Parkins doesn't envision Cubs making a big move at trade deadline

"Maybe they buy, but I would think it’d be a small buy," Danny Parkins says of the Cubs.

Transcript

00:00The more this team plays the more confident I feel like they don't really have they obviously have needs

00:05But they have like needs for upgrades that are so significant that I don't think they're gonna make them at the deadline

00:11But I don't think any huge thing is happening for this team in either direction at the deadline still

00:17Yeah, I really don't maybe they buy but I would think it would be a small buy

00:23Well, it depends. I don't I don't see a massive move in either direction being deserved by this team

00:29I really don't I don't see a massive move on offense coming and and I figured that there was going to be but there's been

00:35Enough of an offensive upturn with some kids and and really, you know with Bush and hap and say

00:43Flowing and Nico Nico what hits the break with an 11 game hit streak

00:48At this point is and and Dan's be showing some flashes. I don't think they make an offensive upgrade

00:54I could see them getting a closer because they need

00:58More high-leverage bullpen arms and

01:02Merriweather could be on its way

01:05Caleb Killian could be an option coming

01:08I don't believe that Al's ally is gonna you know be anything of consequence Ben Brown hurt is a big deal

01:14Kate Horton hurt is a big deal

01:15But if they start to feel better about themselves and then they go out and get a closer whether it's Carlos Estevez from Anaheim

01:21or from the Angels I should say or something like that then Neris can slot back to set up and

01:27They could feel better about the possibility of

01:30Closing down games where they're fortunate enough to get a lead because the starting pitching is still so damn good

01:35So I could very well see them getting a closer over the next

01:40Couple of weeks if they if they're feeling would you good about themselves as they are right now rental closer or multi-year closer

01:46No, I'd want a rental closer because they can still be so volatile from year to year

01:51I just I'd want a small buy on a rental closer if I had to decide right now

01:55I mean a rental closer is not generally a small buy

02:00Proposition they normally go for quite a bit if it so I don't know that I would consider that a small buy

02:07Obviously wouldn't have to be what you gave up for Chapman

02:10Or you know Wade Davis things like that, but it's but trading foreclosure is an expensive thing

02:17this time of year
