This is an absolute joke. The Ricketts family sure is working hard to endear themselves to the fanbase.
Bradley could easily bounce back and have a good, if not great season. Silva? Not a chance.

It's funny the way attitudes change. I haven't paid that much attention to this board for the last few months because I don't like to get involved with the 1000 rumors, 7 of which turn out to be true, but at the end of the season nobody was saying Bradley could easily bounce back and have a great season.

On another team? Lots of people said he could be productive on another team -- just not the Cubs.
I think he could have bounced back with the Cubs, but he'd have to grovel a lot with the fans/players/management...and that was never going to happen. He wanted to leave and he got his wish.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
so if that is the case, what did you really expect to get back for him?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I wanted to keep him. Of every option available, keeping him was the best one.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was never an option. Ever. and if it was, it would have blown up in our faces and you'd be pissed that we didn't trade him.
Let it go. Keeping him was never an option. It would never have worked. Deep down inside you know it.
