    Yea, I think the optimistic timeline is May. However, this was his second major elbow surgery and if the Cubs land a controlled starter like Gore, etc, they may choose to be more cautious with Steele’s timetable.

    I’ve got my hopes up for Gore guys. I’m prepared to be disappointed.

    Yea I think they are only moving Lugo if they are blown away at this point. The recent chatter around town is that they may prefer to work out an extension with him and keep their starting staff together for 2026. Could just be “GM speak” but I wouldn’t be shocked if they hang onto him.

    Royals small buyers so far. We’ll see if they do a buy and sell deadline or end up hanging onto Lugo/Estevez

    Yankees #8 and #21 prospects (pipeline).

    I think a lot of us are huge Wiggins fans and believe he shouldn't be moved unless your landing one of the big controlled fish. Lance seems to support this alluding to his trade value being near or higher than ONKC's, at least to some orgs.

    Would love Bubic but he was always a long shot. Maybe Lugo doesn't leave town?

    I think the Yankees will take care of this for us. Brewers will be more savvy and probably go the 2023 route where they grabbed the likes of Canha and Santana.

    Sigh I’m stuck listening to Rex Hudler for three games
  13. KCCub
    Yep -

    That's easier said than done. His options were leave Thielbar in to face righty, lefty, righty (Remember they had Bregman on the bench ready to PH), Pomeranz (See Thielbar) + he gave up 3 runs, Roberts (2 hits and a run), Braiser on back to back, Flexen starting today, and they're not going Kriske in leverage. If you go Keller in the 7th on back to back nights, Pressly is pitching the 8th. Damned if you do damned if you don't.
  15. KCCub
    Yep this is true. They also have a plethora of depth options though. Cortes will be back within a week or so, have Henderson and Chad Patrick waiting in the wings, etc. Just rich with solid arms.
  16. KCCub
    The lack of power arms isn't CC's fault...

    2015 wRC+ Hosmer 124 Cain 128 Moose 123 FWIW - Morales was the Royals best hitter in 2015. Zobrist was obviously a huge deadline acquisition. If they had the lead going into the 7th, the game was over Herrera - Wade Davis - Holland.

    Couple general thoughts: Cubs are really horsefeathers good Cubs do have holes and said holes will be discussed heavily until the TDL (Hopefully not much after) In no way should any Cubs fan be "scared" of the Brewers However, Brewers have won the division 3 out of the last 4 seasons and they aren't going to go away simply because of an average lineup (I wouldn't be shocked if WC hits closer to his norms the second half) How horsefeathers fun would this lineup be if we landed Bregman?

    “Here's how it works: Each batted ball is assigned an xBA based on how often similar batted balls, categorized by exit velocity, launch angle, and since 2019, Sprint Speed for certain instances, have historically resulted in hits since Statcast's league-wide implementation in 2015. For example, a batted ball with a particular exit velocity and launch angle that has historically resulted in a hit 70% of the time will have an xBA of .700. A player's seasonal xBA is calculated by totaling the xBA of each batted ball event and including actual strikeout numbers. This means Statcast's xBA evaluates a player's performance based on the quality of their contact, using historical data to estimate the probability of each batted ball becoming a hit.”

    Nope
  21. KCCub
    Does he make it past Breslow??
  22. KCCub
    Yankees are the best in the league against LHP. Which makes what Boyd did yesterday that much more impressive
  23. KCCub
    Some rumors from Nightengale - Last two bullets if you can’t see: • Orioles to make Zach Eflin available; Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano also expected to be traded barring dramatic winning streak • Rays listening to offers for Taj Bradley

    Fun playoff caliber matchup. The matchup doesn't get any tougher than this for Boyd and Shota.
