Big dawgs lined up for the rivalry series

[Rich Eberwein @Rich_Ebs]

Ugh, kind of sucks we had to give up a decent prospect. But that's what happens when you need to make a desperate trade like this. Before this trade, Counsell literally said that figuring out who would start games this weekend will be a challenge

#MLB TRADE

#Cubs Acquire
SP David Peterson
2026: $4M
2027: UFA

#Mets Acquire
1B Cole Mathis (High-A)

Peterson spent 9 1/2 seasons in the Mets organization, earning just under $16M across that span.

#Cubs starting pitchers currently on the IL:

-Cade Horton
-Justin Steele
-Matthew Boyd
-Jameson Taillon
-Edward Cabrera
-Ben Brown

[Rich Eberwein @Rich_Ebs]

Okay, now the bullpen AND the starting rotation are thoroughly cooked for a while. This is really bad

[Meghan Montemurro @MegMontemurro]

And yet *another* blow to the Cubs’ rotation: Ben Brown has been placed on the 15-day IL with a neck strain.

Edward Cabrera was also put on the IL with the left hamstring strain from last night. He is undergoing imaging today to determine severity.

Pete continues to fuel the offense

YOU JUST CAN'T STOP HIM 🚀

Cubs really needed a game like this

I love this

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

MLB is getting rid of the clock in the Home Run Derby, per @EvanDrellich

Participants will get 20 swings in the first round and 15 in the final two. On the last pitch of each round, they keep going until they don't hit a homer

[Rich Eberwein @Rich_Ebs]

Whoa

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

105 MPH FROM THE MIZ!

The fastest pitch from a starter ever recorded

[Rich Eberwein @Rich_Ebs]

Rest in peace to a guy who had the power to make Bulls basketball incredibly entertaining even if the team was struggling. It’s going to be tough watching games without his thoughtful/hilarious/iconic calls

Suddenly, Pete Crow-Armstrong looks like the answer as the #Cubs leadoff man.

I am once again asking PCA to get it together

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

Tough couple of days for PCA

[Cubbies Crib @CubbiesCrib]

It sure feels like Pedro Ramirez is going to factor into the #Cubs plans this season.

The question is whether it will be on the roster or as a trade chip.

As if I needed even more reason to root against the Mets
