Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 22 Outs Above Average this year ranks 3rd best for an outfielder in the history of Statcast. It’s only August 5th.

Cliff Floyd is really, really good in post-game interviews of players. Asks questions that fans want to hear but connects to players in a way only a former player can.

New episode of Cubs On Deck dropped this morning where we detail the prospects that were traded away and what it means for the org ⬇️

Alright folks, let’s recap the Cubs prospect that were traded away this deadline, along with where I had them ranked in the system: 1. Jefferson Rojas 8. Mason McGwire 11. Jonathon Long 14. Jace Beck 20. Brett Bateman 24. Ty Southisene Recap podcast drops in the morning!

The last time the Cubs and Mets got together on a one prospect for 2 rental big leaguers deal it was PCA for Javy/Trevor Williams…………… just sayin’ (please don’t take this post that seriously)

Jefferson Rojas was my top ranked prospect in the Cubs system as of my updated rankings that went out last week. Now, he’s the piece going back to the Mets for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. My write-up on Rojas is below ⬇️

My write-up on Mason McGwire (#8) from my Cubs prospect rankings last week. McGwire is Rule 5 eligible this offseason and was part of the trade package for for Ryan Zeferjahn along with Moises Ballesteros

Today, on the day of the Trade Deadline, the Cubs are keeping every single one of their top prospects out of the lineup. Worth monitoring. *Mondays are off-days around minor league baseball

Stat cards for Bateman & Southisene, the two prospects the Cubs traded for Kevin Gausman

My write-ups on the Cubs prospects going to the Toronto Blue Jays in the Kevin Gausman trade. Brett Bateman (20th) Ty Southisene (24th)

The Cubs have now traded their top FOUR picks from the 2024 draft class and 6 of the top 7

My write-ups on the Cubs prospects going to the Toronto Blue Jays in the Kevin Gausman trade. Brett Bateman (20th) Ty Southisene (24th)

Blue Jays targeting two Cubs prospects with arguably the best bat-to-ball in the entire system. Brett Bateman has been GREAT in Triple-A, profiles as a 4th OF. Ty Southisene is leads the system in K% and plays a great MIF. Ranked 20th and 24th respectively in my update last week.

The MLB Trade Deadline is Monday at 5:00pm CT, which means we shouldn’t expect any word on Cubs trades until Monday at 5:07pm CT

Marco Luciano just hit a “single” (off the wall) off Jaxon Wiggins which perfectly describes the current situation with Jaxon. Fastball at 94 above the zone that was rocked. When Wiggins is right, it’s 98 and hitters can’t touch him above the zone.

No pod this week so instead I’ll share my whole prospect list in graphic form. If you’re looking for write-ups on each and every one of them or where I’d have the new draft picks ranked, you can find it at the link ⬇️ outofthevines.com/2026/07/27/t...

Gavin Hollowell looks like a teenager that hangs out at a Central Illinois Casey’s General store after school (complimentary)

Due to a child’s fever that’s higher than a Jaxon Wiggins fastball velo, there won’t be a new podcast in the morning. As @cubsmith.bsky.social and I try to find a time to talk about our prospect lists, be sure to read up on my updated rankings to prepare! ⬇️ outofthevines.com/2026/07/27/t...

Who is your number 1 prospect in the Cubs system: Jefferson Rojas or Josiah Hartshorn?

The Arizona Complex League wrapped up on Thursday, which means we typically see some promotions up to Myrtle Beach. These are the ones official as of today: SS Fernando Cruz RHP Freddy Rodriguez RHP Julio Valdez RHP Geovanny Vasquez

Justin Stransky scored from second on a ball Josiah Hartshorn hit to the shortstop. But I promise that’s not even the craziest part of this video.
