DEAL IS DONE: #Cubs send Samardzija and Hammel to #Athletics for Addison Russell, per sources. May be other players and team(s) involved.


Um, crap - Rest of the American League.

There just has to be more players and team involved. If Cubs really dealt 2 SP's in return for just 1 player, that have officially lost it.

Russell is an elite prospect who plays a premium position. It's not all that crazy. It is crazier on the A's end if anything given the state of their farm system. They are swinging for the ring.

As an ardent hater of the Angels, I am OVERJOYED.

Similar to what the Orioles did last season; betting on winning it all this season.

As I've said a dozen times in the Daily thread, it's beyond belief that the Giants have won as many games as they have with that team of players. Reality is settling in on them and the Rockies.

Where will Hammel and Samardzija go in the A's rotation?

The right thing in not mortgaging the future for an ace this season. You need to shed Jeter from the 2-hole before you can win the AL East.

Huge get very exciting day to be an A's fan amazing 1 - 0 win this afternoon in extra innings.
Should Griffin, Parker and Pomeranz all be healthy going into next season I'd expect Billy to be doing more dealing.

Hoping for the best if somehow get to the World Series or win a World Series it would put more pressure on MLB to find a long term solution to our stadium situation.
