is a complete contradiction


Great play by Wade

I think several good posters have said the guys they gave up were either going to be lost to Rule 5 draft(possibly) or were blocked by others at higher levels. So prospects serve no purpose if they are lost for nothing or just linger in the minors for years.
FWIW...

Rizzo is an upgrade, no doubt. What are they doing with Voit since they did not trade him?

@section125....If they can re-sign Rizzo then Trade Voit in the offseason. For the rest of the season have Stanton in LF and DH Voit/Odor depending on matchups
Rizzo is already the leader of this team.

Cashman and Boone will not let Stanton play the field. I wish they would. He can play. But if you notice, he does not run out grounders much more than trotting. I am sure they told him it is not necessary to reduce/remove any chance of a pulled muscle.

My die-hard Cubs fan friend says the sentiment amongst the beat writers is that Rizzo is so entrenched in the community there that this is essentially the same thing as the Yankees did with Chapman a few years back: a few-month rental in exchange for prospects. He fully expects Rizzo to re-sign with the Cubs in the offseason.

Probably correct, but the Yankees do have that huge aura...and I'd bet Voit would be cheaper to sign then Rizzo, so Cashman would lean that way.

Well then that is your answer...(Team control for 3 more years) Voit is not as good as Rizzo, but that doesn't matter to Cash or Hal. Somebody on the team needs to be cheap to pay for Cole, Stanton, DJLM, Chapman, Britton, etc plus Judge, maybe. I do not see Gary getting huge $$$.
I always loved Rizzo as a hitter and all around excelent baseball play  
Victor in CT : 8/2/2021 7:38 am : link
he's a throwback. Situational hitter.

Gallo just what I though he'd be: a lefty version of Stanton, Sanchez et al. 1 for 12 with 5 Ks.

Kris Bryant said that Jed Hoyer did the best he could to put the four players traded in the best situation to win and from a family perspective in the immediate term. Pretty sure Rizzo will be back unless the Yanks pony up a ton of money.

Matt M. : 8/2/2021 12:52 pm : link
I would want to re-sign Rizzo over Voit. I was advocating trading Voit last year as early as before the season ended. I always felt last year would be the height of his value. He is a nice player, but with his health, average at best glove, and last year probably being the max power output you would see from him, he's not a necessity to have.

Even if Rizzo proves too expensive for Hal's imposed budget and/or he wants to re-sign with the Cubs, I would still try to deal Voit and figure out 1B. For example, on the cheap they could try to work Andujar at 1b beginning as soon as the season is over.
I've been saying it  
adamg : 8/2/2021 12:56 pm : link
Trade Voit to unload either Chappy or Britton. We don't need two 15 mill dollar relievers if we're going to pinch pennies.

I don't disagree here. Are you saying Voit be thrown in a deal including one of those two?

Even with Chapman's struggles a couple of weeks ago, I'd still prefer him over Britton if forced to choose. But, I'd be fine either way.
I'm not sure the Cubs are going to want him back at a free agent price  
arniefez : 8/2/2021 1:12 pm : link
If that was the case why is he a free agent? I guess it's possible but the Cubs seem to be rebuilding meaning going cheap with owners that are horrible in every way. Rizzo is everything you want in baseball player but he is 31 years old.
Of  
mitch300 : 8/2/2021 1:27 pm : link
Course we have to wait to see how things play out. Why would Rizzo who can go anywhere,want to go back to a team that is rebuilding and probably won’t be a contender for 2-3 years down the line.
