Possibly will help the cubs down the stretch, as their bench has been very weak this season. He has had a down year with Cleveland, but he could have an impactful 1 month resurgence. If he does very little, it won't be a big deal. He is a FA after the season.

Too bad many of the younger posters here will have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah it’s funny when cards fans criticize this, when so many times during the TLR era it proved to be advantageous.

I remember Herzog signing Cesar Cedeno.

He was traded for, but good example.

Speaking of Driessen… can you believe he was only 35 years old in 1987?!?

Man we hold our age much better nowadays
