Hear me out. How about a solid MLB pitcher AND cash for a couple of mid prospects in high A? -
Jed loves to pay for par.
-
I have no idea what to think of the potential Taillon trade market. There are so many different variables. - Do teams believe this version of Taillon is sustainable, for the rest of this year and beyond? - How do teams view his contract situation? Being locked up for 2 more years at a reasonable salary should be a net positive, but I could also see some teams being scared away by those additional years. - How do the Cubs view Taillon as a 2025/26 rotation option? He would seem to be important rotation depth, and you don't trade a guy like that unless the offer is substantial. I just have a hard time believing the Cubs are going to get the type of offers that would lead them to part with a 2025 rotation piece.

That is why it was bad. He over thought it for sure instead of just throwing the ball.
-
Michael Busch looking like he has played first base his entire life.
-
He has looked really good after a few hiccups early on. I suspect he could have also played a better third base than Morel, if that was the direction the Cubs had decided to go.
-
That would be the most aggressive move he's made all year.
-
Apparently Jed was supposed to meet the media almost an hour ago and still hasn't started speaking. Could be nothing, or maybe something's afoot?
-
Yeah, I can't get worked up about this. As much as we want everything to stay the same forever and to have the Wrigley area be what we remember it as 40 years ago, that ship has already sailed. Nobody will actually miss these old buildings.

Not likely. He would probably K, but if not it's going to be a fly ball
-
Is it crazy to have PCA bunt here too?
-
Amaya is a damn good bunter.
-
Bunt with Dansby. I don't care when the last time he bunted was.
-
Before he gave up the home run, I was just about to post... Imanaga begging for strikes feels like he knows that he cant give up a single run and still have a chance to win the game.

Ballgame

Are they though? None of their top three starting pitchers are particularly young. Yes, they have some intriguing young arms, but it's not like they have a rotation full of young aces.
-
Dansby is like a stock that hits support every time he gets near .200. He has 1 or 2 decent games to look like he is starting to figure things out, then goes right back in the tank for an extended period of time.
-
PCA needs to immediately drop down and start doing push ups every time he hits a pop up like that.
-
Remember when the Cubs swept the Orioles? That was fun.
-
On one hand, it seems incredibly unlikely that Kyle Hendricks is going to repeatedly intentionally throw at another respected veteran player. On the other hand, Kyle is exactly the kind of guy who could get away with that. Maybe that was his way of trying to show some fight where the rest of the team hasn't? Probably not, but I can't completely rule it out.
-
Kyle Hendricks just tied William Hutchinson for 7th all-time on the Cubs strikeout list.
-
This home plate umpire has had a massive impact on the game.
-
PCA swinging through multiple hittable fastballs in the zone makes me sad.
-
Should have been "our tool bag"

Irrelevant Dude replied to cl smooth's topic in General Baseball Talk
In recent years, it has been completely timer-based without the pitch limit, so it is actually much less frantic this year.
