Delighted to know that “picks” is Spanish for “picks”

Wow. And racked up that DRS in 22 fewer games!

Epic!

I love how Nico’s pointing at Happ while sprawled on his belly 😆

Looks like Reese McGuire hasn’t signed with anyone yet. Would you expect him to be the top short-term option? Or do you see Ballesteros as a legit option to catch once or twice a week?

Great point about the responsibilities of being a catcher in a new org making this even more impressive! I remember Yan Gomes saying he basically punted on offense his first year with a team as he’s learned the staff. To be able to do that and also hit at an elite level is incredible.

Wild that BJMJ has a 175 wRC+ with a BABIP of .241. Imagine when more hits start dropping in!

I honestly appreciate the urgency it shows. They’ve had a strong start to the year, and they’re not willing to take their foot off the gas. Even for someone as important to the team’s future as Shaw.

Making a bid for Cubs rotation spot? 👀
