    Ben Badler Cubs 2020-21 International Review: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-21-mlb-international-reviews-chicago-cubs/ Top Of The Class: Cristian Hernandez, SS, Dominican Republic - Enormous offensive upside considered the best player available by many scouts. Excellent bat speed, performed well in games and has improved speed, athleticism and defense in the last year making it more likely he'll stay at SS. Moises Ballesteros, C, Venezuela - good bat control/contact skills and plate discipline but needs to stay on top of his conditioning Names To Know: Daniel Ferreira, OF, Dominican Republic - good bat speed Gabriel Agrazal, RHP, Panama - athletic strike-thrower in the mid-to-upper 80s who changes speeds well Oferman Hernandez, OF, Dominican Republic - corner OFer with a chance to hit for power Pedro Ramirez, SS, Venezuela - athletic SS with plus-plus speed Raino Coran, OF, Curacao - athletic, physical OF Kenneddy Delgado, RHP, Venezuela - mid-90s velocity Sleeper Watch: Joel Sierra, RHP, Dominican Republic - been up to 97

    They’re unlikely to get an all-star player with pick 7 or whatever those two picks would be if they didn’t make the trade, the picks are still top-4 protected and they needed to do something to help ensure Lavine re-signs. I’m sure they tried to get a PG (that’s where all the rumors were) but it takes two to tango. Hopefully they can address it in the offseason.

    Just got home. Good Lord! 39 in the 1st half? Two fewer points than Wilt had in the 1st half of his 100 point game. Jimmy Butler with the team record of 40 in a half? 25 straight Bulls points at one point too. Guess his ankle is better.

    Confirmed: Bertz, I’m with you. I hope the Cubs take him if he makes a Buehler-like fall.

    It really wasn’t but I’m just glad it wasn’t the Aaron Rodgers-looking mustachioed weirdo.

    Couldn't watch - did Zach look healthy or should he be sitting games they're unlikely to win anyways?

    You really think you could get a top 5 pick for Vucevic? 5 worst records in basketball are Minnesota, Houston, Detroit, Orlando, Cleveland. Which one of them is in position to trade their pick for a 31 year old center? I don't disagree he has value but if Vuc is trading its to a team that is farther along in their rebuild process. I was assuming 1+ teams will win the lottery and jump up into the top 4. Or perhaps a 3 way trade. Of course I don’t expect, or even think it’s possible, that he gets traded this offseason. Just kind of saying that Vuc’s value to me is still higher than a 2021 non top 5 pick and a 2023 FRP. He has 2 years FAR below market value after this year. Edit: Minnesota’s pick goes to GSW if it falls out of the top 3 as well. Though I’m sure GSW would rather just keep Wiseman and draft Kuminga/Green than trade for Vuc. Heck, all that said, the Bulls pick is lotto protected too.
