14 in a row now, for the 2nd time this year, and their .250 WP is just barely hanging onto 40 win pace.
-
From what I've read it's kind of the opposite. The asking prices are very high because of all the buyers, but they're high to the point people are wavering about pulling the trigger.
-
Orioles definitely wouldn't move Bradish especially since they're already almost definitely going to lose Burnes. At that point their rotation would be Grayson Rodriguez/Eflin/Taillon and a lot of question marks in 2025.
-
I'd say this opens up RF, with Seiya going to DH. There's a lot of RF available in FA.
-
This is pretty much what I said earlier. Even if you build in regression because of Wrigley, you're still looking at a guy who is probably a top 10 3B. If the truth is somewhere in between then you've got a borderline all-star.
-
This is the one trade I'd basically be OK with them just giving him away. His money could be better spent on a bat first RF next year.
-
This as well to my above post. It's not like if they aren't homeruns they're just outs.
-
The expected homerun stuff is misleading too because it assumes he's playing every game at Wrigley.
-
The only reason I consider moving Nico is because the Cubs need bats bad and don't have a lot of positions to add one if Bellinger is coming back. If you can add a more offensive oriented 2B then I'm game.
-
I lack the skills to express how much I would hate that.
-
Yeah, if I'm throwing major prospects at a guy, it's not one with all the question marks that come with Roberts.
-
On a .197 babip, he still posted a 102 wRC+ since June 1st. His LD/FB/GB% are all pretty similar to 2023, but his quality of contact is down a bit which is something to watch.

I'm probably the high man on Alcantara here and that would be really disappointing unless a major piece was coming back -
He has also only been a starter for 3 months has a very significant injury history. If you had them kind of comparable I'd get it, but having one worth literally near double the other is idiocy.
-
Let me preface this by saying I'd very much prefer Neris not being on the 2025 team, but he's actually starting to work himself into simply bad rather than horrific peripherals. He's still very much not worth his contract, but he's kind of tolerable now.
-
While I do agree this feels an underpay, BBTV also thinks that Crochet is almost twice as valuable as Justin Steele and Justin has an extra year under team control.
-
14th loss in a row for the WSox, I almost feel pity at this point. Then I remember they can't pick in the top 10 despite being historically awful and I laugh and I laugh.
-
If Wisdom had any kind of hit tool.......
-
I still think it's probably 20% or less that he's moved, but the odds definitely climbed up a bit today.
-
PCA just has game breaking speed. He has to do so little offensively to be tremendously valuable. If he could even be a .700 OPS guy he'd probably put up 4+ fWAR with his defense and baserunning.
-
Unless he's waiving his opt out clause, why would he?, I see no purpose in this.

Not sure how he hasn't been promoted to AAA yet. -
Well when he's demanding a contract extension if he's traded to a team that plays in October, I'd say he was the one who made that decision for the White Sox.
-
This gives the Cubs a ton of money to fill RF/C in the offseason. Not that I believe it's going to happen, but they'd seriously have Soto money available now that 3B is filled relatively cheaply.
-
Not Cub related, but it's still fun, Crochet got lit up a bit and the White Sox are down 6-1, 12 outs from their 14th loss in a row.
