Hoyer, Ross emphasize sense of urgency as Cubs resume after All-Star break (and play poorly right away). McGrawDHSports Cubs
Between manager David Ross and president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, the message was crystal clear as the Cubs returned to action Friday at Wrigley Field. "If we play like crap, there will probably be more stuff go on," Ross said before facing the Red Sox."If we play really good and get on a roll, then we won't probably hear much of the noise. It all comes down to how we play.
One of those players who could end up in trade discussions is Kyle Hendricks, and he tossed a dud Friday, giving up 4 Boston home runs, two to Rafael Devers, in 4 innings as the Red Sox jumped to a 5-1 lead. But beyond the record, the biggest question is what next year's team will look like. The rebuild is supposed to be winding down and two of their better players, Bellinger and pitcher Marcus Stroman, are headed for free-agency. Is the best move to get something in return by Aug. 1 or wait to see what happens in the offseason?
The Cubs might be less hesitant to throw Drew Smyly or Mark Leiter Jr. into a trade if they can get a decent return.
