I could be wrong, but with Justin Verlander and Trea Turner having signed today – two of the few remaining big-time free agents whose markets AREN’T really having to wait on anything else – I feel like Aaron Judge has to be coming soon.

CUBS LINEUP — Despite Ian Happ's record-setting ninth-inning homer off Mason Miller last night, the Chicago Cubs could not complete their comeback. That makes today's game a rubber match. Here's a look at the Chicago Cubs lineup for the finale...
The Cubs have another arm at the ballpark today, and we'll see if he's being activated. https://twitter.com/ryan_a_herrera/status/1836427502366916741 With Iowa, Wesneski put up good numbers, but that was generally expected. He's demonstrated he can cruise at that level at this point....
Thanks to the season-long constant flurry of minor league pitching additions, I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't remember the Cubs signing big righty Antonio Santos earlier this year. The Cubs nabbed Santos out of the Mexican League, where he'd been...
