They seem to be letting Pete and Seiya have some fun celebrating together again, so of course the vibes are immaculate. It's that whenever they don't is when the vibes turn to shit

Cubs fans in May: This is an awful, heartless, lifeless team. They might never win again, and they are sapping my will to live. Cubs fans now: This is the most magical, life-affirming team in baseball history. They shall never lose again, and I love them more than life itself.

Zeferjahn fitting right in

I must know how this meeting went down.

Look, I get it that Pete's getting a half day off so Taylor had to go in center. That still doesn't excuse Pedro Ramirez not getting some run out in left. He's tied for 3rd in wRC+ on the team with Pete in the 2nd half, and probably most importantly he doesn't have a 48 wRC+ against LHP this year

We gonna talk about how the Cubs won this game or nah?

My memory's a little hazy on the details but this is exactly how I remember him doing the stretch back in '19 on Kimbrel's Cubs debut. Day drinking with a buddy in town from CO will do that to you though

Did you know Forbes value of all 30 mlb franchises was just over 7 billion and now sits at 87.4 billion, despite no salary cap? That 14 different teams have won a world series since 2000, the NFL has had only 10? That no percentage of gains upon sale is transferred to the players that created it?

The Sirens name is dope as hell, so let me get that out front and center first. That said, the "Siren song coming from the Cuyahoga ablaze" jokes are going to glorious, and I am 100000000% for it

Probably thinks it'll go unnoticed as it'll be buried by SEOs of the phrase "Tyler Marsh a fucking joke"

Maggie Hendricks@maggiehendricks.bsky.social · 2d ago

Tyler Marsh called officiating on Kamilla Cardoso "a fucking joke." Tyler does not swear or get angry in media.

Up to a 135 wRC+ on the year inspite of his dreadful May. It's really shaping up to be similar to his great '24 (where he also sucked in May) where he posted a 137 wRC+

Gausman and Holmes cannot get here soon enough

HOLY SHIT, THEY ACTUALLY SAT HIM AGAINST A LEFTY

Thank you all for your contributions to this trade deadline season. FanGraphs and Baseball Reference thank you for the ad revenue as you looked up some guy you just heard of 5 seconds ago to boldly proclaim that you won the deal or question what the fuck are they thinking. See you in the off-season!

This just reminded me of when Dave Tallon got axed for being late to send out the QOs to 8 restricted free agents back in '09 🤣

Claire@baseball-broad.bsky.social · 2d ago

I just learned that both teams have to send an email to MLB with the trade details before 6pm Eastern Time on deadline day in order for it to be official. An email lol

Always remember to not leave your Nootbaar out in the desert sun for too long as it's prone to melt. Nobody wants sticky nougat all over their clothes

Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 2d ago

The Diamondbacks are acquiring Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals, sources tell me and @Alden_Gonzalez.

For a moment there I was about to log off for the rest of the deadline. I'm so glad I didn't. I'm missing out on all the fun 😂

A thought that just popped into my head is that Jed is relitigating '22 with the Gausman acquisition, and he moved onto '23 with the Garrett one. He keeps this up and eventually he'll get to addressing a current deadline.

I don't care that it's only 4.1 IP this year in that he sucks so bad. I'm going to post through it

At least his GB% is above league avg I guess. Pairs beautifully with his 28.6% walk rate. Gonna be plenty of opportunities for Cub fans to fawn over double plays

I mean how often do you get the chance to get a pitcher that has a FIP that's more than 8 runs lower than their ERA?

Cubs fans: Reid Detmers would be cool to get Jed: we don't need Reid Detmers. We already have Reid Detmers at home. Cubs fans: Jed: *trots out newly acquired Braxton Garrett*

Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 2d ago

The Chicago Cubs are acquiring left-hander Braxton Garrett in a trade with the Miami Marlins, sources tell ESPN.
