Well, it’s July 26, 2024, and another Cubs season has gone down the toilet. The Cubs have set their sights on regrouping for the 2025 season. But what does that mean? Trades? Looking ahead to free agency? Getting help from the Cubs’ highly rated farm system?
Probably whatever is low risk and doesn’t involve a serious outlay of money.

If you aren’t aware of The Borg, The Borg use a collective consciousness to their advance agenda.

For example, Yan Gomes had a career year at the age of 36 in 2023. A drop-off should have been expected. But Gomes didn’t drop off, he fell off a cliff. Hope at the catcher slot was theoretically supposed to come from Miguel Amaya. But that didn’t happen. And the Cubs haven’t had a response to the situation.
Dansby Swanson has been excellent in the field for a while, but I’m afraid his lack of offensive production is going to be the norm. He’s currently hitting .217…
