    I know the narrative is the cubs are beating bad teams. And overall record wise they are. But the Cardinals had won 5 straight prior to coming to Chicago. Made it 6 in a row then the cubs took the next 3. After that the cardinals went to the desert and won another series. They have been playing well. And the Sox are always going to give the cubs their best. Simple fact is, they Cubs are playing well, period. And they have handled a hit Cardinals team 5 out of 6. You can’t always just look at overall records when determine if a series should be easy or not. As an example the Reds handled the dbacks. That seems impressive until you go back and look at the dbacks last 20 games. They are terrible now. Right now beating the cardinals is more impressive than beating the dbacks.

    I am ok with improving in the margins rather then dealing higher end prospects for rentals. Now, if they wanted to trade for guys with years of control left like a Cease or Keller or a few other bats that are available, I am fine with giving up a bit more and making a bigger splash. I don’t want to see Brown, or better, go for a guy they lose in 2 months. I don’t think they should sell. IMO they need to at least try to win this year. I also think doing so helps their small chance at Ohtani. I think he wants to win. I know in the end money will talk. If if all is equal I think he leans to winning. Dumping now is not a good look.

    Alzolay has pitched in back to back games before. I wouldn’t assume he is down today. He might be. But I don’t think it is a guarantee he won’t be used.

    The guy traded wasn’t listed because he was in their complex league. He is 18 and a large priced international guy. I think they signed him for over $1M. He isn’t Strumpf.

    They need to go 7-2 to the deadline be hopefully gain 2 or 3 games on the leaders to not sell at the absolute end of the deadline.
