Nelson vs. Arrietta in game 1. Need a strong series win here.

Just read that Montero see's a specialist tom. then will travel to Milwaukee. He hopes to play this weekend. His thumb won't be a 100% to after the season. There is nothing they can do it for it now so it seems he wants to play through it. We will see what the Cubs do.

Hope he doesn't get run over by a bratwurst.

Gomez and Fiers just traded to Astros
@mlbtraderumors: No medical holdup this time. #Brewers announce Gomez, Fiers traded to #Astros for four prospects. Read more: bit.ly/1Jze2kc


Cubs need to take advantage of this and sweep their assess this weekend. .

Like seeing them using Cog at 2B and 3B now. It will increase his value while Schwarber is taking over LF.

Montero coming back...About time. The staff has suffered with out him in there. Hope that stills the Nay-Sayers on his value to the team.

The Mariners and Cubs have had recent trade talks, reports ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter), though he’s yet to ascertain which specific players were involved. The conversations didn’t center around Starlin Castro, Crasnick continues. Clearly, there could be a wide range of targets at play here, though the Cubs have been connected to pitching upgrades in both the rotation and the bullpen.

In today’s Rumor Roundup over at ESPN, Jayson Stark writes that other teams view Tyson Ross as the Cubs‘ top trade target. Chicago likes Andrew Cashner but considers him a fallback option, should the price for Ross become too steep. Both Castro and Javier Baez have previously been of interest to the Padres, although Castro’s stock is way down. Stark also reported today that the Cubs are now “aggressively” shopping Castro.

Schwarber reminds me of Keith Moreland behind the plate. .

Who old enough to remember seeing Moreland catch ?
Talk about adventure
