In Commentary And Analysis by Rice Cube8 Comments

Thought this was an interesting note, one I don’t think I’ve ever seen before from the Cubs or any other team in season:

Via Cubs Twitter or X or whatever the hell it’s called

I think I fully expected the Cubs to sell, but maybe, given their not-atrocious record and the window being open just a crack, they are really just trying to facilitate a build up even if it’s gradual. Thus far it’s adding guys like Nate Pearson and Isaac Paredes, while subtracting Christopher Morel (sad face) and avoiding touching their top 10 prospects.

I really don’t know, but we have two days until the deadline, so let’s have some fun.

    Rice Cube,

    I’m going out on a limb and saying there is no way in hell (and tbh, the consensus opinion across the spectrum is that hell is our reality for the foreseeable future) the Cubs are trading Nico. It’s not happening.

    I’m okay with this. Avoided all the usual suspects and got to use Fergie Jenkins.

    some words on Paredes

    The catch now is that Wrigley Field is 355 feet down the left field line, so one has to wonder how well Paredes’ production will translate to the Windy City. Via Statcast, 25 of last year’s 31 homers and 11 of this year’s 16 would have been out at Wrigley, but if the rest of those are routine fly balls, his numbers will take a hit.
