6/15/24 Astros' Jose Abreu disaster may prove Jed Hoyer isn't as dumb as Cubs fans think. Before the Chicago Cubs attempted to fix their first base problem before the 2023 season with veteran reclamation projects Eric Hosmer and Trey Mancini, the offseason began with speculation that former Chicago White Sox first baseman and 2020 American League MVP Jose Abreu would be the priority target of the North Siders. Reports were that the Cubs may have offered Abreu a two-year deal worth $40MM but ultimately, the Astros offered a third year.

6/06/23 Red Sox cut 13 players from 40-man roster; how are Matt Barnes, Franchy Cordero, others doing?. Throughout the offseason, much was made about the series of tough roster decisions the Red Sox had to make as they remade their 40-man group for 2023. As free agents were added and trades were made, surprising calls were made as chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom cut ties with veterans like Eric Hosmer and Matt Barnes and once-promising prospects like Jeter Downs, Darwinzon Hernandez and Connor Seabold. Two months into the season, are any of the Red Sox' tough winter cuts coming back to bite them? Barnes has emerged as a middle/late inning option for Miami and has been pitching somewhere between the sixth and eighth innings.

5/20/23 Cubs make massive decision on former World Series hero. On Friday afternoon, the Chicago Cubs made a major decision on an All-Star first baseman and former World Series hero. The Cubs announced that they had designated 33-year-old Eric Hosmer for an assignment. One of the better defensive first basemen of the last decade, Hosmer signed an eight-year contract with San Diego Padres heading into the 2018 season.

5/19/23 The Chicago Cubs listen to fans and say goodbye to Eric Hosmer. The Eric Hosmer experiment has officially ended for the Chicago Cubs as the veteran first baseman was designated for assignment on Friday. Hosmer was pegged by the Cubs to be an upgrade from the production that the team received from the first base position in 2022. Instead, Hosmer was just as bad as the returns that the Cubs got from Frank Schwindel and Alfonso Rivas. Through 100 plate appearances this season, Hosmer slashed .234/.280/.330 with a wRC+ of 67.

5/05/23 Prospblocking Cubs Have a Mervis Breakdown.
As you might've heard, Matt Mervis was called up, but, more incredibly, Eric Hosmer grounded into a double play while he was sitting on a bench. Those boos aren't from fans for Eric Hosmer; they are boos from Eric Hosmer because he's a ghost of his former self. This is funny in a "how stupid am I" way: So, I saw Christian Encarnacion-Strand posted himself on Instagram in a Reds uniform, then deleted it, so that means he's coming, right? Of course! So, I dropped Matt Mervis for CES. Hey, if you can't laugh at me, at least cry with me. Welp, I just gave you my Matt Mervis fantasy last week. Not much to add. I mean, there's a lot to add, like Matt Mervis for one! Hopefully this waiver claim goes through dropping CES. I'm so stupid! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

5/03/23 Chicago Cubs have no reason to keep Edwin Rios in the Majors. It's clear he's ready for the big leagues and the team isn't running their best 26 guys unless they have him in tow. Considering he's a first baseman, it makes sense then that fans would turn their ire to veteran Eric Hosmer as the guy to cut bait with in order to bring Mervis up. Whatever you feel about that decision, there's actually an easier solution that would allow Mervis to come up and Hosmer to stay - just send Edwin Rios to Iowa.

5/01/23 2023 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 27. With three straight one run losses to finish the month, the Cubs are 2-5 in one run games. The Cubs are 7-11 against the National League. It's hard to imagine that both wouldn't produce more than Eric Hosmer at this point in his career. It's arguable that they'd outproduce Trey Mancini.

4/29/23 Marlins 7, Cubs 6: The dumbest game of the year, so far. Give the Cubs credit, they came back from a 5-0 first-inning deficit and made things close, but fell short and lost for the second straight day by one run. Eric Hosmer decided to tag up and run to third on a short fly to left because... why? David Ross wasted THREE players on a pinch-hitting appearance in the sixth inning. Whew, that was some bad display of baseball by the Chicago Cubs for most of Saturday afternoon in Miami, though they did some nice work in making the game close.

4/28/23 Fast Red Sox prospect acquired in trade trained on empty stomach in offseason. Corey Rosier, one of the two prospects who the Red Sox acquired from San Diego in the Eric Hosmer trade at last year's deadline, began meditating, read more and changed his diet during a productive offseason. “I actually experimented with intermittent fasting this offseason,” Rosier said by phone Tuesday. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter is 15-for-42 (.357 batting average) with a .400 on-base percentage, .452 slugging percentage, .852 OPS and four doubles in 14 games for Double-A Portland. The Red Sox added speed in the Hosmer trade, which sent pitching prospect Jay Groome to the Padres.
