Soler included in discussion...

Might explain why the extension is the big holdup. Torres and Soler would be a pretty big overpay unless they are getting an extension.

that's huge for NY. Imagine Soler's power at Yankee Stadium.

Sources: Aroldis Chapman to Cubs looking likelier. Multiple pieces from Cubs, including Gleyber Torres, are agreed upon. Still not done.

Not much I wouldn't send the Cubs for Eloy.

Also saw on Twitter from a Cubs reporter that there could be some Eovaldi speculation as the Cubs have been after him for a while.

Yah... Eloy looks to be the real deal next superstar

 

[Heyward]

If they're including Soler, would have to think an extension is part of the deal.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Much remaining to be known in the Chapman deal. Per @JulieDiCaro, #Cubs Soler and #Yankees Pineda, Eovaldi and Beltran may be involved.

 

[Heyward]

This looks like the makings of a major deal for both sides.

With the amount of names in that trade I wonder if there's going to be a third team

Sounds like deal is done. Torres + for Chapman. That's it.

I really wish we had sent them Inciarte this past offseason in a package centered around getting Eloy.

Highly doubt that gets Eloy back unless that would include Julio with him.

Right now there is no way sure, but this past offseason before Fowler resigned and they were willing to send us Soler for Inciarte I think it would have been doable. By the beginning of next season Eloy is probably a top 30 prospect so clearly no way it would come close to happening now.

Good deal for both teams.

 

[zbhargrove]

When we were rumored to be dangling him to the Cubs, Eloy was not considered a big prospect yet... just a toosly kid.

 

[Braves1976]

The Astros lineup is insanely talented.

Yep, with their offensive talent I think they might still catch Texas and win the AL West this year. Maybe turn the tables on Texas in that Texas did that to them last season.

 

[SJ24]

If the Yankees somehow get Gleyber Torres AND Eloy Jimenez, they are going to win BIG in a few years.

Source: #Yankees-#Cubs trade, if completed, is not simply a 2-for-1 - Torres and another prospect for Chapman. “Much more than that.”

I love how the Braves sign and make trades for 50 guys in hopes one has trade value at the deadline and NONE do....they all under perform. Even all our young value guys get hurt. The Yankees try with one guy and win big...gah...I fricken hate them.
