Rizzo getting tough with the Reds. It's good to see some fire in a core player.

Alcantara was awesome. Glad he's staying up for now. Lock down that #2 spot

Still see a 6/7 pick next year, though.

That farm tho

Rizzo hits #24 & #25 against his former team

He has 7 in his last 10 games!!

Cubs claimed SP Jacob Turner and Cole Hamels

Hopefully a deal will be done with Turner. A Hamels trade would be way more likely in the offseason, though.

My new sig until he busts

Really seems like Joe Maddon is going to happen.

Apparently Cubs are #1 on Jake Peavy's wish list. We know Lester is seriously interested in the Cubs, and Theo/Jed really want to sign him. Lester has a huge comfort level with them because of their history together, but obviously while it's a great tie-breaker to have, it should all come down to money. If the Cubs go after Shields with Maddon as manager, I'm sure that's an advantage. Nick Cafardo is reporting he hears Cubs will try to go after both Lester and Scherzer, but honestly I'd rather sign Lester and Shields.

Either way I like the fact for the first time we head into an off-season with Theo/Jed actively trying to improve the big league club. The farm system is finally built up, and now the next phase of the rebuild is upon us.
