As a cubs fan I totally agree.. I have cringed at his free agent buys and the two "big trades" - much more so the second
Lester - a fine purchase but Scherzer would have been far better
heyward - a $25Mish per season liability at the plate
Chatwood - pitching in triple A
Morrow - injured
Dharvish - pitched below replacement and then shelved for the season
Much more damning is mortgaging our future as Torres and Eloy are better than anything we have in our lineup and Cease is looking like a top of the rotation starter....
I guess I understand the Chapman trade but there were cheaper shutdown closer options - as in you give up just Mckinney and another mid-level prospect for someone like wade Miller
But the Quinana trade boggles the mind - was always a number 3 at best on a good team... and you gave away a potential generational bar and potential top of rotation stud... I mean chris sale cost the red sox less than what the cubs paid of quintana - mocada was overrated with his bust % very very high, insiders knew it
Of course Theo has done a lot of good including bringing us a ring. But I see a team that cannot hit at all in the playoffs against big pitchers (remember dodgers series), trades that mortgaged our future, and free agent acquisitions that have failed time and again...
