Saturday, the Cubs acquired right-hander, Jharel Cotton from the Oakland A’s, for cash; just a minor trade, but at least the ball has started rolling. Full Story »
I agree with the author that I'm not expecting much from Cotton, but understand the Cubs rolling the dice on him while Theo's hands are fiscally tied this year. Also agree I would like to see Hamels get what he is asking for. And as far as Rizzo is concerned, where as the Barry Bonds of baseball are what is the worst in baseball, Rizzo is everything that is right in baseball. Rizz is a pure Class Act. As soon as Theo can fiscally manage, he needs to sign the big guy to an extended Cub contract to ensure he finishes his career as a Cub. He deserves it. Nice article.
