I work at Panera a time or two a week, and they often do a “round up for X” charitable thing. This month is Make-A-Wish, which is near and dear to me, and reminds me each time that we are raising money this month to grant wishes, too! So if you haven’t already checked out The Blogathon details, you can read all about it here. And you can help grant those wishes – and force me to do crazy things at the Trade Deadline – here.
Looks like RHP Luke Farrell is being optioned back to Iowa. #Cubs

Since the start of the 2014 season, 17 players have collected at least 500 PAs with the Cubs. By wRC+, the top 3 are Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Willson Contreras. Tied for 4th?
None other than Chris Coghlan

Kris Bryant goes with "whatever has the most hits."
Matt Davidson prefers maple.
Albert Almora Jr. uses 24 per season.

Oh. My. I'm perusing MLB Shop's big sale today in the Cubs gear, and among sale items … holy crap: https://t.co/MWJb36d5fh pic.twitter.com/2XbSnGBgKO

So many shirseys (all of them? from my scanning it looks like all of them) are on sale, too. For what it's worth, this appears to be a fairly unique sale (today only). Yes, MLB Shop is a partner of ours (#ad), but still, it's a good one: https://t.co/kKtL6GUN83 pic.twitter.com/Fr2xEFeX85
