Abner Uribe called a Chicago coach to tell him he'd like going to the White Sox, but while Brewers GM Matt Arnold has plans this offseason to clean the bathroom, whether or not he'd trade Uribe (one GM rumor is to Boston for Masataka Yoshida and prospects) in the next four weeks is questionable.
The Cubs are in the move mode, shopping James Triantos, Ryan Rolison, Trent Thornton, et al. But teams like the Phillies, the Dodgers, and the Athletics have passed on them thus far because they're all so delusional, and nobody likes that, not even Preston Mattingly, and he's a net.
It appears that Jacob deGrom is ready to step in the rotation, but one of the Rangers big question marks is whether to make Robby Ahlstrom a starter or a reliever, adn then what happens to MacKenzie Gore?
Wiht Josh Hader virtually unhittable since his return from a contused hand, and Bryan King throwing very well and in great shape, the Astros staff is starting to take form as the best it's been all year.
