Manager Joe Maddon figures that with another 12 days before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, the Cubs front office is not finished.

I baseball dumb for NSBB but this probably just to add more pitching depth since there’s so many makeup’s in the second half?

Was I supposed to read this in a caveman voice? ‘Cuz I did.

I hope Jesse is ready for Saturday. Got a hunch he could be the first one up with Walkman pitching game #1.
