Matt Mervis was DFA'd by the Marlins today

He needs a swing coach. It’s worse than it ever was with the Cubs.

On this day in 2007.

Hunter Bigge was stetchered out of the dugout after being hit by a foul ball by Ruschman.

Hope he is ok.

So it's either KB or Lester, right? Either you just say F it let's build a super offense or you get the ace SP that we all want. If you include the 2015 Cubs, then it's got to be God Mode Arrieta.

No question. MVP Bryant would be the biggest upgrade

That depends on if we're talking just about 2025. For this year, Bryant is the only choice. So obvious it shouldn't have to be asked. MVP Bryant on this team would be almost pornographic.

If we're talking about plucking one 2019 player and adding them to the 2025 team for this year and following years, it'd be Schwarber. The rest all started turning into pumpkins at varying rates after 2016, save Baez.

Marlins release Mervis. Feels like he goes to the KBO for a few years.

3 HR, 6 RBI for Kyle Schwarber tonight.

Just like that, Kyle Schwarber says “why not me?” to MVP voters.

.950 OPS, 49 HR, 119 RBI with a full month to go.

Letting him go was so pants-on-head stupid

[BigSlick]

It's sad that Schwarber is the only guy from the 2016 core that still rocks. Sad he was the one we jettisoned first.
