I do think those three teams are the top teams but its getting hot at the right time.
Maybe Im a Yankee hater but I feel like they will fail in playoffs with the strikeout heavy lineup when temperatures chill. I like the Astros more than them.
The Braves are always lurking as well. That lineup can go with anyone when hot.
And like I said, the MEts probably the best 1-2 punch but can they stay healthy and is their BP good enough.
Those one game wild card games are nutty cause any team can win one game.

Yes man, we’ve got the next great Cy winner coming in. You idiots love some unproven minor league talent. We are the Cubs not the As …spend some Fn money and win. This indefinite rebuild is comical at this point.
Can’t wait to hear your take on all the future all stars we get for Willy and Haap lol

Get use to this. As long as the Ricketts own the Cubs it will be nickel and dimes all day long.

Indefinite rebuild? You do realize we just hit 1 full year of rebuilding, right?!
also, do show where anyone mentioned cy young in regards to any prospect the cubs have gotten? That’s right, you can’t…you’re just making shit up.
but I guess you’d rather the cubs hung on to the 28 year old rookie reliever instead, huh?

The only thing saltier than @jts1207 ’s peanuts is himself!
imagine wishing to be right so badly that you actively root for your teams prospects to fail, just for some weak attempt at an I told you so

Only thing comical is your lack of baseball knowledge......which I'm guessing was attained by vigorous video gaming.

There is no point in spending money right now for the cubs. They would just be pissing away money and someone's career because the team isn't ready to compete. Now 2024 - 2025 rolls around, then Cubs are going to be buyers.

To be honest, if the best offer for contreras is some of the ones the mets have apparently been pushing I'd be more content to see them QO contreras and just get the pick. I don't see a slugging 1B as much better than the money you get for the draft when you're gonna have a very high pick as well.

yeah sorta hoping the rays are the play because they have more interesting prospects. I wouldn't might Matt Allen for one of the cub relievers though

I'm curious if the pads have the money to sign soto long term though. They are paying Machado $32 mil a year for the next 6 years and Tatis has a massive contract too. You could be talking about 3 players costing them $100 mil

Robertson to philly for Ben Brown. Not much scouting info on him but the numbers look fantastic. Big k rate low walk rate

AFAIK he's a starter. Looks like a guy they drafted late as a high schooler who's breaking out. From what I'm reading he may not have control long term to be a starter but i mean 2.84 bb/9 in 73 innings at A+ is pretty good especially when you add in 12.95 k/9. Worst case he's an interesting bullpen arm but he is very much in that herz range where you let him prove he can't be a starter with that sorta k//9

No question....but hardly a teaching tool when you can set the game to trade Wisdom and get Trout in return or just edit Wisdom to be Trout.

He would be the Phillies 7th best prospect when the rankings updated. Big jump this year.
