Cubs & Nats trade results - wake or rebirth, Rizzo, Scherzer, Bryant etc.

This past week MLB Trade deadline expired and so did some legacy
lineups
Chicago Cubs saw historic World Series champs players traded


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


We discuss Ryan Anthony Dreyer from "On Tap Sports Net" 
for Cubs fan call for Ricketts to sell the Cubs in January



Anthony Rizzo on fire with Yankees breaking new first 6 game
records


Kris Bryant - We felt Cubs treated him poorly on service
time. He should flourish with SF Giants

Craig Kimbrel moves across town from Cubs to White Sox



Nationals trading like an auction block - much more
transparent about trading players with expiring contracts. 
Max Scherzer, Brad Hand, Yan Gomes, Daniel Hudson, Kyle
Schwarber, Josh Harrison,  Jon Lester


Nationals GM, Mike Rizzo, makes difficult decisions


Nationals did have 1.5 years remaining control of Trea
Turner
