Cubs Make Bold Moves: Gausman Trade and Crow-Armstrong's MVP Push

The Cubs, you know, started off the season and in fantasy, you know, we thought it would be Edward Cabrera and Justin Steele and some of the other pitchers they've had. Well, the Cubs, to me, this was in reality, Gray, a trade that they're just hoping avoids a collapse. I'm very always worried about the Cubs collapsing every year. And for good reason, it seems like no matter how good they are, they have to kind of find their way to sneak in the playoffs at the end. But Gossman and Clay Holmes to the Chicago Cubs here, did you like those moves and did you think the Cubs did enough? They certainly tried more than a lot of other teams, that's for sure. Yeah, no, completely. Actually, I really like the Cubs moves. I think Gossman, while having a bit of a down year this year, if you look at his underlying stats, they don't look that different than last year when he had a three point five nine era. So I think Gossman was probably a good buy low for fantasy. And now with the Cubs getting them, I mean, you know, it's like Wrigley is such a tough place to pitch because some days it's one of the best pitchers parks. And other days it's one of the worst pitcher parks. So it's hard to say exactly how much Wrigley is going to affect them, whether or not the wind is blowing in or out. But I think Gossman is actually really kind of like I think he's probably pound for pound as second best pitcher who moved at the deadline. I really, you know, even though his era is a little bit high this year, I think the era is deceiving. I really like Kevin Gossman a lot. I think beyond, you know, scuba obviously is number one, but I like I like the move by the Cubs. And I, you know, with Pete Crow Armstrong, you know, when you look at the the team there, I feel like he's the NL MVP. And I'm obviously I'm in L.A. and, you know, my my heart would normally say Otani. But I think Pete Crow Armstrong is the NL MVP, assuming no incredible like drop off in the final two months or, you know, assuming they they both Otani and him both sort of stay exactly the same as they've been. I like them.
