He's toast. Fried. This will be moved quickly to MLB catch all section. Padres circling Benintendi already. Trayce Thompson or Mazara not real answers.

This in an interesting read....Sox mentions too. https://www.espn.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/9074787/suburbs-not-option-chicago-cubs-move

I meant more operationally, postseason success and attendance/stadium. Obviously not a major market. Cardinals or Giants are closer...but they will never be top 5-6 under JR. Padres now as well in that group. Peak was #7-8 around 2006. But they should never be outside Top 12 if run well.

Let's aspire to be more than the Mariners of the Midwest. Brewers at the VERY least.

Poor Ron. He should get likes for boosting Abreu's trade value. Surprised no Abreu isn't clutch thread yet in the last 12 hours.

Dunning...oops. lol Quintana doesn't count. Floyd/Danks external. Ages. And ages. Hector Santiago?

Monopoly/oligopoly of likes. Conspiracy. You need a blue check mark and insider status, Ron.

That's ridiculous to worry about 2025-26 over 2022-23. He's not some consensus Top 50-100 guy. Montgomery definitely might hesitate...SS is most expensive position to go externally.

What are the betting odds? Don't feel too confident going against Manoah on turf.

I would ask for more than Sheets as the Pirates. Probably Colas or Vera to start with...might not get it of course. Never hurts to ask. Brayan Ramos...although they are building franchise around Hayes. Kelley as second piece...change of scenery guy.

The value is definitely trending in the wrong direction...if they miss the postseason. That said, new tv contract renegotiation in another 2-3 years so not in self interest to burn down all the way without changing the manager and GM first.

He had a lot bigger expectations when he debuted for Boston. Not nearly the pressure outside NYC BOS Philly.

Play with Harrison that almost cost game?

Or the Braves...Liberty Media.

First career leadoff homer. 47 to catch Springer and Kinsler lol. Jays on 10-3 streak and not yet hitting on all cylinders...especially on offense.

Kopech at only 93? Well that didn't last long. Dead arm period? First homer of the season off Kopech FB.

Seems there a lots of concerns about Ryu's health on the TOR side.

What would that OPS end up as lol? 30-35 homers over 600 abs hitting a dinger every 18 ab's but a woeful average.

Hopefully Skubal can hold down Twins fielding a lineup without Buxton/Correa/Arraez/Kepler against a LHP.

Pollock homer only possible due to rest day. Breaks woeful 1-17 slide.

But his offensive numbers before last night have been historically awful...well not as bad as Grandal/Dunn, but that definitely gets exposed over a long long season.

Getaway day always a B lineup, lol.

Feels like 2018 all over again...throw in a K watch too.

Royals not leading in either of their WS seasons. But then leading the Indians in 2016, who eventually went on to face the Cubs and Heyward's motivational speech.

Imagine if we severely overpaid to get back Q to replace the $18 million Keuchel lol? He's entering today with a 2.18 ERA. Hahn just won't or can't go there, right?
