A trade deadline descent into madness for Cubs fans

On a new episode of Home Runs and Handshakes James Neveau and Frank Nova recap the moves the Cubs made (and didn’t make) at the trade deadline. They start off with their anger at the Cubs missing out on their biggest deadline need (3:00), then turn their attention to breaking down what the team DID do:

20:00 - Michael Soroka for SS Ronny Cruz and LF Christian Franklin
25:00 - Andrew Kittredge for SS Wilfri De La Cruz
28:18 - Taylor Rogers for RF Ivan Brethowr
30:00 - Willi Castro for RHP Sam Armstrong and RHP Ryan Gallagher

After breaking down the new acquisitions, they preview the Cubs' upcoming series against the Orioles and the Reds (46:00). Finally, they react to the passing of Ryne Sandberg, and his impact on their lives and the lives of Cubs fans (47:30).
