And Travis Kelce/Swift

Second major faux pas in one series.

Pretty sure Marlins lead majors in comeback wins...over 40 on the year.

Bellinger you couldn’t trade with how he was carrying the team. Stroman is questionable…value was depressed from first two or so months when he looked extension-worthy.

Kyle Lewis isn't even on the Mariners anymore. Yikes.

If Stroman gets rocked tmrw...Cubs fans will be even more irate about holding onto Bellinger/Stroman. Although Marcus' value was way down, the odds of holding onto him at that point (or the desire on the part of the Cubs' FO) weren't looking all that promising. Still, nothing like the Ohtani situation or Padres holding onto both Snell and Hader.

Marcus Stroman vs. TBA tmrw for the Braves (make or break time) Luzardo vs. D. Peterson in NY

Baty/Vientos/Ortega up... It's going to take a miracle for this Miami pen to survive the next four games.

Oh, haven't been following that closely because we have classes this morning. Didn't realize what happened. De la Cruz picked him up. 4-2 Marlins have the tie-breaker over the Cubs with the 4-2 head to head record. Shades of 2020 again.

Burger has yet another chance to be a hero. Bases loaded, no outs, tie game. Gurriel pinch hit for him, AIYO....also a RH hitter who has been in a huge slump the last 4-6 weeks. FC/Error on Baty....3-2 Marlins, bases still loaded.

Cubs lose again in demoralizing fashion. Mets and Marlins tied 2-2 late....1st and 3rd, no outs for Miami Top 9. Cueto started and gave a much better performance than his ERA would have indicated. Now 2nd and 3rd. Bell/Burger/Chisholm up.

We can go back to 2016 and NOT trade Tatis for Shields again... Sox fans are missing entire decades of competitive baseball the time's flying by so quickly. Wouldn't expect a truly competitive team until at least 2026-27.

I like the collection of ideas we have so far.” “Watching these guys play [for Arizona], from our dugout over there, those guys were developed right. I’m glad he’s on our side,” said White Sox manager Pedro Grifol of Barfield. “Smart, articulate, well spoken, you can go on and on and on. I’m happy he’s on our team. I think Chris has done a really good job assembling a nice group around him that’s going to bring some different ideas.” Balta's going to have a field day with this one...

Yankees managed to play on Monday in the midst of a so called tropical storm due to their grounds crew. Could save the Cubs. Arraez out too.

DH today is going to kill the Marlins' pitching staff down the stretch. Going to have to hope for a split and Cubs' loss for a time with three to go. Already down 2-0 on an Alonso bomb.

Lol. You're right. But Elias like Hahn will be AL Executive of the Year running away because of that roster filled with youth and more still coming in the pipeline.

Thompson leading Sheets Perez Sosa Remillard and Colas in OPS. Yuck.

Crochet at 94-96. That won't work as a starter.

Then we better not hear about competing in 2024 ever again…

If he’s anywhere near Corey Seager and the White Sox are 90+ losses bad again…the fans will have to have something to look forward to. And good hitters destroy Charlotte. Just no point at all playing Andrus there and dumping Anderson for $1 million…especially when there is $29 million committed to Moncada and they’re going to ride that out to the end just like they did with Grandal.

Why not the Mets? Well, whether she could win with a $120 million payroll and KW doing a Hoyer Special like the Padres trading Burger/Rizzo to the Cubs for Cashner and then later taking a position with the team...we will see how that works out. Or maybe KW was just trying to screw over or block Hahn? We will probably never know.

Check the post right ahead of mine. Check Avisail Garcia and Jean Segura deals.

There's nobody to replace him. Sosa doesn't belong at SS. Just hold for 3-4 months and see where Montgomery and the first round draft pick are...they will eventually replace Yoan and Anderson.

Would be nice if Vaughn one year could put up Christian Walker-esque numbers. 33/106 with games left to play. Also, Twins closing in on 11 games over .500, was always going to take 85-86 or even 87 wins for the AL Central.
