    There's absolutely a narrow path that I would be for the Cubs taking a risk on Skubal. So many factors in play though that it's tough to answer that question right now.

    There goes the Skubal TDL dream (Or does it?)

    That’s what I was thinking. I’m slightly confused on the verbiage I’m seeing reported. The report above is the most detailed and sounds like it came directly from CC. Taylor reported “full TJ”, so I originally thought it wasn’t the brace surgery.

    Do they stick Brown as the closer or is it just committee/matchups at this point?

    Yea, that’s my preferred setup at the top. I was hoping CC would stick with Nico at leadoff moving forwards and I just really like Busch in the 2 hole.

    Bregman is pretty slow isn't he

    Calling it now, we're going to have a juiced ball season.

    Looks like Chourio has a broken hand.... Also, here's a nifty site for all you fantasy baseball savants. (Take a peep at Wrigley today) https://www.ballparkpal.com/Park-Factors.php

    He did the same in 23. Touching 97 multiple times with a big K against Alonso I believe. I got way too excited for him after that.

    CC said at the winter meetings the plan is for Busch to start against lefties in 2026. They obviously still need a plan in place for injury, struggles, etc, but the hope is Busch no longer needs a full time platoon partner.

    Glad we didn't end up trading for Pablo Lopez

    I get wanting to have a near playoff ready roster day 1, but IMO there's more value in giving Mo runway at DH vs blocking him with someone who at most is going to be marginally better. If at the TDL he has a 115 wRC+, great, you don't need a LH hitting DH. If he struggles, make a move for a platoon bat (they're a dime a dozen) and send Mo down to work on the what they've learned about him facing big league pitching.

    Conrad looking like a tank

    Ended up being two Comp B picks according to Passan - Cijntje is #91 on pipeline. 2024 15th overall pick.

    Seems like this is the full trade -

    Another 2b off the board for the Red Sox

    Here's the Cots spreadsheet for anyone who wants to bookmark it - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1epJfx2VlkhWd--kaoTLWkYHD2OEetroV73Us1pbefGM/edit?gid=1520401900#gid=1520401900

    Personally, I think they are pretty damn good. That lineup is deep. Visual here looking at this years projections vs last season (Alonso hadn't signed when the projections were released last season, he was projected at 3 fWAR) Last season: Fangraphs has Robert Jr batting 8th and Benge, who is a top 20 overall prospect batting 9th. I like letting him find his footing with no pressure and there will also be no pressure on Robert Jr (We'll see if he stays healthy). SP looks much better on paper along with their BP appearing improved.

    Mets are going to be tough. Their lineup is stacked and now some much needed pitching help.

    I'm a McClanahan fanboy so I do that in an absolute heartbeat if he's on the table. I then try to risk it and extend him in hopes his injury history nets you 5 or so years at a lower AAV than he would get once he's proven to be fully healthy. The other part of this is you absolutely have to get an extension done with Nico if Shaw is gone. Having a bench super utility guy is a nice luxury this season, but it's way down my list of priorities.
