From four games on Wednesday to just two until Sunday. Even then, it could’ve been just one if the White Sox had won last night …
The White Sox bullpen got a little blown up last night, and no home-series-clinching thing is going to happen. That streak will last at least 107 years now. And if the White Sox are going to move on to the ALCS at all, they’ll have to beat the Guardians in Cleveland tomorrow night. Oof:Over the last 2 games, White Sox hitters have struck out 31 times and White Sox pitchers have issued 17 walks. No other MLB team in the modern era has had that many strikeouts at the plate and that many walks on the mound over a 2-game span (reg or post).
— OptaSTATS (@OptaSTATS) October 9, 2026 It was a tough season for the perennially-excellent Jose Ramirez, but he did get to play hero last night:José Ramírez is one of the best players of his generation. Not a lot of guys who can take a 100-mph top-rail fastball out of the yard. Guardians are ahead in a must-win game, 3-2. t.co/FoUZ5RTYQS

— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) August 5, 2024 More on how the Cubs are unlikely to top the market on Seiya Suzuki, given that he very well may be the best bat out there (and they desperately need a lot of pitching):Can the Cubs really afford to let Seiya Suzuki walk? ? @sahadevsharma believes Chicago’s desperate need for pitching could make a reunion with the Japanese slugger increasingly unlikely. t.co/f1jwvHOkJi
— North Side Territory (@NSideTerritory) October 8, 2026 I don’t think there is a Cubs fan alive who doesn’t want to see Seiya Suzuki back on the team in 2027. But my gut tells me he’s going to get a relative whopper of a contract ($130-$150 million? More?), and given the Cubs’ situation on the positional side (big league talent, big league contracts, and prospects), it’s pretty hard to justify taking dollars away from pitching to further supplement the offense. Yes, yes, we all wish the budget was unlimited, but I have to live in the world as it is. So, then, I think just about all available dollars of significance this offseason are going to pitching. Jed Hoyer came as close to confirming it as he’ll ever come to actually discussing transaction plans. At least the Cubs can make Suzuki a Qualifying Offer … Speaking of top bats on the market, though, if Teruaki Sato is posted, he might be up there:Mission Accomplished ??? Teruaki Sato is the first Hanshin Tiger to win the Triple Crown since Randy Bass in 1986 ? The 27-year-old joins Nobuhiko Matsunaka (2004) and Munetaka Murakami (2022) as the only NPB hitters to claim the Triple Crown this century ? t.co/3PhVcL48zw
— Yakyu Cosmopolitan (@yakyucosmo) October 8, 2026 Sato is a third baseman who has some experience in the corner outfield spots, so it’s plausible the Cubs could get involved (they need to keep that Japan pipeline active for so many reasons), but if he gets a huge deal, I really don’t see that being where the Cubs put their resources. Prediction markets officially have their first player partner:Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has partnered with Kalshi, making him the first MLB player to venture into prediction markets. Kalshi is also reportedly in talks with MLB for a leaguewide deal. t.co/3QLvkasxRS
— The Athletic (@TheAthletic) October 8, 2026 The timing for Ronald Acuña Jr. was probably not ideal, as the Kalshi partnership news came out more or less as he and the Braves were being eliminated from the postseason:Ronald Acuña Jr., booed at home in brutal NLDS, left with big questions and heavy emotions. Column, unlocked and free to read. t.co/4Vpw4Gd0Dr
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) October 8, 2026 From the article:“The Braves hold $17 million options on Acuña for both 2027 and ‘28. The salaries are modest for a player of his caliber. But in the wake of his Division Series failures, the questions surrounding him are bound to grow more pointed.
Will the 28-year-old ever stay healthy? Will the Braves try to sign him to an extension? If not, will they consider trading him?
Then there is the biggest one: Are his days as a star over?”
Three of Acuña’s last five seasons have been pretty mediocre, and/or wholly wrecked by injury. His 107 games this season were his most since 2023. His defensive value has become strongly negative. I think questions about his future are more than fair. That said, the two non-mediocre seasons over the last five years? His wRC+ were 171 and 162. He pretty clearly still has monster ability within him, and 28 isn’t exactly over the hill. If the Braves decided to shop him, especially in this very weak class, I’m sure they could get a boatload.
