The Cubs Are Sellers (for right now)

The Cubs are in a tough spot, sitting at 42-49 and 11 games out of first place. They had a 500 record in the past week, but that's not enough to get it done. The highlight of the week was rookie Shota Imanaga being selected as the team's only All-Star. On the downside, Kyle Hendricks went down with back spasms and Colton Brewer punched a wall and broke his hand. The Cubs are heading into a series against the Orioles, followed by the Cardinals, and their performance in these games will determine whether they become sellers or not. In this conversation, Carl and Mahoney discuss various topics related to the Chicago Cubs and the upcoming trade deadline. They touch on the Orioles' potential as trade partners, the Orioles' TV deal dispute, the Cubs' status as sellers, and the leadership of Craig Counsell and Jed Hoyer. They also talk about the Cardinals' performance, the Cubs' lineup, and their upcoming series against the Cardinals. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about Tom Ricketts and his role in the Cubs' current situation. Finally, they briefly mention their recent trip to Las Vegas and the Sphere.

Thanks for tuning in!
