  1. Bob Nightengale (yes, I know) of The USA Today recently wrote that Cody Bellinger "Is Fully Expected" to remain with the Chicago Cubs in 2025. Bellinger, one of the infamous "Boras Four" last offseason, found the free agent market not to his liking and signed a three-year, $80 million contract late in the offseason. The contract includes opt-outs after each season. Bellinger, while still a very productive player somehow still under the age of 30, has seen his performance dip this season. After a wildly successful 2023 campaign that saw his OPS+ skyrocket back up to 138, it has drifted back down to 115 this season. The question for Bellinger is whether he wants to maximize overall dollars in a single contract or remain with the Cubs at a higher yearly rate. He is owed $27.5 million in 2025 and $25 million in 2026. It's unlikely any long-term contract he signs this offseason will approach those numbers on an AAV basis. View full rumor

  3. Denver is a great city. I'm a fan. They deserve better than the Rockies, the least interesting team in baseball pretty much every year.
  4. FanGraphs has BsR. If you flip over to the advanced tab, they also have UBR. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2024&month=0&season1=2024&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=&age=&filter=&players=0
  5. I was going to start watching this game an hour and a half ago but saw the 5-2 score and did something else. Looks like the Cubs have a little fight in them tonight.
  6. Awesome, get done with the Yankees and immediately travel to face the Dodgers.
  7. I have to give this team credit, they're making the run-up to the end of the season interesting.
  8. I have to give this team some credit, they're trying their best to keep things interesting as we head into September.
