I chose the top position players by fWAR, then the top starting pitchers also by fWAR. If there was an outstanding reliever in WPA, I also included them. Relievers don't get enough love, particularly non-closers. With that said, who is your 2025 first-half MVP?

If the Twins end up selling, Willi Castro is a really good get as a tenth man. His defense makes you squeamish up-the-middle but he can still hold a glove and play at the positions.

Nope, these are all great adds, thanks. I built out several of these for our sites over a couple of days and I was sure I missed some stuff.

I really have no interest in opening this line of discussion but it's not an opinion, it's the evidence supported by every field of study in science that overlaps with the climate. 97% of climate scientists state that climate change is real and human-made. https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/faq/do-scientists-agree-on-climate-change/

It's a rubber game! I just like saying that.

Welcome to NSBB!

Tough loss yesterday, hopefully Horton can keep rolling.

If the Cubs plan to retain Tucker’s services in 2026, what number do they need to offer?

Matthew Boyd is actually right-handed?

Every time I look, the Mariners have a worse record than they should. And George Kirby has an ERA of almost six?

I've spent a few hours revamping the offseason blueprint into something more usable for the trade deadline. I'm still working out the kinks, and possibly next year, I can launch a revamped dual-purpose blueprint page. Give it a whirl, and if you have suggestions on how to improve it, please post those ideas here! https://northsidebaseball.com/payroll-blueprint

Welcome to NSBB!

The Red Sox have outfielders coming out of their ass. While it's not impossible for them to pursue Tucker, they're going to have to shuffle a bunch of pieces to make it happen.

Anyone with a North Side Baseball account can participate and give their input on who you think should be in the Cubs' top prospects list. Before you vote, you can hit our top prospects page for the latest stats and news on Cubs prospects while on the voting page, every name is a clickable link that brings up their current stat card.

There's no great way to make something like this be as awesome on a phone screen. 5. Each prospect has a comment section where you can add any commentary you have on that player. At the bottom of the list, there is a general comment section to explain over-arching things you wish to mention. 6. Don't see a prospect you want to put on the list?
