Everyone from known MLB journalists to casual fans seemed to have a bone to pick with Doug Eddings on Saturday afternoon.

Baseball's two best teams will meet this weekend not in Los Angeles or New York or Philadelphia. The AL-best Detroit Tigers will host the NL-best Chicago Cubs for a three-game interleague series at Comerica Park.

Over the past couple of seasons, the New York Mets have earned a reputation for finding ways to "fix" pitchers who have previously struggled. They'll attempt to do the same with former Chicago Cubs Julian Merryweather, as they signed him to a minor league deal on Saturday, according to Newsday's Laura Albanese.

Coming into the year, Hodge figured to be a significant piece of the bullpen after a strong 2024 campaign. Last season, he totaled a 1.88 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, nine saves, and nine holds in 37 games pitched.

Comerica Park feels like a venue in which this current Cubs team -- a group which has speed, defense and athleticism as its foundation -- would feel right at home. On Saturday, Chicago went a different route and showed off the power that also exists within its lineup.

With one of the best offenses in MLB this season, the Chicago Cubs could get better with the addition of one of their former outfielders, Mike Tauchman.
