Diamondbacks starting their sell-off
-
Bradley and Fairbanks would be interesting. Adding Fairbanks would be great for the pen, and Bradley has good stuff. Not sure Yandy would be worth it, because I really don't think he can play 3rd... but I'm just a guy on a message board and not in the Cubs FO. -
Shaw!!!
-
great start to the 2H
-
like seeing that clean inning from Keller
-
all of it is designed for short clips that can be shared on social media. They do not care about the viewing experience, they care about "moments" that can be shared. It's the "Chris Paul hits a 3 to cut the lead down to 42" thing. The generation they're trying to hook as fans aren't tied to particular teams as much as players and they care as much or more about highlights and "moments" as actual results of games

2025 In-Season Cubs Top Prospect Lists Updates
Rex Buckingham replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
that seems nuts... we've already seen Mo tear up the lower minors, and he's only 8 months older than Conrad, Rojas is almost 2 years younger, plays a more premium position, and is on fire at South Bend, and Wiggins has a k/9 over 11 in (limited action) AA. I can see maybe the shine wearing off Alcantara, and not being impressed with Long... but having him any higher than 5 seems like SNTS to the max, especially with the injury concerns (and yes, I know Raisin is just the messenger and does not hold this opinion) -
Busch leading off, I like it
-
check out Jackson Merrill's line so far this year, or Corbin Carroll's first half last year... hitting in MLB is hard, even for guys who have had great success https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/merrija01.shtml

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-8-25
Rex Buckingham replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I think this is an underrated consideration. Not signing Tucker (while bad) is something the Cubs are almost uniquely prepared for. They can put Seiya back in RF (which despite Tucker's previous Gold Glove, he has been roughly equal to Seiya's D last year according to BRef) and then find which of the young bats fits at DH and/or mix and match in RF with Seiya -
Starting rotation options available now

Triantos alone might be an overpay for Alcantara -
Sweep them, then trade for their players you want
-
I mean, that's a lazy fly ball that just happened to land in those stupid Crawford boxes. Let's hope we can get a guy or two on and loft one up there
-
Maybe if he makes the package to get Keller and Bednar lighter? Otherwise, he's been Justin Turner level with the bat this year, so no thanks
-
People are asking...
-
For all the hand wringing about Cam Smith, dude has fewer HRs than Nico this week. Also, I watched from Nico's bases loaded groundout through the Smith HR. I will not turn it back on.
-
It's hard to compare, but as mentioned KD did come back and is still awesome. Though I do think KDs game is less avout quickness and explosion than Halliburton and Tatum and more predicated on being an absolutely incredible shooter ans a real good athlete at 7 feet tall with great bball IQ.

Busch is one of the best 1B in the league. Both at the plate and in the field. What a deal
-
Dansby got a hit with RISP!
-
Garbage
-
to be fair to Pomeranz, only the fake runner scored... Now to have Brujan run for McGuire and hope the top of the order comes through
-
I hate it, let the kid keep pitching and trust your offense to do something against their garbage pen
-
Well, looks like the Cubs will get 3+ innings against the Pirates bullpen, which seems to be a matchup strongly favoring the Cubs
-
how does he not get that call on 3-0?
-
The runs haven't come yet, but Skenes has had to work much harder than Horton so far
