    ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Giants are “aggressively pursuing a second baseman and have been engaged with Chicago on Nico Hoerner and St. Louis on Brendan Donovan.” The Yankees have also reached out to the Cubs about Hoerner, but all indications, for now, are that the Cubs would rather hold onto Hoerner and trade Matt Shaw. Both Hoerner and Donovan are high-contact rate hitters who would provide nice balance to a Giants infield that features power bats in Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, and Rafael Devers. Nothing appears imminent, but the Giants don’t appear comfortable beginning the 2026 season with Casey Schmitt or Christian Koss as their starting second baseman. Source: Jeff Passan

    The Athletic’s Keith Law suggests that INF Matt Shaw is “the most obvious candidate” to be traded after the Cubs signed Alex Bregman. There was some thought that the Cubs would try to trade Nico Hoerner and move Shaw to second base, but Law suggests that Shaw may be wearing out his welcome in Chicago. After a poor rookie season, Law reported that Shaw has shown “resistance to help from the Cubs’ staff.” His approach at the plate in 2025 was “undisciplined and often defensive,” according to Law, and he wasn’t eager to make adjustments with the hitting coaches. If that’s the case, it’s easy to see why the Cubs would want to trade Shaw, but may limit his market if teams are worried about him taking the same approach in a new place. Source: The Athletic

    The Athletic’s Chandler Rome reports that “trade interest in [Christian] Walker remains almost nonexistent.” With Carlos Correa now back in town and Yordan Alvarez likely spending all of next season at DH, the Astros have a surplus of infielders and likely need to trade one of Walker or Isaac Paredes. The Astros would like to keep Paredes and play him at first base, but they would need to find a way to trade Walker. The 34-year-old did hit 27 home runs last season, but he has two years, $40 million left on his contract and has been declining offensively over the last couple of years. The Astros would likely get back far more in a trade for Paredes, so the question will be whether Houston prefers to make essentially a salary dump trade or tries to bring back players of value.

    We shall see. I won't be too surprised if they still have another move in them...

    If you guys ever find yourselves in Appleton, Sal's Pizza on College Avenue is sooooooooo good! Sold by the slice, or you can order full pies. Authentic Italian pizza and my favorite place in the Fox Valley for pizza. Lunchtime special gets you a slice, a soda, and a "to die for" garlic roll for $6.50. They have at least 10 pizzas out at a time so a really good selection. If you ever come up for Mile of Music, it's right there on the Ave...

    I know we do our best here to down play the Cubs and their moves, but the Cubs are trying to get better. I'd have been in on Tucker over Bregman if I'm the Cubs, but so be it. I'm hoping that sitting in neutral works for us...

    Adding Pena stops this deal cold in it's tracks, Not a chance the front office moves Pena for Duran.
  10. TURBO
    True, but the casual fan won't understand why we would trade Freddy, and they might be less likely to attend games if they don't recognize any of the players. Freddy is a name, at least to Brewers fans, so trading him could hinder the casual/average fan...

    The Housemaid was entertaining. Not a must see, but there are worse ways to spend 2 hours of your time. Sydney Sweeney is lucky she has big boobs, because she isn't that great of an actress, truth be told...

    How so, I'm curious...

    Having watched Erickson in Appleton for years, I have only one comment about his 3B coaching tendancies: Conservative Definitely wasn't a risk taker...

    The only way I trade him to the Dodgers is if we can bleed them dry. No bargains or question marks, BLEED THEM DRY if they want him. Screw LA.

    The DVD purge continues: Crazy Stupid Love - Decent little RomCom, my wife liked it, so keeping... Creepshow and Creepshow 2 - I remember liking these movies when they came out, hence the reason I have them, but nothing I need to see again. Goners Crocodile Dundee (all three of them) - Pass, not good, Goners. Christopher Robin - Nostalgic and I do have a soft spot for all things Pooh. Keeper Howard the Duck - Hard to even sit through, just out and out cheese. My wife lasted 15 minutes, got up and left the room. lol Though I admit to having a crush on Lea Thompson throughout the 80's, she wasn't enough to save this stinker. GONE!

    I'm not 100% convinced that WE don't view him as a starter... I think he gets a shot in 2026.
  17. TURBO
    Yeah, I don't think that $ is a reach for the quality reliever he has become. However, I'd rather see him get a real opportunity to start in 2026. He can always return to the bullpen if things don't work.

    Just saw a rumor that the Pirates are in on trading for Marte as well...
  19. TURBO
    Agreed. They have an abundance of starting pitching, by adding some offense, they become a .500 team, possibly better. People need to be careful in counting them out. This doesn't look like the old Pirates, they are trying to get something started.
  20. TURBO
    Yeah, he deserves a real shot. I can just see it though. He goes through June, gets about 4-5 at bats a week, doesn't produce, then everyone freaks out and calls him a bust, etc... He needs a legit shot, like starting 5 games a week for an extended period of time before we know what he can do.

    Mariners signed 1B/OF Rob Refsnyder to a one-year, $6.25 million contract. Refsnyder has spent the last four seasons with the Red Sox, all of which he served in a part-time role, playing primarily against lefties. That is where the 34-year-old shines, slashing .302/.399/.560 against lefties last year with seven home runs and a .259 ISO. However, for his career, Refsnyder hits just .229/.301/.332 against righties with a 25 percent strikeout rate. The Mariners will use him on the short side of a platoon with Dominic Canzone, who could open as the starting designated hitter. Related Source: Jeff Passan

    Huh?
  23. TURBO
    Christmas music should NOT start anytime before thanksgiving imo. The day after thanksgiving until New Year's Eve is fine, anymore than that is overkill.
  24. TURBO
    So then we should get conformation of the deal being done anytime now... :)

    Why the thumbs down @ghostdrew ? Care to tell me what you disagree with? C'mon man, share...
