Condon just tied Burns' signing bonus record. -
Ugggggggggggggh. I get that Wicks will be eligible to return this season, but I was hoping for good news for him coming out of the All Star Break.

Chase Burns breaks Paul Skenes' bonus record.

There's nothing historic or otherwise noteworthy about these buildings. Moreover, places across the globe have zero issue with knocking over buildings that are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. Blow 'em up.

Nah. That's Kenny Powers: The Early Years.

Catcher development is really horsefeathers weird. If you look back on guys like Geo Soto, Welly Castillo, Willson Contreras, and even Miguel Amaya, all of those guys were kinda middling prospects who bounced around the minors without much hype until they unexpectedly broke out. All this is to say, I've learned to take reports on Cubs catchers in the minors with a grain of salt, and I don't think it would be a good idea to give up on Amaya just yet.

We got Lovich. Yay!

Yankees just popped Mack Estrada.

There was speculation based on a Cubs' area scout's Twitter that the Cubs may have interest in a handful of HS guys who are still available: RHP Carson Wiggins (Jaxon's brother), RHP/1B Eli Buxton, LHP Alex Grant, and OF Eli Lovich. Wiggins is the highest rated of that group, as some of us wanted him with the Cubs' 2nd round pick, although my guess is the Cubs will have trouble meeting his asking price.

MLB.com's Day 3 Overview
-
They were picking mid-round without any extra picks in what has generally been seen as a mediocre draft overall. I didn't come into today with high hopes, but I actually didn't mind that they targeted EVs and swing speed guys, since this system hasn't exactly been great at churning out power bats, It's possible they pop someone like Wiggins or Franco tomorrow to spice things up, but we'll see.
-
Aw, the Cubs wanted to make sure Gallagher had a friend in the system.
-
Nah, that's Cobb Hightower. He comes from the family that lives at the tallest point of the Shire.

Fenwick Trimble sounds like the name of the villain in a teen rom-com about an evil corporation trying to shut down a beloved ski resort in small town Colorado.
-
I agree whole-heartedly; getting him and Tibbs would be a fantastic outcome for a team with only one pick in the Top 100. I'm just curious to see how they make it work.
-
Dakota Jordan to SF. They didn't have any picks between 13 and now, so, uh, good luck signing him I guess.
-
/Looks at list Ronny Cruz. I got nothing.
-
There goes Sirota to Cincy.

Jonathan Mayo on Draft Day 2, and What to Expect
-
So what do we think, slot for Cam Smith and ~200k underslot for Mathis? Curious to see who makes it to the third round. Carson Wiggins is still on the board, along with Dax Whitney.
-
I (kinda) get it. LSU has a fantastic program with a long track record, plus the NIL money will offset any immediate losses if he's not getting Top 20 money. Not saying I agree, but I understand.
-
Guess they're over the hump. If this game were in May or June, the winning run would be at the plate right now.
-
Huh.
-
Le sigh.
-
I...what? What the hell is all of this?
