  1. Candelario borrowed Amaya's glove last night to play 1B, so I can would assume so
  2. And you thought I was joking. Edit: OK, so I don't know the guy's first name. But why should I? Edit again: Wait, I was right after all.
  3. The Cubs need to add on if they're going to get Anthony Kay some work.
  4. I'm imagining his response when the manager asks him in the dugout after the 4th, "Can you give us another inning?"
  5. The Reds are really letting Lively eat this one.
  6. This is a case of Hoyer dipping his toes in the water of competing for a playoff spot without losing anything of real significance. It's not exciting, and it's probably not enough, but it's better than doing nothing.
  7. That trade deadline apparently went out with a whimper.
  8. Without even knowing who they gave up. I don't like that move for the Orioles.
  9. "Slugger" is doing a lot of work here. https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-removing-slugger-trey-mancini-from-roster-brad9
  10. I guess the Mets have found the new loophole to quickly rebuild a minor league system. Sign star players to huge contracts, then trade them along with truckloads of money to bring back top prospects.
  11. Oh, absolutely. If we're looking at Mancini vs. Wisdom in a vacuum, that's an easy choice to make. I'm surprised the Cubs made it though.
  12. I wish this meant Mervis getting a shot at 1B, but as of now it just seems like the Cubs want to keep Wisdom on the roster rather than Mancini
  13. Cross Nelson Cruz off, as I don't believe he is currently active.
  14. While that is true, the Cubs wasted another 94 at bats on Eric Hosmer. It would have been nice to have just given Mervis that opportunity from the start. Maybe it still would have ended up the same way, but Hosmer was never going to work out.
  15. As the only active Major League player older than me, keep this thing going as long as possible Rich!
  16. The Cubs' 1B situation is about as open as it gets, minus Tauchman complicating things a bit.
  17. Then again, Stroman's return likely wouldn't be nearly what we thought it could have been a month ago, and Bellinger still gives the Cubs the comp pick, so how much are they really losing out on?
  18. Jeimer might be worth a couple mid-level prospects.
  19. I don't know, but if true, that is an interesting stat seeing they have played 65 games against teams over .500 compared to only 41 games against teams under.
  20. Move the game up to 1:20 tomorrow. If the Cubs lose, trade everyone.
  21. Is it me or does Happ foul off a lot of hittable pitches?
  22. It would be unfortunate to waste this bullpen effort.
  23. I take that back. I think that's only if he is outrighted. I believe he still has options to assign to AAA without being outrighted.
