I forgot this big nugget……ZOBRIST,HEYWARD,LESTER,DARVISH have HUGE contracts, yet we haven’t signed BRYANT,BAEZ,RIZZO,CONTRERAS,HENDRICKS to long term contracts yet. I thought we were rumored to go after HARPER at the end of the year. WHICH I DOUBT because of HEYWARD. he is who we need to get rid of somehow. I would love to have MACHADO, its not adding up. #CUBS FOR LIFE

The notion that Baez is a better defensive SS than Russell is 100% false.

If Baez is the better shortstop, you think the Orioles’ don’t know that as well? What keeps them from asking for Baez? Baltimore is going to get better offers than the one they get from the Cubs.

Baez is a better Shortstop than Russel anyway. The deal above seems like a no brainer. Even is we can’t wrap up Machado long term you really are not losing anything except a prospect in this deal. You can plug Happ in at 2nd and shift El Mago over to Short and have a better team anyway. Russel has always been over-rated.
