LOL.... You guys will be back

One month trade analysis: NYY and SF added great pieces from CHC; NYM and CHW did not. Baez is a really good baseball player, but offensively, he didn't make a lot of sense for the Mets. Across town in Chicago, the White Sox are using a HOF closer in the 8th and it's not working out so well.

Rizzo isn't the same guy that he used to be, but he seems to be perfect for the Yankees, and KB is a GREAT baseball player. He was under appreciated in Chicago, and seems to feel 'at home' in SF.

If the Cubs are committed to a quick rebuild, I'd love to see them figure out a way to bring Rizzo back and I'm okay with an overpay. Looking at their system after the deadline, we don't have a short term answer at 1B, but the pipeline is heavy at SS, plus we now have two ML-ready second basemen in Hoerner and Madrigal. The future in CF is Brennan Davis and he's a top 20 prospect in all of baseball. Probably a late '22 call up.....Rizzo, plus a front line starter, and reclamation SP project and some backend BP arms would make sense. Truly, I have no idea what they'll do this winter. They have like 40M committed next year; they don't have to go crazy this winter, but they HAVE to be active in free agency.

Rizzo, after starting off on fire that first weekend has actually been pretty bad. (.222, 3 HR, but 2 were the first weekend. But, since they got him, Voit has been on a tear. So, maybe it lit a fire? Pretty healthy list of Free Agents this winter. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/2...gents.html
