Now we are serving up long balls to Perez.

And Bauers.

Keuchel please

In a shocking turn of events, a dark horse has emerged as favorites for his services:

As luck would have it, @PEOPLESCHICKEN, the White Sox just blew their wads per se, blowing a 4-0 lead earlier, now trailing 6-5 to the Nats.

Not even a bad loss, it's our #5 rookie starter against a guy that is now their #2 starter on the road.

Kid didn't get his brains beat in, he just got victimized by the long ball and he still got into the 7th and saved most of the bullpen.

Their #2 starter is a singer? No wonder we're 10.5 games in front.

Two young starters. One faced a legit lineup and the other could only be beat by Lindor. He was.

It was disappointing.

Bieber had a high pitch count and we went into free swinging mode and let him come out for the 8th because we stopped taking good ABs.

Cubs Making Push For Craig Kimbrel

By Steve Adams | June 5, 2019 at 11:26am CDT

The Cubs are “pushing hard” to sign free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports (via Twitter). He’d obviously be a much-needed upgrade for a Cubs ’pen that has been without closer Brandon Morrow all season and has endured numerous other injuries so far in 2019.

If a deal does indeed come to fruition, it’d represent a change of course for the Cubs, who spent the offseason making a series of small-scale additions due to ownership’s claim that the team simply didn’t have the resources to add to the team’s payroll. Kimbrel has been reported to be seeking a three-year pact, so it’s possible that the Cubs could backload a multi-year offer to ease up on the financial burden for the current season, but they’d still pay a 32 percent luxury tax on the average annual value of Kimbrel’s contract. The Cubs’ payroll already tops $213MM, and their luxury-tax payroll (calculated by the combined average annual values of all the contracts on the roster) checks in north of $227MM, per Roster Resources’ Jason Martinez.

Yup ... We are not as far along in the rebuild as the White Sox, but we are in the right direction.
