Yes...and there's also the international slots and draft picks, too. The Cubs are planning to go balls out in international signings this season.

Kris Bryant's downtown Chicago apartment...

I don't know what it is about this guy, but I'm just infatuated and I really don't care who knows it.

Looks like he lost some velocity (almost 2 MPH since 2013) over time and had a few struggles at the beginning of the year for the M's. He probably won't be in AAA for long, most probably.

There was almost no way we were going to get Ackley for Castillo even if Ackley sucks.

I have no idea how beef is valued by other teams.

I mean now I do...but 30 minutes ago the only thing i knew was that we made a trade with seattle, they don't want ackley. I never connected any more dots than that.

I'm also probably guilty of overvaluing Beef.

Yeah, I thought you were overvaluing Castillo. I like him and all, but he is a low-end catcher.

Well, do you want a guy with a 1.50 WHIP in a pitchers park in your major league pen?
They'll see if they can work out his problems. If not, not much is lost anyway.
