    I have a void and have been waiting for a Cub to replace my love for Schwarber. Right now, my current favorite player is probably Bobby Witt Jr. Absolute phenom. Favorite Cub, I would probably go with Steele. Love the passion and drive.

    Steele off again tonight. Hopefully he can get out of this and settle in.

    What are the O's doing? Imagine being an O's fan with the team they have and the farm, knowing the club needs a TORP to go all in this year and this is the deadline they come up with? Eflin and Rogers plus eating Eloy's salary when you have a thousand bats already.

    Yep, our public transportation is subpar. Everyone drives everywhere and tailgates for the games. One of the main concerns for a downtown ballpark is the streetcar will need to be expanded.

    I wouldn't sweat it. The Cubs will keep him under 60 if they desire. He was on a 60.5 appearance pace the last time he pitched. Skip him a few times for rest, or even an IL stint will have us comfortably in the clear.

    Marlins overall have done fantastic this deadline. Talk about restocking the farm.

    That is a nasty pen. Wow. Good luck to teams trying to catch them down the stretch.

    It's a nice stadium and it's fan friendly in terms of a large parking lot/tailgating. They're going to lose that aspect, which is big to KC folks. The area around is a shithole though and there's nothing to do outside of the stadiums. But the lease is up in 2030 and ownership has already announced they won't be renewing. It'll be downtown (The mockups have been nice) or they'll move to the Kansas side near the Legends area.

    Yep it's exciting. The new ownership is actually making an effort to build a competitive team plus they've been trying to push a downtown stadium. Fielding a solid product along with a star like BWJr will help with that.

    FYI on his no trade list -

    The SP market is crazy. Wish I was a fly on the wall to know what type of offers Jed has received for Taillon.
  16. KCCub
    With Leiter gone, Little injury, and Smyly gone after this season, Jed will need to target guys who can get lefties out next season. He's been reluctant to bring in a leverage lefty arm so far, we'll see if he changes that now.

    It's kind of shocking how quiet the Cubs can keep things from their end. Little to no leaks on a lot of their moves. No idea who all will be moved today.

    Nice catch Seiya

    Exactly! It was a smart move on the Cardinals part because they have a young cornerstone SS and a surplus of OFers. But Edman was the best player in the deal!
  23. KCCub
    I get what you're trying to say, but really those three aren't close to the three the Sox gave up. And each team is going to have different priorities on return (Near ready vs lotto tickets). Leiter at 2.5 years of control 1.3 fWAR this season (1.9 total counting last season) > Kopech 1.5 years of control -.2 fWAR this season (-1.1 counting last season) Tauchman (104 wRC+) 2.5 years of control vs 36 year old rental Pham (102 wRC+) And then Fedde vs Taillon. I'm not as high on Fedde as it appears most folks in the twitter world is. He was basically worth a little over 1 fWAR his previous 6 year big league stint. He did make changes after his year in the KBO and so far he's been solid (xERA 3.77, xFIP 3.96). Do I buy he's that guy again next year when he currently doesn't get a ton of whiffs or chase, no I really don't. Especially if you factor in a more bullish offensive environment next year. Part of me thinks they could of done a little better in their prospect haul, but also part of me thinks they just turned a short term project who they signed from the KBO into 5/6 years (I don't know how much control Vargas has since he's been up and down a few times) of Miguel Vargas and two ascending young prospects from the Dodgers farm who probably slot in close to the Sox top 10. Here's to hoping there's regression coming Fedde's way.

    We also don't know how much his fractured hand has impacted him this year.
  25. KCCub
    And you're going to see his defensive value jump back up when the Dodgers use him at SS fulltime. We can revisit next year, but I think there's a good chance the Cardinals gave up the player who ends up being the most valuable.
