Maybe. He's a 33 year old rookie though, so not sure how much we could get.

Wada is not going to get traded. He's trying to build himself some FA value while the Cubs want to know if he's still the pitcher that dominated in Japan before he came to the US and had to undergo TJS. They are more likely to move Wood than Wada.

Awesome for Baker. Really need to see the good Wood out there today and save the pen.

Arrieta just needed a new team. Baltimore does not like their pitchers to throw a cutter and now that Arrieta can throw it everything has come together. Interestingly, Dylon Bundy's best pitch is his cutter. It will be interesting to see if they tell him not to throw it when he gets to Baltimore.
