I am not a Cubs fan but it’s hard to look at what you guys had done the past couple years and what you got in these deals and not see it as a win long term. Your system was already much improved and now it’s probably one of the best in baseball. You can see the next core in there and it’s a franchise that’s going to spend money to supplement it.

Trading away cornerstones like that is brutal but I think you’ll look back on it in a few years as a great decision. It was a sellers deadline and an ideal time to strike

I think most outside of the die hard Cub fans like me - who are either star struck with the heroes we lost are ate up with hating the Ricketss - I think most outside that circle agree with you - in fact everyone I've read that's weighed in on it says this was the right thing and the best thing - a win for the organization - or certainly better than holding on and overpaying that core group that's quite frankly struggled the last 4 years.
