## Resource

The Cubs face a pivotal August deadline decision: buy or sell? If they’re still in contention for the NL Central, expect a pitching push. But if they’re slipping, expect to see players like Suzuki on the block — already drawing interest from the Phillies. A deal hinges on Suzuki waiving his no-trade clause and the Cubs’ playoff hopes. With his hot streak and high value, he’s likely to stay in Chicago unless the Cubs go full fire sale — which seems improbable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
