I have no issue whatsoever dealing Alcantara and/or Ballesteros in the right deal. Caissie is the guy I think we would really regret trading away. -
I know lineup construction is everyone's favorite topic, but I would be in favor of moving the team's best hitter up from the 5 spot.
-
It sure seems like he is much more hot and cold than most, but he will get hot again soon and his numbers will end up close to where they always are.
-
Down by 2 with 2 innings to go, can we please stop assuming games are lost when they are still well within reach? Chances are the Cubs will lose, but we have seen them come back several times this year.
-
"Waste" is an interesting choice of words. As if he's a big weapon off the bench.
-
Since when is Tucker not a good outfielder?
-
Andrew Vaughn coming off the scrap heap and suddenly being a useful player for them would be an unfortunate development. With their pitching, they are scary, and might be a better team than the Cubs pre trade deadline.
-
But he almost hit for a cycle!
-
Oh, it's a completely unrealistic and unreasonable suggestion, that also somehow may be their best option.
-
Reese McGuire used to play 3B. Any chance whatsoever he has been talking grounders in the event Amaya is ready to come back?
-
Shaw needs to go back to Iowa again. It's not enough to play defense. There is no solid contact at all.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-8-25
Irrelevant Dude replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Happ to 2B, Nico to 3B, Caissie to LF? Ok, probably not a great idea to weaken three defensive positions, but it's too bad there isn't a spot for Caissie. -
I cannot confirm or refute this analysis. All I know is Happ seems to have a lot of terrible at bats. To be fair though, the same could be said for PCA, so "terrible at bats" probably are not a good metric.
-
They might not be fully buried, but they are deep in a hole with no rope or ladder.
-
Justin Turner as the first pinch hitter off the bench still isn't working for me.
-
Is it though? I would file it more under the category of "mildly surprising." But the Cubs have some obvious holes and there are too many pretty good teams in the NL Central for the Cubs to run away with it.
-
You can't convince me that Brujan is ever a better option than anyone he is pinch hitting for. He is awful, and not a major league player. The Cubs bench is embarrassing.
-
They didn't need to keep as much cash free as they did for that to be the case. Even if they shop at the top of the market, pro-rated salaries aren't even going to come close to what they have available under the luxury tax.
-
Who exactly are we waiting on?
-
Kryptonite
-
Damn Ian, not a good at bat.
-
Didn't hit it hard, but it's nice to not have Arenado at 3B tonight.
-
I mean, he throws with the OTHER ARM! What are they supposed to do?
-
It's pretty incredible the Cubs traded 2 3B's in one deal who are both significantly better than all of their 4+ internal options. Obviously that doesn't tell the whole story because they got Tucker, but it is still unusual.

Better get that shot doctor back.
