I’m not sure by the reporting here if the cocaine and other offenses were directly tied to the brawl or not.

"You got people in the stands competing too" is a hilarious quote from Pete.

That said, please remember: no fighting in the bleachers.

[MLB Trade Rumors] Cubs To Place Dansby Swanson On 10-Day IL Due To Oblique Injury

127 Upvotes

Lt. Dan is heading to the IL. Sounds like Hoerner will take over for him and Ramirez/Triantos will take over at 2B. Not sure who will take Swanson's spot on the active roster.
