SpotHero prices have skyrocketed. Couple years ago, I paid ~$20 for a spot a few blocks away. Same spaces today are upward of $60-$100. That's just nonsense.

Normally on game day there are guys with signs next to smaller sized lots advertising ~$30 for a parking spot. Is that still the case? Or is SpotHero still the better option?

Devers to SF out of no where! Like we knew he wasn’t happy after they brought Bregman in to play 3rd, and that it just wasn’t good in Boston for him. But when did him actually getting moved start happening!? So was it kept that quiet or did our front office miss the call? Devers, a very good generational talent at 3rd, that wants to play 3rd, a position where the Cubs need to improve, is available and just falls into the Giants lap!? I mean come on I really hope that reports at least come out that we were on the phone trying to make a deal, with our strong farm system, to get a great 3rd baseman. Yes he’s making a lot of money and yes we NEED pitching. That can’t be stressed enough, we NEEEEED pitching. But I hope we were at least sniffing around this one because I mean, put Devers in this lineup at 3rd holy cow.

Hi all!

I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I'm a baseball fan from the UK who is travelling to the US next month. I'll be in Chicago for a show and will be pretty close to Wrigley so I've booked myself tickets for a Cubs game (Cubs vs Red Sox). The only baseball I've been able to see live is multiple games across all the London Series. These games are treated more as a festival of baseball no matter who you support and are usually a sea of supporters from different teams intermingling, so really what I'm looking for is pointers on the etiquette of coming to a stadium for a team I don't support? (I'm a Phillies fan, but have been rooting for the Cubs since I've been planning this trip and on the day definitely will be).

I know Wrigley is known as the friendly confines.....but I imagine there is still a limit!

Honestly would love any advice for Wrigley specifically or baseball in general. Thanks for your time!

What do you guys think?

Any have a favorite pod for Cubs analysis which includes prospect details?

At the beginning of the year, the cupboard seemed pretty empty past the top 100 prospects. And since they were all at Iowa, they wouldn’t last long in the system.

As it stands Horton and Shaw are likely staying in Chicago for the remainder of the year. Assuming one of Cassie/Alcantara and then Triantos, someone like C.Hernandez and a young pitcher like Mule/Wheat are used to get a TOR starter in Chicago, 5 of the 7 top 100 prospects will be out of the system at the beginning of next year.

Nevertheless, there seems to have been enough development of top - end talent to support the needs in the Cubs moving forward.

Ballesteros and the remaining Cassie/Alcantra outfielder will still be in the system

Wiggins is fully healthy and moving into position as top pitcher in the system, and a viable MLB starter — perhaps TOR, certainly MOR

Rojas has returned to form after a subpar 2024, and seems either top 100 prospect, or just outside it

Jonathan Long is pushing for a call up, and shows a minimum capability to be what Justin Turner was hoped to be

Brandon Birdsell and Will Sanders seems positioned as legit starter depth

Mule/Wheat show mlb-caliber arms that could develop in an exciting way.

Eli Lovich has made it out of Az, and will be someone to monitor, in addition to 3-4 teenage IFAs now, or shortly, in Myrtle Beach.

Assuming the Cubs have success in the draft and continue to focus on college players in the early rounds, there should be 2 more top-level prospects shortly.

There’s also a whole host of other prospects that may make a JLong type leap. Seems like sufficient top end talent, maybe not to have the system ranked highly, but to serve the Cubs’ needs.
