2 things for that to happen:
1) Steele comes back sometime during July looking at least 85% of his previous form.
2) Trade for a starter that would at least fit in the #3 slot.

Home plate ump had a rough top of the 9th tonight with the PCA run being called out, then calling a foul tip on Seiya on a pitch that was 6 inches from his bat.
All that said, Cubs look like they're having fun out there.

That's two. Back in second place.

Seems like it's been a minute since we've seen it, but its a veteran group. They see the big picture.
Good to see Rea get back to hitting his spots. He's been fighting it lately.
Should have Boyd back within a couple of weeks, barring a set back at AAA. Hopefully, he can catch a break and settle back in.
Not sure how much we can bank on Steele being a big addition for the second half. Sounds like Jed still anticipates him being back at some point, but he's still a couple weeks from even trying to throw a baseball...
Jaxon Wiggins is throwing bullpens, but not simulated games. Sounds like they are going to be extremely careful with him. Unless things go wildly well, he may not be with us either until rosters expand. He's still got some things to prove at AAA.
They are going to have to make a move, if they expect to make the playoffs and try to make a run.
Schedule softens a bit for the next few weeks. Gotta bank some wins.
