It’s go time for the Cubs as they enter a pivotal stretch in their schedule to determine which direction the front office takes at the trade deadline.
Since early May, Happ is hitting .218 with a .676 OPS, nine doubles, three home runs and 22 RBIs in his last 58 games entering Sunday. Two of those home runs came June 24 in the London Series. The Cubs aren’t getting the type of power they need from Happ, especially with his frequency batting in the No. 3 spot where he has hit most of the season. He batted fourth in Sunday’s 11-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
Chicago Cubs' Ian Happ takes a high pitch from Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello for a ball as catcher Connor Wong, left, reaches for the ball on July 14, 2023. “Just because a guy walks, I still like walking when he was in the four ,” Ross said. “So guys that can get on base is always a positive, I don’t care where they’re at. Not everybody that’s just walking with a high on-base we just need to stick in the leadoff spot.”
“What am I going to tell them? I’m going to say, ‘Hey, focus on the game?’ They know they have to focus on the game,” Grifol said before Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. “Everybody here is a professional. They’ve been through it. They know it’s a part of it. And until it happens, there’s nothing really to talk about or think about.
