Here we are at the 2025 All-Star break, and the Cubs continue to lead the division, albeit by a whisker. This time, we discuss All-Star activities and our thoughts on how MLB should consider improving the experience, the path forward for Matt Shaw and the Cubs' bench situation, trade wish lists, and some predictions for the proverbial "second half" of the season on the path to the postseason.   Note: We had to ditch Episode #110 for a wee bit due to metering with our hosting plan, but it's back now!   You can find our blogs now with our friends at Obstructed View.
