Not surprised at all. They’ve made it clear they don’t want to tank and are fine with being an average non-contender and hoping something falls into their laps to make them a contender. I think they were legitimately trying to trade Zach but they’re gun shy for whatever reason. They probably also legitimately believe in the 14-9 record with Beverly and think that adding a PG with a pulse is enough to make them a good team.
-
Still 12-9 in our last 21! -
Such a shitty team
-
I’m pretty sure he leads all NL SS in WAR. From a hitting standpoint I’m a little disappointed in his power but overall he’s been pretty solid and I’m happy with his performance this year.
-
Also prevented hanging an L on Taillon for another shitty performance
-
Seiya 0 for his last 20 and has an OPS in the .400s since the start of June
-
Offense appears to be going into a slump again. Runs since London: 1 5 1 10 0 1 (so far)
-
Bulls applied for an injured player exemption for Lonzo. Not sure I understand why -It doesn’t give us relief from the luxury tax -we can’t apply for medical retirement this season, which would give us relief from the tax -The way the Bulls payroll is at, they can’t really use the exemption without going over the tax. Only thing I can think of is that they want the exemption to make a trade? I’m not even sure if that’s a thing
-
Guess Jared Young is not the defensive answer at first either. How hard is it to play the position?
-
Taillon season ERA now 7.18 after his 4 IP, 5 ER performance so far. Phantom DL his ass and figure it out. Wesneski can do better than a 7 ERA
-
Back to back hat tricks from Jesus. I know it’s St Kitts and T+T but impressive
-
This team is not fun more often than it’s fun
-
All announced by Stroman. Not sure if any other Cubs made it but we’ll find out in about 30 mins. Congrats! Also advocated for Nico, Adbert and Leiter Jr
-
With Taillon pitching tomorrow we’re looking at another potential series loss
-
Stroman putting on a defensive clinic in the 3rd edit: ugh but of course gives up 2 runs despite having 2 outs and no one on
-
A rundown on upcoming features

For some reason a ton of individual threads on the forum aren’t working for me including the 7/1 game thread. This is one of the few that does work. Any idea what’s going on? -
Heading into unsubtantiated rumors section of the offseason, but there's a twitter account called "DroppingDimes" that has been eerily accurate with rumors on the draft and FA so far this offseason, randomly tweeted "Zach LaVine" and about 5 minutes later deactivated his account lol. If you put stuff together, Dame has requested a trade and wants Miami, Portland is demanding star level player(s) in return, Miami is offering guys like Herro and Duncan Robinson, and suggestions are a 3rd team will need to be involved if he goes to Miami. Maybe POR: LaVine CHI: Herro, Robinson MIA: Dame Obviously with filler and picks and stuff. TBH I like Zach but I wouldn't mind shaking up the dynamic of the team. Not in love with a Herro and Robinson return though.

Whole lotto suckin’ (Blackhawks 2023 offseason)

Seems like a solid bottom 3 depth piece -
Last Cubs/Cardinals trade was in 2007 and was extremely minor (John Nelson to Cubs for PTBNL). Last trade of any consequence at all was 2002 with the Cubs sending Jeff Fassero to STL. Last trade of consequence anywhere near Goldschmidt would be the Cubs trading Bruce Sutter in 1980.
-
42% from 3 on 4 attempts per game. Not quite a sharp shooter but I'll take it. The Bulls have to be going over the tax at this point right? Edit: I guess they are still under and are still able to afford Ayo if he takes the QO
-
Somewhat close. Madrigal's was 98.2 and Tauchman's 93.8
-
Wait Madrigal homered? I'm actually not as surprised as I should be, he's actually been driving the ball fairly deep of late. It was only a matter of time. Wish he didn't use up his one home run of the season in a game we're now leading 9-0 but beggars can't be choosers.
-
And never play on Sunday. Wow I didn't realize that they were 11-2 on Fridays (if they win) and 2-11 on Sundays. What an odd team....they almost always give you a boost going into the weekend and then also kick you in the nuts when you are looking for a pick me up before work on Monday.
-
Petition for Steele and Stroman to pitch every game until their arms fall off. I realize there's player and manager voting and Steele still seems to be under the radar but I don't know you can leave him off the All Star team. Sorry in advance for jinxing him

Yeah I can't stand when GMs have a type. It's fine to have certain attributes you value more than others but I've seen stubborn GMs fail due to obsession with a type. AKME is having that same issue for the Bulls with tall athletic players who can't shoot for horsefeathers.
