RP is a good dude - feel bad for him, but I’m glad that happened at the Cubs’ expense.

Was Presley traded? Who did they get back in return?
The Astros got a minor league pitcher (Juan Bello), $8.5 MM in payroll space, and a free roster spot. 
It was more about who didn’t we keep. 
Our return was mostly not dealing with what you saw above and shedding salary. He pitched ok before that but his best days are clearly behind him.

It was time to move on from RP he isn’t as good as Hader so he wasn’t going to close and he was not effective in the 8th inning role Abreau should have been getting those innings last year.

How has Abreu done this season?
He’s given up runs in exactly 1 of his 17 appearances. That’s pretty good, right?

I’m glad that he is pitching better this season.
It’s not as though he was bad last year….he had a handful of bad outings but was still dominant most of the time.

For his standards but he still doing better than last season, which I think was probably the worst of his career.
WTF are the Astros doing on the bases tonight? Just ridiculous.

Well, LMJ didn’t look good at all today…
7 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning…no, he did not

He just screwed the entire bullpen….send his a$$ back down….nobody has time for that BS.
It’s bad enough when you don’t give your team a chance to win….its even worse when you lesson the chances of them winning the next 2-3 games because half the teams arms are about to fall off.
