The trade that I guess needed to happen has happened. After grabbing Kyle Tucker, and as discussed on the Dreamcast, the Cubs have indeed offloaded Cody Bellinger to the Yankees: The Yankees are acquiring first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger from the Cubs, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. The Cubs also send cash to the Yanks and receive right-hander Cody Poteet. Per Jack Curry of YES Network, …

Mets Reportedly Secure Juan Soto’s Services
In news that surprised very few people, first broken by Jon Heyman after his little tiff on the radio (his anger was probably justified to be honest) and confirmed by Jeff Passan, the New York Mets have reportedly signed Juan Soto.

Granted, a …
Walk Off a Hero (By the Seat of One’s Pants)
This play was a very aggressive send that almost didn’t work because it sounds like Cody Bellinger stumbled rounding third and wasn’t running as well as he could: You can see that catcher and runner got to the plate pretty much simultaneously, and as the commentary suggests, the umpire was ready to call Bellinger out except the ball rolled away. …
Back In Action
I was at a weekend conference in Chicago where I couldn’t actually go to a Cubs game, but did see them win the series against the Brewers. I followed most of the tough opening loss to the Padres before I had to go on airplane mode, but it’s good to know that the Cubs are holding serve while continuing to …
Well Crap, See You in a Few, Cody
Goddammit. That is all.
