Before we hail Jed a hero for getting Tyson Miller via trade, let’s not forget Jed DFA’d him in June 2021. Miller grew up on our farm.

"Hope he's enjoying the game. Not sure if it's looking up or down"
Ian happ should never have been signed, just need to get rid of him. He’s a AAA player.
I think he said I hope he's looking down not up today - a reference to what after life he would be in if he was looking at the game today.
You were saying? Happened again in the ninth. Cubs are awful in clutch situations. The “anti-clutch” of baseball this year.
Nico following up a walk with a fly-out on the first pitch in the 9th was infuriating, but not as infuriating as that pitiful Morel at-bat in the 8th. He needs a long break from playing. For a while he was hammering the ball right at people but he's just putrid right now.
Dammit you had me frustrated when I started to read that...
The way this season started I would have never imagined we'd be in last place in the NL Central and the Cards in 2nd although they are still 6.5 games back from Milwaukee. Time is running out to turn this season around and if current trends hold true the Cubs need to be sellers at the deadline and start calling up prospects that are knocking on the door and see who might be part of the long term future.
If they bring them up they need to play them. Not just situational.
Moises Ballestros is heading to Des Moines. Believed to have the highest ceiling and best overall bat in the organization but word is defensively he’s a nightmare.
Interesting thing is he’s a catcher and 1B. Wonder if the FO is pushing him up with a mindset of if we aren’t framing and throwing guys out and not hitting, let’s at least throw someone in there who can hit?
Either way, the promotion is kind of a surprise on my end. But undoubtedly well earned.

I'm really surprised.
He needs the time behind the plate because he's infinitely more valuable if he can stick even as an average defensive catcher. There's nothing wrong with letting him catch and just absolutely rake at Tennessee.
Jed is getting desperate and you can't allow him to rush development of these kids.
