Ol’ Cohen seems pretty jazzed about it. I can’t think who else it might be about. 🤔

Stolen from us

Cohen for pope?

I already posted about the McGough signing.

Tucker to Mets confirmed.

I know but the song will be a little weird if they do move there lol. I think they'll stay in Chicago ultimately. They'll figure it out. I have no information to make that up other than it's my gut.

This is an article I found while researching something else about how MLB allowed non-affiliated minor league clubs to participate in the amateur draft. Only 4 teams did in about 25 years.

They'll still be the Chicago Bears if they play in Northwest Indiana. It's only a name after all.

Gardening is tough, and the ladies at the retirement center had a couple of years on him.

"Bear down, Chicago Bears. You're the pride and joy of...Indiana..."

This is interesting. I always thought if he could secure a minor league contract with like Boston or Houston that he might do well, or uh, at least better than in the past, in their major league parks because of the Crawford boxes and the monster. At any rate, I wish Eh-loy the best.

His transaction history shows he retired May 2, 2025 and was released September 23, 2025.

Yeah I dont get how the Sox dont have his rights.

Trey Mcgough (Eloy trade) decided he doesn’t want to be retired anymore and signed with the Mets.

If he retired while still under contract, wouldn’t he still be under Sox control?

The guy we traded Eloy for who then retired

Now the Cubs can trade Matt Shaw, they have his replacement

Stiwarts Valdez is a Dominican center fielder who is 6-foot-4, 200 pounds with a standout combination of size, righthanded power and speed. He’s a plus or better runner underway with big bat speed and power for his age. He’s an aggressive hitter who will expand the zone and there isn’t a lot of rhythm to his swing, but it’s potential plus to plus-plus raw power and he has shown the ability to tap into his power against live pitching, making him a potential power/speed threat if everything clicks. Franchel Crisostomo is a Dominican righthander who is 6-foot-2, 165 pounds, a loose, limber build with significant physical upside to add to a fastball that has already been up to 93 mph. He throws his changeup with more frequency than most amateur pitchers his age in the Dominican Republic Yordany Marte, signing for $275,000, had been an outfielder until last year when he converted to pitching. His athleticism shows on the mound and he has a quick arm to run his fastball up to 92 mph, but his best pitch is his curveball, a high-spin pitch with good shape and depth that should collect a lot of whiffs. Dominican shortstop Felix Lebron is a quick-burst athlete at 6 feet, 175 pounds with plus speed, good hands, body control and a plus arm to go with a quick swing from the right side of the plate.
