what do you think would be harder to hit

butt stink ball or balls stink ball

Cubs #1 prospect (Owen Cassie) and two others

Cassie was blocked in Chicago and Counsell wasn't a fan anyway for whatever reason. He'll get a chance in Miami.

MLB has banned his delivery too because of the huge hop he takes toward home plate that makes his release point that much close to the batter

Just one more reason to hate the Cubs

Cub fans are happy because they want Matt Shaw gone - because he went to the Charlie Kirk funeral.

Agreed, snowflake org.

I fucking hate cody bellinger and the yankees org & ownership now. Sign Bader for center and spend $25M on pitching FFS.

Reddit is great for non-politics. But, yeah, it’s loony toon left politically

Cougar, what is the loony toon radical right version of Reddit?

Marlins trade Ryan Weathers to the Yankees for 4 prospects. Dillon Lewis (right handed hitting OF) is the centerpiece

Bone Bone, Weathers has good stuff (fastball can be very hittable sometimes). I’m very surprised he was traded. I’m guessing Peter Bendix didn’t like that he’s only thrown 124 innings combined the last 2 seasons as a starter and we need bats not pitchers. We have two lefty studs getting called up soon.

Thanks for scouting report @Tron. Unclear what their plan is with him. Probably means they move Gil and then Weathers slots in wherever Gil was meant to be.

is this real?

I hope some guys on the Cubs start negotiation for a Honky roster % clause

I feel like Jays to win the pennant at +700 is a good bet. Gotta be instant value if they land Tucker and no loss really if they dont (given the other offers reported to be out there - all NL).
