@CubbiesCrib Beg to differ on Flaherty.
He has great stirkekout numbers, though a high walk rate.
Our "state of the art" pitch lab and $300 million defense up the middle should make a helluva difference. Tremendous buy low candidate

@crawlyscubs Over under .5 innings pitched for cubs this season I'm pounding the over

I think I still have my Craig Kimbrel chia bears somewhere #Cubs
Robert Murray@ByRobertMurray
The Mets designated Craig Kimbrel for assignment.

@Brett_A_Taylor I was at both. Both were super hyped with an electric atmosphere. The difference is that Prior did what was expected which got the crowd hyped as the game went on. KB struggled against Jame Shields, so the buzz didn’t increase as the game went on
English
Speaking of Cubs prospect debuts, here's the question: whose debut was more hyped, Mark Prior's or Kris Bryant's?
The Windy City Breakdown@wcb_pod
24 years ago today, Cubs top prospect Mark Prior made his MLB debut. He struck out 10 over six innings against the Pirates at Wrigley Field 🔥

@Davey_Baseball Call the Tigers and buy low on Flaherty. Great stirkekout numbers. Get Finnegan or Jansen too. Eat the money, less prospect capital
English
That's it. I'm going to Wrigley tomorrow. @CarlsBeef

@cody__cubs I think the Cubs and Tigers match up great for a trade. Flaherty is a buy low candidate with solid K numbers. Finnegan would immediately become the ringleader of the circle of trust. If they aren't extending Riley Greene he's a star too.

Are you giving up multiple top prospects for two months plus postseason of Tarik Skubal, Cubs fans?
Jon Heyman@JonHeyman
Tarik Skubal trade chances are rising. 1. Tigers have lost 14 of 16 and are in last and 5 games out in WC race. 2. Tigers have 5 starters on IL. 3. Skubal is progressing since elbow scope. 4. Tigers chances to extend him are nil.

I expect some juicy ones but let’s try our best to be realistic here. Drop some questions for tomorrow’s mailbag

@thekapman And Cabrera is the only starter on the books for next year, and he can barely scratch 125 innings. Time to make the blockbuster for now, and the future.
English
@thekapman Deep dove into losing teams with bad contracts.
Perfect trade partner: Detroit Tigers
Casey Mize, Flaherty, Framber, Kyle Finnegan, Kenley Jansen all on TERRIBLE contracts. They keep losing, they are the partner. Unload the farm, try and get Riley Green while at it

@blakecowellx @notbobkoz I did a deep dive on bad pitching contracts on bad teams, with the notion they would cost less in prospect capital.
The Tigers are a perfect fit. Mize, Jansen, Finnegan, Flaherty may all be on the chopping block.
They also have Riley Green who is about to get paid.
English
@notbobkoz If the price is right for a rental. Yes.
We’re trotting out Jamo and Rea every 5 days
Who both are fine for who they are. But they gotta get better. Ideal world they add Logan Webb
English
This Cubs team is still very good
There’s obviously concerns. But this bullpen will look completely different in 2 months
They’ll add some type of SP (don’t know to what extent)
It’ll workout. Still a playoff team. Still good enough to win a division.
Mike@ChiNation18
This Cubs team is just clearly not a team built to win. Their offense has way too many strikeout guys with no true star. Their pitching is atrocious and their coach rolls the same lineup out every game. Just an extremely big disappointment after the offseason. Bears season 🔜🔜

@CarlsBeef And then in July you make the main move for an ace. These are the moves to get you to July
English
@CarlsBeef When you have no pieces to offer in a trade, you offer money.
Pitchers on bad teams with bloated contracts:
-Bryan Bello
-Garrert Whitlock
-Luke Weaver
-Jose Quintana (not joking)
-Kenley Jensen
-Robert Stephenson
