    The argument against that is we need to add better arms to the pen for 24 and beyond. I would hope to hell we are also competing in 24, 25, and 26, in which Bednar would be a huge help. Of course we don’t do it for a rental closer like Chapman. This is just as much about the future as it is the present.

    Yea, I’m not sure how it went from a few of us saying we wouldn’t move Horton for a RP to this notion that we aren’t willing to move anyone. I personally like the idea of adding Bednar for 3.5 years. But not for Horton.
  3. KCCub
    No problem. I now know it auto adds “Rumor:” to the title lol.

    The team needs a spark. Very dull game from them so far.

    I have faith in our pitching infrastructure starting with Carter Hawkins on down. We absolutely couldn’t develop pitching years ago. I understand the point you are making and typically agree to take the big leaguer over a prospect. I personally think Horton is going to be special and I’m not moving him for Bednar/RP.
  6. KCCub
    I’m not moving Horton for Bednar. However, I do hope the Cubs are swimming in these types of waters of high end cost controlled talent.

    The Cubs have shown interest in Pirates' right-handed reliever, David Bednar. Bednar is a late-bloomer and has emerged as Pittsburgh's closer over the past two seasons, during which he has a 2.03 ERA in 93.1 innings pitched, while striking out 11.7 batters per nine innings. He will come at a costly price. Bednar is under arbitration through the conclusion of the 2026 season. He fits in with a longer-term play by Jed Hoyer but should the Cubs choose to go this route, expect the prospects going to Pittsburgh to be significant. Bednar would take a haul obviously with his 3.5 years of control. What type of package would it take? View full rumor

    If Happ needs a day off, I’m sitting him against a lefty. I’m not letting 32 PA in July dictate that. However, if the argument is we need all hands on deck today, then yea I can but into that. But if you’re sitting Happ, sitting him against a lefty has been the play for a better part of his career.
  10. KCCub
    I guess if you’re going to give him an off day it’s best to do it against a lefty.

    Looking ahead to that crucial game 1 of the Reds series. Stro vs Abbott wowzer. Then Steele vs Lively after the deadline. Going to be intense with a lot on the line.

    Lol I know. All aboard for this bumpy, but fun little ride.

    Is there a chance he's really good defensively at 3b?? 5 OAA in only 34 games started at 3b (39 total games played there).
  15. KCCub
    This is fun guys

    I thought for sure Walker was catching that by the way he was acting. Wasn't even close

    Happ loves Waino
  19. KCCub
    I’m afraid this will be true.
  20. KCCub
    Doesn’t get much better than the MLB trade deadline

    We need to jump on Waino early and give Jameson a cushion. Hoping he can give us 6 innings of 3 run ball.
  23. KCCub
    Hats off to Wesneski and Smyly. Things could have went bad for Wes after the leadoff homer, but he locked it in. Smyly coming in and pitching well. 10 K’s between the two of them.

    Buy everyone
