Aaron Judge to the San Francisco Giants? There's reason to believe he might actually want to play here, given that he grew up rooting for the Giants. San Francisco only has about $66.5 million on the books for 2023, so there's no reason they couldn't add a player of Judge's caliber even if they maintain the disappointing trend of spending about $160 million on their payroll. Signing Judge, extending Carlos Rodón, and making several other key additions could all be in the cards for the Giants if they play their hand right, but will they? How badly did the Giants screw up the trading deadline? Fans want to know, after the team didn't really buy and didn't really sell amidst a highly frustrating and disappointing 2022 campaign. However, making a trade just for the sake of making a trade wouldn't have been wise. Rodón has value for the Giants for the rest of the season, and they can also give him a qualifying offer after 2022. Other top rentals like Willson Contreras weren't dealt, suggesting that the offers in this segment of the market simply weren't good enough. Can Mike Yastrzemski or LaMonte Wade Jr. be optioned? Neither has been particularly productive for the Giants in 2022. Wade can't be optioned, which is a problem considering he has basically contributed nothing to the team this year. Yastzemski, as much as he has established himself at this point, can (and possibly will) be optioned. The Giants have a roster crunch coming up with four players set to return from injuries, and they'll have to make some difficult decisions.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Cubs Radio analyst Ron Coomer to discuss the team's doubleheader loss to the Cardinals on Thursday and to break down why the club didn't deal All-Star catcher Willson Contreras at the trade deadline.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer to explain his thought process in choosing not to deal All-Star catcher Willson Contreras at the trade deadline and to discuss the club's vision moving forward. Hoyer also discussed why the "time wasn't right" for the Cubs to seriously pursue superstar outfielder Juan Soto, who was traded from the Nationals to the Padres in a blockbuster deal.

Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes opened a short show by reacting to Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer's earlier interview on the Mully & Haugh Show. After that, NBC Sports Chicago content producer Ryan McGuffey joined the show to share strong opinions about White Sox general manager Rick Hahn's performance at the trade deadline. Later, Bernstein and Holmes wondered what's going on with Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins, who continues to be absent from practice.

In the second hour of a truncated show, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes welcomed on Patrick Mooney of the Athletic to break down the Cubs' decision to keep catcher Willson Contreras and outfielder Ian Happ at the trade deadline. Later, Bernstein and Holmes listened back to Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer's most notable comments on the Mully & Haugh Show earlier in the morning.

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh welcomed on NFL Network reporter Stacey Dales, who has been making the rounds at NFC North training camps -- including the Bears on Wednesday. Dales also reacted to Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension. Later, Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer joined the show to explain the club's thought process in choosing not to move All-Star catcher Willson Contreras at the trade deadline. Hoyer also discussed why the "time wasn't right" for the Cubs to seriously pursue superstar outfielder Juan Soto, who was traded from the Nationals to the Padres in a blockbuster deal.

Joey Gelman and Dan Collins react to the underwhelming and confusing trade deadline for the Cubs and Sox. Why didn't the Sox do more at the deadline in their 'contenting' year? Or are they waiving the white flag on 2022? Should the Cubs have dealt Willson Contreras and Ian Happ to keep building the future? Or are you happy as Cubs fans to see the two of them stay?

Sara and Danny are back looking at the trades the Cubs made and more importantly the ones they didn't make. Willson Contreras and Ian Happ will be playing at the Friendly Confines for at least the rest of the season, Sara and Danny discuss what it could mean and what the future might hold. They also look at the massive Juan Soto trade and the price the Cardinals couldn't bring themselves to pay. After the break they remember the legendary Vin Scully and discuss why there will never be another like Vin before closing out with a preview of the Cardinals doubleheader and a three game series at Wrigley Field against the Marlins.

Frank Reich vague about a return date for Shaquille Leonard, but insists he is making great progress. Rodrigo Blankenship makes a 56-yarder in practice - the kicker might be the season maker or breaker this year. Storms in the offing - practice today could be moved indoors. (at 10:12) Adam Vinatieri named NFL's best kicker - only Colts on a list without so many of the best ever. (at 11:55) Phil Mickelson and other LIV greed merchants suing the PGA because rich guys always refuse to accept consequences. (at 13:22) Cubs will allow Willson Contreras to walk with a measly draft pick as compensation. Given how the Cubs waste draft picks, that's not ideal. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support

