How is everyone doing today? I was holding out hope that they would at least keep Rizzo so last night I was not happy. He was the heart of the team! Now Baez. All I can hope for now is Bryant to be safe.

We knew it was coming but it still hurts. We have tickets to next week's games at Coors Field and now it seems more we bleh.

I had never been an MLB fan until my son got into the Cubs back in 2015 (because his Little League team was the Cubs that year) and I got hooked too. They were so much fun to watch--Rizzo was my favorite because he looked like a big kid just having fun out there. Now I'm just sad...and mad...and confused because apparently I just don't understand how professional baseball works (I know players get traded, but the core of a team?). I'm also mad about two things today--1) That the only Cubs game I've been to was one where Rizzo took a day off and 2) had I known he was going to be traded to the Yankees I would have tried to get tickets to the Field of Dreams game here in Iowa since I'm a resident! At least I can maybe see some of these prospects before they hit the big leagues since we go to I-Cubs games once in a while.

I am mad that they didn’t get one last game at home. You know the fans would have given them a standing ovation.

It's painful and sad. I was mentally prepared for Kimbrel and Baez and even Bryant. But Rizzo last night was a gut punch. The Ricketts family and Jed Hoyer should be ashamed of themselves for how they've gone about this. My mother told me that if I can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, so I'll stop now.

I bet they’ll still get one when their new teams come to town, though it won’t be the same. Now we are in a fetal position I laughed (sympathetically) at this, I know the feeling!

We've given one to Arenado all four times he stepped onto our field.

All I can hope for now is Bryant to be safe. Is his first name Kris? If so, my son just texted me that the Giants got a Kris Bryant.

Well if it tells you anything my Cubs fans, DH and oldest DS, watched the stinking Yankees tonight! Rizzo had a great night. We are also Rangers fans, so we wanted to see Gallo too.
My two were expecting most of the guys to get traded, but didn’t expect quite as many to be gone as are. Rizzo would have been gone at the end of this year anyway, so I guess they might as well get what they can.

Why, why did Rizzo have to go to the Yankees, of all teams?!? The only good thing is he’ll now be in our league so I’ll get to see him play more when they play the Mariners.
