  1. God, they were the best together.
  2. Check the back seat of your car for thick onion gravy.
  3. Did PSD die? Cool to see a bunch of new posters around here!
  4. What’s the deal with today’s broadcast? Do they have two sideline reporters today or is Elise Menaker in the booth?
  5. I like Steele a lot, but I love this as a thought exercise. I agree with O_O that it feels too early to pull the trigger given the current state of the rotation. But, in general, the Cubs’ group of top-end pitching prospects is more promising to me than their crop of hitting prospects, so I’m into this kind of deal to balance that out, and this lineup desperately needs a middle of the order slugger. But, ultimately, I’m worried what it would mean for the 2024 rotation. Taillon would be the only starter locked in heading into the off-season, and they’d be backed into a corner of needing to pick up Hendricks’ option before they could even begin to consider upgrades. Given they’re content to let Stroman hit the open market, I’d take the field over the Cubs in FA. You’d be counting on a best case scenario where multiple pitching prospects stay healthy and indicate they’re ready to join the big league rotation.
  6. Nick Madrigal is a low baseball IQ player with one tool that actually isn’t that strong of a tool. Also the Cubs don’t have 52 worthwhile prospects. Stop it.
  7. Nearly no one on this team should be considered “locked in” for 2024. Swanson, Hoerner, and Steele is probably about it. That doesn’t mean the roster needs to be turned over aside from those three, but if there’s an opportunity to improve on current production, it should be done.
  8. So he’s a 25-y.o. COF/1B (and if we’re to believe Suzuki and Happ have the corner OF spots on like for next year as Matt suggests above—a commitment I believe would be a mistake—then he’d be penciled in at 1B) who’s had nagging wrist injuries that have limited him to one full season of PAs over 2.5 seasons and has shown mediocre power at best when he has been able to get on the field. I don’t see the appeal.
  9. My brain stupidly translated the Braves logo to A’s, and somehow I still got 2/3 in the top row. Couldn’t for the life of me figure out why Rickey Henderson or Giambi weren’t being accepted for .300 hitter.
  10. The 2024 Cubs have Steele, Taillon, and Wesneski as under-contract rotation options before factoring in any prospects with no MLB experience. They have a lot of work to do on the rotation if they have aspirations of competing next year. I lean toward the idea that maintaining that 2024 option heading into the off-season is more valuable than the prospect return he’d net.
  11. I think it has to be. .150/.247/.316 going back to April 20. After that hot stretch to open the season, he’s been a total negative.
  12. He did reel it in a bit later in the year. Small sample size, but for the first 55 games he averaged 4.7 3PA per game; after that, 3.3. I can live with that volume if he can carry that over to next year.
  13. I don’t think the talent on the Brewers roster supports this opinion. Their lineup stinks.
  14. It’s crazy how quickly starting pitching has become a strength of the farm system. Adding Brown, Wesneski, Horton and Ferris over the past twelve months is quite the infusion of talent.
