  1. Buxton is: overrated with the bat, his defense is slipping, and he remains brittle to the point of not being capable to not only be on the field defensively but to play in a good chunk of the 162 game schedule. It is only gonna get worse with every year's flip of the calendar. Time to answer the phone when it rings asking about Buxton and to cozy up to Buxton so that he will wave his NTA. Others: Jeffers, Ryan, Larnach, Wallner, Bell, Lewis, etc. should be on their way out at this year's trade deadline along with a good old fashioned housecleaning of the AAAA and AAA players and pitchers clogging up the 40 man roster.
  2. He has falling in love with launching the long ball and this has him striking out way too much. The other day, batting leadoff, he was 1 for 5 WITH FOUR STRIKEOUTS.
  3. The time for a position change is the off season and spring training, not 1/3 of the way through the season. After the 2025 season he should have been given a 1B mans glove and told to work on that and only that position during the off season. Numerous commenters on this site have been advocating shifting Lewis to 1B for quite a while.
  4. Can you somehow catch up with the player named "LATER" ? Seems like he moves around quite a bit and is included as an option to Cash Considerations. Many a time trades can include a: "Player to be named "Later"".
  5. Wait it out this season. Work through his issue. Let him rebuild some value over the balance of the year. Dump him by trading him to a team dumber than the Twinkies in the offseason.
  6. He was cooked even before he was signed by the Twins. With both defensive and offensive challenged corner outfielders in the fold, who could reasonably slide into the role of DH to hide their defensive shortcomings, why in the hell would you blow $7 MM to sign a poor defensive 1B, who's "best" position is actually DH. Poor organizational decision making.
  7. Keep him exiled in AAA oblivion until at least the 2026 trade deadline.
  8. Overdue move on Outman. Too soon to bring back Lewis. His AAA short term success is no based upon a change in approach, but rather performing against AAA pitching. Knee jerk front office reaction based upon Lewis getting hot in AAA and trying to put bodies in the seats.
  9. Tin Man Buxton. Move him at the deadline and the team can put an end to this ongoing injury soap opera from their centerfielder. This drama has just become tedious & old.
  10. Keep both Lewis and Wallner buried at AAA until (at least) after the 2026 trade deadline when who knows what the 26 & 40 man rosters will look like. By keeping them in the minors you are sending a message to them and to the players in the organization.
  11. What is the matter with the Minnesota Tin Man this time? He was pinch hit for in his 2nd at bat in the 6/05/26 game and three position changes had to be made to accommodate the absence of Brittle Buxton.
  12. "Larkin in LF with a right handed starter" ?? Is that Gene or Barry Larkin ??
  13. Have the Cubs throw in Jonathon Long, 1B.
