Jake Arietta's pain and realization of the end

Trade deadline left many of us with a hangover

Cubs: Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant,  Javy Baez & Craig Kimbrel trades. 

Did president Jed Hoyer offer reasonable extensions or merely insult players with poor insulting contracts that resulted in trades?

Jed Hoyer's side of the story.  ". . . incredibly proud of what we accomplished, but the nature of our sport is there are cycles and we were at the end of the service time clock with these players . . . "

Anthony Rizzo switches from Cub blue to Yankees pinstripes

Jed Hoyer questions players sincerity in desire to stay with Cubs, "I don't know why these guys did not want to sign  . . . "

Anthony Rizzo requests "Goldschmidt" style extension and Cubs reply with 50% of  his asking price.
 We look to Writer, Sara Sanchez, "Bleed Cubbie Blue" for some early guidance before trades. @BCB_Sara  on Twitter
