    Just thinking beyond this year and the rotation - I think this deadline I focus on the 2027 rotation while still winning in 2026. Meaning I’m not taking a rental arm, I want a young guy with control. Skubal ($40M) King ($25M?) New Acquisition (pre-arb?) Cabrera (Arb) Steele (Arb) Brown (Arb)...

    Worth mentioning Pedro Ramirez did just log a game in LF. I’ve seen some speculation there’s a good chance he plays a good amount of innings next year in a corner.

    Bregman is less depressing. In 11 plate appearances in which there was a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, Alex Bregman is also hitting .111 but with only 2 strikeouts, which has led to him having the same amount of RBI's in that scenario as Seiya and Happ, combined.

    In 11 plate appearance this season in which there was a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, Seiya Suzuki is hitting .111 (1-9) with 6 strikeouts.

    In 17 plate appearances this season in which there was a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, Ian Happ is hitting .071 (1-14) with 9 strikeouts. It's hard for me to believe there is a worse guy in the league, possibly in our own farm system, at scoring a run in that situation. Dude is a *******...

    To whomever was mad I said Jamos contract isn’t going to age well. His 6.39 xFIP is a full run worse than any other qualified pitcher in the league. He’s going to have good games. He’s also going to single handedly take you out of games often.

    Really believed Brown was best suited as a reliever. But if this sinker allows him to be a reliable starter, opens the door again for you to focus on high paid talent over depth next offseason when replacing Shota, Taillon, and Boyd There's some speculation out there that Wiggins might be...

    It would be incredibly rare and expensive to see a trade for a meaningful piece so I wouldn’t expect it. Name I’m seeing the most right now is Bubic.

    Philosophically where I align, and have been this way for years, is that the Cubs should ALWAYS have a paid true Ace and a paid #2, spending $60-70M on both arms. Every other starter should be a team and cost controlled arm. 3-5 years ago, the Cubs were not in a position to do this due to poor...

    WBB: Coach Schaben moving on

    Just so ******* weird everyone knew this was coming and we’re waiting until after the portal to make coaching changes. I don’t even know how you recruit with that - do you tell the players that other people will be coaching? It’s that or you are blatantly lying to your recruits that you’ll be...

    ***WBB: 2026 Recruiting Thread***

    Team gives vibes we’re going a bit old school for Bill this year with only one center and that center being incredibly height deficient.

    WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

    CW said on the latest pod that he expects to have quite a few Europeans join the roster over the course of the next couple of weeks. We already have an Australian, Canadian, a Dane, and a Nigerian. Is there a reason we’re going so strong on the foreign market?

    That 10 game steak given what we currently have for pitching feels good. Man I’m excited to get everyone healthy again.
