It’s really weird to me that in this era of pervasive digital content churning at a breakneck pace 25 hours a day, eight days a week, we haven’t really heard much about the potential blockbuster trade involving Manny Machado going to the Cubs. You’d expect that such a topic would create borderline obsessive behavior among seasoned media members, let alone all the fanboy bloggers who created entire online platforms just to pontificate about their favorite team.
That’s probably why you’ve made the choice to turn to Cubs Insider, since we’re really the only outlet covering this story at all.
