    It feels like Hoyer, by failing to properly round out this roster, is wasting several career years from the starting rotation. Cubs fans deserve better than what happened last night.

    A reminder that due to the win before an off-day, @Rex Buckingham is up again for the game thread.

    Absolute garbage.

    Helluva route by Fairchild there.

    Bob Nightengale (yes, I know) reported today that the Cubs have internally discussed pursuing the Blue Jays' star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Blue Jays could find themselves in a difficult position come July. While they're currently only two games out of the third Wild Card spot, they're also in last place in the American League East. The Jays' recent window of contention could be closing with several of their star position players entering free agency in the next year and a half while their MLB.com 24th-ranked farm system won't be providing much in the way of cost-controlled young talent in the immediate future. Guerrero Jr is back to raking (137 OPS+) after a mildly disappointing 2023 season. The 25-year-old slugger will become a free agent after the 2025 season. View full rumor

    I've been watching a lot of losing baseball lately. It's less fun than the other kind of baseball.

    Too of the fifth, just after the Morel AB.

    Pretty cool that @Matthew Trueblood got a shout-out on the broadcast in the top of the fifth!

    Back in the day, we Twins fans referred to him as RonDL. It fit.

    Win a damned game already.

    According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the White Sox are very open for business (despite it being early June) and are open to dealing oft-injured star outfielder Luis Robert Jr. Robert, who is signed through 2025 with two team options in 2026 and 2027, is scuffling a little this year (92 OPS+) but was stellar last season, posting a 5.0 rWAR season for the White Sox. The Cubs' offense in May was terrible, posting the 25th wRC+ in baseball. If Robert is healthy, he's likely going to hit better as the season progresses. What would it take to pry Robert away from the Southside? View full rumor

    @Rex Buckingham If you're around this morning you can take the game thread today.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, now that the Cubs can't beat up the White Sox, we'll see if their offense has turned the corner.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Whew. That was a close one last night. Damned near embarrassed themselves.

    I've been watching a lot of White Sox games lately (vs the Twins and Brewers) and if the Cubs don't win this game by 5+ runs, they should be ashamed of themselves. This Sox squad is one of the worst baseball teams I've ever seen, possibly on par with the 2003 Tigers.

    Today's game thread is @Rex Buckingham. If there is no thread up by 10:30 or so, jump ball.

    Cubs finally back in the win column yesterday and another matchup of surprisingly good young pitchers. I haven't paid attention to the Reds this season. With this cadre of young pitchers, why are they so far under .500?
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm taking the game thread today because I'm hosting my mother-in-law's birthday party today so if you believe in a deity, please pray for me. Also this is a really fun pitching matchup.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins are pretty exceptional at increasing pitcher velocity. I don't think they let go of Megill because of performance, I think they didn't like the guy. I vaguely remember him throwing a hissy over a demotion. Their mistake, obviously.

    Robert Murray of FanSided, appearing on the Baseball Insiders show, expressed skepticism that Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller will be traded before the deadline. Miller, who isn't even arbitration eligible until the 2026 season, cannot become a free agent until after the 2029 season. Murray also expressed the opinion that if Miller is made available, it will be difficult to offer more than the Baltimore Orioles, who have a stacked farm system and nowhere to put many of their farmhands in the coming years. Miller is still only 25 years old and has an incredible 17 strikeouts per nine innings as of this writing. View full rumor
