Cubs acquired LHP Jose Quintana from the White Sox for OF Eloy Jiménez, RHP Dylan Cease, 1B Matt Rose, and INF Bryant Flete.
The first big trade-deadline domino has fallen, with the defending World Series champs securing a top-flight starting pitcher as they aim to rebound from a disappointing first half. Quintana owns a 4.49 ERA in 104 1/3 innings this season, but he was in a nice groove leading into the All-Star break and the 28-year-old left-hander carries a very team-friendly contract that could keep him in a Cubs uniform through 2020. In return, the White Sox get more high-upside talent for their suddenly-stacked farm system. Jimenez is among the top prospects in the sport, and Cease was recently rated the Cubs' No. 2 prospect by Baseball America.

Re: Jose Quintana traded to the Cubs
Makes me wish we had a couple more years of control on Lance Lynn. Lynn and Quintana are fairly similar pitchers results wise, and it would be great to get a haul for him rather than maybe one top 100 guy.

You just aren't trying hard enough. Give them time. Normally the first time they open their mouth as a cub does it for me.pioneer98 wrote:The Cubs have too many guys that I can't hate.

It's not the players that make the Cubs the Cubs. Talk to a fan for a few minutes and you'll rediscover your hate.pioneer98 wrote:The Cubs have too many guys that I can't hate.

Big move.
And with that, the Cubs' minor leagues are shot. This is pretty much what they had to deal.
It does give them a very good 1-3 for the next couple of years.
