No, this isn't to boast about the current team.

This is all time.

Name an excellent Cubs acquisition. There are thousands of 'em.

I say Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger.

From a Cub fan perspective I would assume ricketts’ acquisition. Without a fan owner things may have turned out very different.

The Cubs got Sandberg and Bowa for DeJesus, who was something like a .200 hitter the season prior to the trade. Just a terrible move by the Phillies.

Spell the fucking name correctly holy shit. How can you consider him such an excellent historical acquisition with one of the best pitching seasons of all time and you don't even get his name right? He was here for 5 years.
