Hunter Bigge was seen getting hugs in the bullpen.

Im kinda in shock. Dont know what to think. A lot of teams were supposedly after Paredes.

Huge upgrade at 3b, CM has been not good this year. PAREDES isn't a free agent until 2028 and is only 25 so I think this is a move for 2025 and beyond, now go get a Catcher

I actually like this trade and I hope it just opened up the line for Rooker.

Apparently, Hoyer thinks being a buyer is the only way to save his job. I think this is a 2025 move, he isn't a free agent till 2028

Paredes OPS by month April: .920 May: .915 June: .713 July: .628 He also has perhaps the bluest savant page I’ve ever seen, even worse than Bellinger last season: baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/isaac-paredes-670623Of the 16 home runs Paredes has hit this season just 9 would have left Wrigley Field with its tough dead pull alley for a righty. Come and burn me to a crisp if I’m wrong but this is not a good move for the Cubs neither today nor tomorrow.

Its what Jed said they are looking to do and everybody assumed him saying hes not looking to make moves for 2024 meant hes selling. People are worried about Paredes projections and he's been talked about a lot on here. People said he could not repeat his 2023 and he is. So ..... I liked Morel a lot but Im ok with trading him. Bigge Im not thrilled that they traded him. He will end up being somebody they will probably look to get back in a few years.

Paredes 2nd Half: 40 PA in 9 Games, .094/.275/.219, 60 wRC+
Morel 2nd Half: 24 PA in 6 Games, .150/.292/.150, 43 wRC+

Parades is only 25 years old and they just locked up 3b. He’s a good player. This is a really good move IMO. The DH spot is now wide open

Dodgers, Astros, Rangers and Mariners were all after Paredes so it appears there might not be a lot of worries over his projections.

I wish Bigge wasn’t involved. I really loved his potential. Maybe we have irons in the fire for a closer now that Bigge, who looked the part at least to my untrained eye, is no longer with us

He averages 98 on his fastball and hits 101. Cubs apparently think they can fix his issues.

But what do I know?

Bigge would have never hit #8 in the Cubs organization. I know that doesnt really mean shit but it speaks on talent/potential. Pearson had a lot of injury issues .
