Ten years ago the 2013 Red Sox combined a handful of homegrown players with savvy 1-2 year deals. It was a team that didn’t enter the year as a juggernaut, but they were the perfect storm of talent and chemistry. Yes it’s outlandish, but the 2023 Cubs are giving me those vibes.

I can’t shake the feeling that a Nick Madrigal for Jarred Kelenic deal makes sense for the Cubs/Mariners.

The recent Cubs/Guardians Clase rumor is interesting. I buy that it’s legit to an extent. But these deals are difficult to execute. So I wonder if there isn’t a happy medium where the CHC and CLE get together to swap an everyday hitter for a controllable BP arm. Let’s 🧵

Telling other teams publicly that you won’t be spending on a specific player is 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 called out in the CBA. Reinsdorf should be fined. This is completely inappropriate for a team owner to say this.

Jerry Reinsdorf plans to spend in free agency this offseason to improve the White Sox while also pointing out they spent a fair deal with a payroll of around $185 million in 2023. "We're not going to be in any (Shohei) Ohtani race, I'll tell you that," Reinsdorf said.

Trey Mancini is a warrior. He battled and beat colon cancer. He also adds some pop. Happy the Cubs added him according to reports.

Matt Shaw is giving me Jordan Wicks vibes. He’s a damn good player and should have gone higher. Cubs benefitted from that.

In the last year we’ve seen Keegan Thompson and Justin Steele move from key multi-inning relievers to rotation mainstays, the Cubs bring in Kilian and Wicks and upgrade their repertoires, and make trades to have Kilian, Wicks, Herz, Wesneski, and Brown all at AA/AAA.

Dang it’s really time to give another SP the chance and move Smyly to the pen. He started the season well but let him cover middle innings in shorter stints and in better matchups.

If SFG were willing to give Correa the same total salary ($360m) as they offered Judge, but over 10 yrs, that's $36m/yr. But California and SF local taxes knock that down significantly. Just saying a Cubs offer of 10/$330m (beating Seager's) is $33m/yr in IL and a better offer.

This means no offense to the great state of Iowa, but Nelson Velazquez doesn’t want to be in Des Moines anymore.

The Effross trade was shocking, but I can't deny the Cubs brought back a heck of a prospect in return. Wesneski is close to big league ready and has the potential to be a SP. He throws some serious filth primarily lead by a ridiculous sweeper slider. His fastball sits in mid 90s

For the first time in awhile that felt like a playoff series at Wrigley. We’ll see how the season ultimately turns out but that was the most excited I’ve been for a series since 2019. Cubs and the front office deserve a lot of credit for forcing the issue and seeing it through.

Locking up both Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki for several years wouldn’t block any specific corner outfield prospect, but it does allow the Cubs to look into trades where they move valuable near-ready outfielders.

It appears Ethan Roberts is being promoted from Tennessee to Iowa. Roberts on the season has a 1.97 ERA with a 36.3 K% and 5/1 K/BB ratio in 32 innings. The stuff has really popped. Congratulations Ethan! 🎥 by @CubsCentral08
