So we've got one writer saying the offense isnt good enough to make a big trade, and now another one suggesting they buy, but also trade Seiya?
-
Taylor Ward's 2026 plate discipline would definitely fit in our lineup
-
Gonna see some pen arms churn til they make a move is my guess
-
I feel like they're letting the rest of the roster down if they let Taillon make any more starts
-
Jameson Taillon
-
Guessing it's more like Mangiapane is gonna ride pine a lot more with Kane on the roster
-
Detmers and Peralta seem to meet the bar of availability without too much cost if the Cubs get 2... and maybe Peralta has some juice out of the pen in October if he doesn't get it together as a starter?

Can we ban this fool?

listen, if the price for Skubal is just Rojas and either Wing or Reid, you do it in a heartbeat if you are comfortable with Skubal's medical. He's the kind of guy that boosts an entire team and makes you think you can win 1-0, 2-1 kind of games. He can start twice in a playoff series and you feel good about winning both of those games. The Cubs don't have that, and if the price to bring him in is a (very promising) infielder who is blocked and a low-level pitching prospect, you do it. Plus, maybe he dominates down the stretch and the Cubs fans love him and he falls in love with playing in front of an awesome Wrigley crowd and signs with you in the offseason and you have a dominant pitcher for another 7-8 years

I'd feel a lot better if we were opening the series with someone other than fresh-off-the-IL Taillon

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-10-26
Rex Buckingham replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That throw was amazing -
The throw from 1B... what?
-
Love those double play balls. I bet Boyd is done though with still being relatively recently off the IL
-
Amaya and Bregman would need a sun dial to time a race between them

The US never seriously threatened to score other than the Balogun breakaway after the Tillman goal (which Courtois likely had saved if not for the deflection). Sure we had lots of possession, but how much of that was Adams and the defenders shuffling it around and never really getting anything dangerous moving forward? We had no answers for playing from behind.
