## Resource

Just like that the 2nd half of 2026 MLB season is underway and what better way to start then with the Cubs honoring the 2016 World Series team. Alex and Lance cover the festivities from this past weekend, and yes, Anthony Rizzo somehow got another home run hit at him while in the bleachers. Additionally, the Cubs selected RHP Cade Townsend from Ole Miss 23rd overall in the draft that Lance was there and his smile tells you everything you need to know about the Cubs draft strategy. Also don't look now, the trade deadline is approaching - August 3rd - find out why Alex thinks Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers is staying put and who the Cubs could possibly go after.
