Before I get into my own thoughts about what the Cubs did — and didn’t — do at the MLB trade deadline, I’d like to note two articles by Josh. One is today’s Outside The Confines, where there are links to many articles about all the trades made at the deadline. The other is today’s BCB After Dark, where he ran a poll asking you to grade the Cubs’ deadline deals. Rather than duplicate the poll Josh ran there, I’ll just ask you to go vote at After Dark, if you haven’t already.
If you expected the Cubs to have a big selloff this year, you weren’t listening to what President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer was saying.
