Great play by Tauchman? Looked pretty ordinary...

Montgomery is so slow to get started by really picks up ground late with those long strides.

273/848 for Montgomery 4/16 More Vaughn bombs against the Cubs

And if the White Sox tried to trade him this week, they would still need to include another $12-15 million…at a minimum.

Smith must be the lowest rated of the Top 9 picks from last year…Schultz will start falling back soon. And Teel off the board entirely.

Nothing to see here. More aimed at Dirks and Simmons.

Fedde to the Braves...

https://www.mlb.com/news/seth-lugo-royals-contract-extension At least KC is acting like they have a plan. Detroit has just this season and next with Skubal.

Beal was the real killer...

So much for the bullpen being better...

Yeah, Dominguez the only other possibility because he's a Yankee.

Looks like there might be rain late in this one...

"The New York Mets traded Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Chicago Cubs in 2021 for Javier Báez and Trevor Williams, a move that has since been heavily scrutinized as Crow-Armstrong emerges as a star player." ouch...was reading an article recently on Cohen/Stearns wanting to avoid that mistake this time around at TDL

92 mph ev perfect for the Cubs there.

Ouch. Getting another early lead would have been huge there.

Or Scotty Pods.

White Sox will be over 18,000 per game after this Cubs' series...with roughly 30 home games left to go. Last year, finished at around 17,900. Same finish at 27th likely unless they could catch Pittsburgh somehow. Pretty big jump to KC and Minnesota from there. But attendance seems to have stabilized. Of course, two teams below are the Marlins and two teams playing in minor league facilities.

B.Montgomery at 11 homers 55 rbi's 811 ops and 11 steals in 300+ at bats overall.

but the Sox got Montgomery... https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=moore-008chr Angels' strategy of pushing their guys so fast not always paying off, but they have no right to be anywhere close to .500 if you look at that team objectively

Kurtz got off to a REALLY slow start and now he's catching teammate Jacob Wilson for RoY...

yahoo sports trade speculation Padres acquire OF Luis Robert Jr. from White Sox for LHP Boston Bateman, OF Kavares Tears The 28-year-old Robert has largely been a mess at the plate since his 38-home-run, All-Star season in 2023, but he still offers more upside than most position players available at this year’s deadline, and he has been playing much better over the past month. At worst, he’s a super streaky bat with a plus glove in center field who can make an impact on the basepaths. But if he’s starting to stabilize offensively into something more reliable, we’re talking about a game-changing talent

Well he was totally awful and got banished to the minors even…

Is this the longest game thread since Opening Day?

He might fit in better in Japan...credit to McGuire for hanging in there, though.
