IT'S YOUR FAULT Actually, I was seeing the same thing. I cleared some caches and now everything is fine for me. You? -
I think you're the second to have this problem with that same Imanaga piece. Very strange, I've never seen anything like this before. I'll look into it and just hide this one piece if need be.

Hoyer Pumps Brakes on Christopher Morel Trade Rumors
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If Morel's value is that low - and it might be - the Cubs could be better off dealing from their farm and keeping Morel as a role player. -
Yankees Considered Favorites To Sign Marcus Stroman
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It all depends on which version of Stroman shows up but he doesn't have much room for error being a right-handed pitcher in that stadium. -
At Cubs Con over the weekend, it feels like two of the most talked-about players were not in attendance: Cody Bellinger and Christopher Morel. Bellinger, while still a free agent, was expected to be a point of conversation. Morel, on the other hand, has been involved in more trade rumors this weekend than you can shake a stick at and he was unable to attend the convention to due to visa issues. Patrick Mooney of The Athletic wrote up this substantive piece about Morel over the weekend. Morel has often found himself position-less in recent years and that problem is only magnified with the recent addition of Michael Busch. Morel is still only 24 years old and given his offensive output (110 OPS+ in 854 plate appearances), it's hard to envision the Cubs walking away from the depth he provides unless the offer is substantial. -

A topic keeps getting unmarked as read
Brock Beauchamp replied to Andy's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
Anyone else have this issue? I've never seen it pop up for me, though I don't use the discover page often. -
So it turns out that our master server is getting hammered by bots. If you're unfortunate enough to be allocated to that server, that's why you're seeing site slowness. We're working on it and hope to have it resolved by tomorrow.

Yankees Considered Favorites To Sign Marcus Stroman
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Two years, $37m with a 2026 vesting option for $18m. Not a bad deal, all considered. -
Okay, it turns out I was on the right path. One of our server instances (of four) was pegged at 99% CPU usage. We've added more instances (now six) and told the offending server to stop being naughty. Let me know if things are still slow in an hour. It takes a little time to spool up the new instances and properly redistribute users across them.
-
Be careful, they're petty af over there. 😁
-
I'm getting reports of slow load times across all three sites. We're looking into it, I think one of our server instances (we run 3-4) is really slow right now.

Jon Morosi has reported the Yankees and Marcus Stroman have had "productive conversations", leading to him speculating the elder New York club is the most likely to sign the 32-year-old righty. Stroman opted out of his contract with the Cubs at the conclusion of the 2023 season, hoping to build upon the $21 million he was set to earn in Chicago in 2024. With the Cubs agreeing to terms with Shota Imanaga on Tuesday, their immediate need for help at the top (or mid, depending how you view Imanaga) has lessened but there are still question marks surrounding the North Siders' rotation, which would be helped enormously with the return of Stroman. -

Article: Matt Mervis Made Changes...But is He Better?
Brock Beauchamp replied to Jason Ross's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
By the way, expect to see a lot more deep-dive stuff like this. We're trialing TruMedia's data service program and so far, I am beyond impressed with what people are doing with it across our three sites. Really excellent work, @1908_Cubs! -
Shota Imanaga's signing deadline is a little over 48 hours away (5pm Eastern, January 11th) and teams are dropping out of the bidding, according to Jon Heyman. Imanaga, 30 years old, has been rumored to receive upwards of $100 million but teams have balked at that price point, possibly due to physical concerns. According to Heyman, the Cubs and Red Sox are still in play and possibly the leaders to sign the veteran left-hander. -

Shota Imanaga remains unsigned but his posting deadline now looms. The Japanese lefty needs to sign by 5pm Eastern Time on Thursday, January 11th. The Cubs have been linked to Imanaga in several reports, along with the San Francisco Giants. What is causing the delay? While it's somewhat unclear, there have been rumblings that teams are wary of the 30 year old's medicals, possibly his shoulder. Once assumed to be a near-lock for a $100 million deal, with the deadline approaching and no solid rumors linking him to specific teams, how much Imanaga will sign for and where is up in the air.

Houston outspends the Cubs by a lot, though. The past three years the Astros have outspent the Cubs by $50m, $32m, and $49m.

WSI is definitely not the vibe we’re striving toward, that’s for sure. But your point at large is valid in the sense that if a person’s general demeanor is contrarian to the community, that person may not be a good fit. We’ve had to ban a few people over the years not because they were breaking rules but because they kept banging drums negatively against the community and in favor of another organization. It will shock absolutely no one here that one prominent example was a Cardinals fan, though you might be surprised to learn they were banned from Twins Daily, of all places. They were banned under the newly-placed rule I created just for them, the “dude, just shut the **** up already” clause.
