True enough...IF they stand to get "little to nothing".  IF Theo can get
away with that...WHY on earth would he send Rizzo?

Are you suggesting the Cubs don't need him?   Not arguing...just
suggesting there is at least as little chance this would happen as
say...getting Garza from them.

Well, I was starting out being facetious as it would be funny if we ended
up with Rizzo back. And then it moved to why we would want him.  But yes, I
see little chance of it happening.   With them rebuilding, he could be the
1b for them for a while.

He could be plan "B" for Theo. The Cubs are rumored to be hovering
around Fielder to see if his price drops to what they consider
reasonable.

Either way it looks to me like Epstein received more than he gave up.
