The Chicago Cubs find themselves in an interesting spot with the All-Star break officially here. They might be 47-51 and in last place in the NL Central, but they've played better baseball lately and are 3.5 games back of the third Wild Card spot. Chicago's odds of making the postseason...

It is very possible that the Chicago Cubs could have had multiple players make the All-Star game. First baseman Michael Busch holds a better slash line than the Mets’ Pete Alonso, who made the All-Star game. Ian Happ’s recent success could have certainly made him a replacement nominee. But if the Cubs had only one representative, it had to be Shota Imanaga.

There's a very obvious reason that MLB teams don't typically buy on rental players until the days and weeks directly before the deadline. You will rarely see a trade happen outside of the month of July. The exceptions are controllable All-Stars like Luis Arraez who was traded to San Diego earlier this year.

CUBS PROSPECTS — Everyone on the Cubs farm rolled on Sunday except for the I-Cubs, who fell to the Nashville Sounds again. The Iowa Cubs lost 3-2 to the Nashville Sounds.

Bryce Windham went 2 for 4 with a walk and a stolen base, scoring one run.

The St. Louis Cardinals have bounced back nicely following their brutal start to the season and ended the first half with a 50-46 record. They're in sole possession of the second Wild Card spot in the NL and trail the Brewers by only 4.5 games in the NL Central. The postseason is within reach, and a division title could be too.

New York City, NY

Things have just gotten even sweeter for the New York Knicks, who have already put the entire league on notice. After trading for Mikal Bridges and resigning OG Anunoby, they have now gone all-in, locking up their star player, Jalen Brunson. While this deal comes as no shock, Brunson has deserved every penny for this type of contract extension. After all, he did carry the team while half of the players were injured. This is a big win for the Knicks.

Queens, NY

Kodai Senga made his third rehab start yesterday — his second with Triple-A Syracuse — and tossed 4 2/3 innings of one-run ball while building up to 67 pitches. Manager Carlos Mendoza told the Mets beat yesterday that Senga’s next steps are “TBD” (X link via MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo), but the righty is on the cusp of a big league return one way or another. At most, Senga would require one more rehab tune-up, though Mendoza’s comments leave the door open for the right-hander’s next outing to come at the major league level. Newsday’s Tim Healey tweeted before Senga’s outing that the Mets want the right-hander to be able to throw 75 to 80 pitches before activating him.

Back at UFC 247, Jon Jones defended his light heavyweight belt for the final time. The match was not without controversy, though. To this day, many believe that Dominick Reyes won the first three rounds of that fight. The challenger put a surprising amount of pressure on Jones, and battled strong for the entire fight. After years of dominance, it looked like Jones’s eventual successor had finally arrived.

The AL West is one of the most underwhelming divisions in baseball this year. How will each team perform down the stretch?. Look, let’s call the spade, a spade. Going into the All-Star break, the AL West has been a very “mid” division. The 1st place Mariners feature a stellar pitching staff, but that’s all they’ve got. The offensive woes in Seattle are for real. The Astros stumbled out of the gates early, but they are running down 1st place. The defending World Champs in the Texas Rangers have been banged up all year. The Angels continue to play bad baseball with no clear plan from leadership and the fans in Oakland will watch their team finish as one of the worst teams in baseball.

The Chicago Cubs have an interesting MLB trade deadline ahead of them. Sitting in last place in the NL Central, they had aspirations of contending in the division when the season began. After a hot start, the team decayed physically and on the field, leaving the cupboard barren for first-year manager Craig Counsell. The front office is in an interesting position as the MLB trade deadline approaches and the Cubs start to play better.