In a frustrating turn of events for all involved including fans, the trade deadline has come and gone and the two players that were predicted to be traded are awkwardly still in Chicago, Willson Contreras and Ian Happ. David Kaplan relays some harsh words about the Cubs with Gordon Wittenmyer and Tim Stebbins about the Cubs being unable to move Contreras and breaking down the other move the Cubs did make.(1:50) - It's a joke the Cubs didn't move Willson Contreras(6:36) - Will they give Contreras the qualifying offer?(12:05) - What was Jed's thought process behind not trading Contreras or Happ(19:30) - Are the Cubs building up the arms in the organization?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the end, the San Francisco Giants were sellers, but they didn't sell their top assets. The Giants traded Darin Ruf to the Mets in a deal that brought back J.D. Davis and three minor leaguers. They traded Curt Casali and Matt Boyd to the Seattle Mariners. And the Giants traded Trevor Rosenthal, just signed less than two weeks ago, to the Milwaukee Brewers. The SF Giants held onto Carlos Rodón and Joc Pederson. The Ruf trade was the most significant move the Giants made. The team was so enamored with Ruf that they gave him a two-year extension prior to the season, with a club option for a third year. But his performance fell off in 2022, especially when thrust into more of an everyday role, and he became expendable. J.D. Davis is a similar player in a lot of ways, another DH type, but he doesn't have big platoon splits and is above-average at the plate against lefties or righties. He can play third, left, and first, none particularly well. Rodón not being dealt probably just means that the offers weren't good enough. He was pretty clearly available, but the Giants needed to be compelled to give up on their season and give up the potential draft pick compensation they'd receive if he rejects the qualifying offer and signs elsewhere. Other top rental options such as Willson Contreras and J.D. Martinez were also surprisingly held onto. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres acquired Juan Soto. It's a brutal outcome from the perspective of Giants fans, who've seen a serious influx of star power into the NL West in recent years—none of it with the Giants and all of it with the Dodgers and now Padres. San Diego gave up a haul to get Soto (they also acquired Josh Bell in the same deal and Brandon Drury in a separate one), but the NL West just got that much better.

MLB looked at the wild-and-crazy end to the 2021 Trade Deadline and said "Hold my beer." Juan Soto went to the Padres in a blockbuster deal, and names were flying all over the United States (and Canada!), unless they were the Cubs' "big two" position players. Did the Cubs front office hold out for too much for Willson Contreras and Ian Happ? Or did the other 29 teams send a wake-up call to Cubs fans about just how good they REALLY are? Plus, what was your favorite moment of Juan Soto's Cardinals' career? Ron, Elliott, and Pete gather mere hours after the deadline to give their immediate takes on this year's deals.

But mainly: Willson and Ian staying? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! Also, now, and forever: EXTEND WILLSON.

On this brand new episode of Cubs On Tap, Joey and Ron recap the snoozing 6-0 loss to the Cardinals and the events of the trade deadline.

James Neveau, from NBC Chicago, joins Jeremy & Pat this week. We discuss our frustrations with the Cubs trade deadline moves. The Cubs don't trade Willson Contreras, and we try to make sense of it. We look at the trades the Cubs did make, and we try to figure out when the Cubs could be competitive again. Enjoy.....and Go Cubs!

The MLB trade deadline came and went, but the White Sox remained quiet and the Cubs kept their guys, as Jason got his hopes up for nothing (01:23). The underwhelming season continues to test his Sox fandom. Jason is next joined The Athletic's Eno Sarris and 670 The Score's Chris Tannehill (24:40). They break down why the Sox didn't make a move, why Tony La Russa was never the right choice for this team, and why the Cubs chose not to trade Ian Happ and Willson Contreras. Tanny also discusses his frustration with the White Sox as they blew this season before it even began (01:03:20). Jason asks his producers what it would take to accept an offer from a company like LIV Golf (01:20:02). Just before the show wrapped, the news came out that former Dodgers announcer Vin Scully passed away (01:34:18).

The MLB trade deadline came and went and there was no shortage of surprising moves - by the Cubs and around the league. Juan Soto and Josh Hader are among the stars switching teams while the Cubs held on to a pair of stars of their own in Willson Contreras and Ian Happ.Even one of the moves the Cubs did make - trading away young reliever Scott Effross - was surprising, though the trio of veterans shipped out was predictable.Our panel of Elise Menaker, Andy Martinez and Tony Andracki break down all the deadline madness and how it affects the Cubs moving forward.Full rundown:00:35 - Trivia03:10 - Reaction to Contreras/Happ remaining with Cubs09:29 - How does this affect the final two months of the Cubs' season? 14:46 - Is Contreras now more likely to sign an extension with the Cubs?18:22 - Jed Hoyer on the Cubs' deadline haul20:29 - What stands out to you most about the Cubs' deals?28:35 - Who needs to step up for the Cubs post-deadline?33:41 - What surprised you most about the deadline?37:25 - How did the Soto trade impact the market for the Cubs?

As David Brown and I wrapped up our discussion of this year's trade deadline and the winners and losers (mostly the Cubs), we found out that Vin Scully died. So the podcast actually starts with a few minutes of us remembering Vin, including his great open to game one of the the 1989 NLCS. Then we get to the deadline talk and try to figure out just what the hell the Cubs were doing, how it makes any sense for them to not trade Willson Contreras and how the Juan Soto trade to the Padres might have screwed up the Cubs plans. We also talk about why Jed couldn't come up with more than plan in the first place. We also try to figure out why the White Sox didn't do anything, what the Brewers and Cardinals were trying to accomplish and we invent a new pre-game routine for Tony LaRussa and Andrew Vaughn. All that, and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message
