Listened to this episode this morning and I thought it was very cathartic. As someone who has become more and more emotionally invested in Cubs prospects over the last few years it was tough to see leave so many guys I watched grow up in the system. I think Greg and Bryan made a very clear case that, if this team is where we think it should be in the next few years, there wasn’t a very obvious fit on the major league club for the DJ’s, the Nelly’s, the ManRod’s. Hope to see them find consistent roles on their new teams soon.
