Ian Happ might be the most confounding player on the Chicago Cubs. Every season he seems to produce the same profile: around 20–25 home runs, a strong on-base percentage, and a wRC+ comfortably above league average. Over the last four seasons he's also quietly accumulated more than 13 WAR while playing nearly every day in left field. And yet, if you spend any time around Cubs Twitter or baseball message boards, you know the debate never really stops. Is Ian Happ actually a key piece of the lineup, or is he a player the Cubs should replace? In this episode of CubsPS+, I take a deep dive into Ian Happ's performance over the last four seasons and try to put his production into context across Major League Baseball. I look at how Happ ranks among qualified MLB hitters, how he compares to other outfielders around the league, and where his offensive numbers stack up using metrics like wRC+, WAR, OPS, walk rate, and strikeout rate. I also dig into leverage splits and situational hitting to see whether the common criticism that Happ “isn't clutch” actually holds up in the data. Along the way, I explore what a 3-WAR player really means in today's game, how much that level of production typically costs on the open market, and why players with Happ's statistical profile tend to show up on winning teams more often than fans might realize. I'm not arguing that Ian Happ is a superstar. He's not. But when you zoom out and look at the consistency of his production, the numbers paint a much clearer picture of what he actually brings to the Cubs. Sometimes the most interesting players in baseball aren't the obvious stars or the struggling role players. Sometimes they're the ones who quietly produce year after year while the conversation around them never quite settles. That's exactly what makes Ian Happ such a fascinating player to analyze.

Welcome to Tablesetters, where early-season baseball storylines are evaluated through context, projection, and structural impact rather than isolated spring highlights. As camps begin to stabilize, several early narratives are beginning to shape the broader landscape of the 2026 season — from international competition to emerging prospects and roster uncertainty around the league. We begin with the return of the World Baseball Classic, which arrives just as MLB spring training reaches its most competitive stretch. The tournament brings together 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami, running through March 17. Japan enters as the defending champion after defeating Team USA in the 2023 final, while the United States returns with a roster built to pursue redemption. The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico also enter the tournament with lineups capable of making deep runs. Exhibition games leading into the tournament have already produced early signals. Team USA delivered one of the loudest statements, routing the San Francisco Giants 15–1. Paul Skenes dominated in his outing, striking out four hitters across three innings without issuing a walk, immediately reminding everyone why he has quickly become one of the most overpowering pitchers in the sport. Offensively, Alex Bregman launched a home run while Roman Anthony — a late addition to the roster after Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hand — delivered a two-run homer. The lineup surrounding them featured star power throughout with Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton. Japan's preparation was less smooth. Samurai Japan dropped an exhibition game despite a solo homer from Masataka Yoshida, a reminder that even the defending champions are still working through early-March rhythm. The tournament officially begins when Chinese Taipei faces Australia in Tokyo, opening the round-robin stage where five-team pools compete for two quarterfinal spots. Team USA opens its tournament Friday against Brazil before quickly facing Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy as Pool B begins to take shape. From international baseball we move to a structural shift arriving in Major League Baseball this season: the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Rather than replacing home plate umpires entirely, the league is introducing a hybrid model. Each team begins a game with two challenges, and only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can initiate a challenge immediately after a call. If the challenge is successful, the team keeps it. Spring training has quickly become the testing ground for how teams will actually use the system. The Minnesota Twins have been among the most aggressive teams in challenging calls, leading the league in overturned decisions early in camp as they experiment with the margins of the strike zone. Meanwhile, the Athletics have stood out for efficiency, posting the highest challenge success rate in baseball so far by winning roughly seventy percent of their appeals. Leaguewide data suggests about half of all challenges are overturned, reinforcing the idea that the biggest edge may belong to players with elite strike-zone awareness rather than teams that simply challenge the most. Spring training has also produced several intriguing individual and organizational storylines. In Detroit's system, Kevin McGonigle is beginning to look like one of the most advanced young hitters in professional baseball. The 21-year-old shortstop recently opened an exhibition game by launching the first pitch he saw from former All-Star Luis Severino for a home run. McGonigle's combination of strike-zone discipline, elite contact ability, and emerging power recently earned him an 80-grade hit tool evaluation, the highest grade scouts can assign to a hitter. In limited spring action he has posted a .400/.471/.667 line, further reinforcing the belief that he could eventually become one of the defining hitters of the Tigers' next competitive window. In Colorado, the organization's long search for stability at first base continues more than a decade after Todd Helton's retirement. This spring that conversation centers around Charlie Condon and TJ Rumfield. Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Georgia, arrived in professional baseball with one of the most dominant offensive seasons in recent NCAA history, hitting 37 home runs while batting .433. His raw power could eventually play extremely well at Coors Field. Rumfield represents a different profile — a more experienced hitter who spent all of last season in Triple-A hitting .285 with an .825 OPS. Colorado now faces a familiar decision between accelerating a high-upside prospect or relying on the steadier upper-minors bat. Atlanta is dealing with a far more complicated roster situation. Jurickson Profar is facing a potential 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time within the past year. Under MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, a second violation results in a full-season suspension and forfeiture of salary. Profar is expected to appeal the decision through the MLB Players Association, which leaves the Braves in a difficult holding pattern as they attempt to plan their Opening Day roster. If the suspension stands, Atlanta will suddenly need to replace a projected middle-of-the-lineup bat. Finally, one of the most closely watched prospects in baseball continues to generate attention in Pittsburgh. Konnor Griffin, the 19-year-old shortstop and the No. 1 prospect in the sport, has already launched three home runs in limited Grapefruit League action. Griffin's power-speed combination has drawn comparisons to some of the most dynamic young players in the game. Last season he hit .333 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels, eventually finishing the year at Double-A. The bigger question now is timing. If Griffin were to make the Opening Day roster, he would become the first teenage hitter to debut in the majors since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates may still choose to delay that debut for development or service-time reasons, but early spring performances are beginning to make that decision far more complicated. Spring training often produces noise, but the themes beginning to emerge this year feel more substantial: the return of baseball's biggest international tournament, a technological change that could reshape the strike zone conversation, and a wave of young talent preparing to define the next era of the sport. The season is approaching quickly. And the real signals are starting to appear.

//The Wire//2200Z February 25, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: MEXICAN TRUCKING UNION BEGINS LABOR STRIKE DUE TO CJNG AMBUSHING DRIVERS ON HIGHWAYS. AMERICAN FORCES CONTINUE SURGING INTO MIDDLE EAST AS NEGOTIATIONS LOOM. CUBAN FORCES KILL 4 AMERICANS IN SMALL BOAT DURING SKIRMISH IN CUBAN WATERS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: The surge of American forces into the region continues, with non-stop flights of C-17's and C-5 cargo aircraft transferring supplies into CENTCOM. Fighter aircraft movements continue as well, with another flight of F-22's departing the United States for Lakenheath overnight, to supplement the 12x F-22's which transitioned to the Middle East a few days ago.Analyst Comment: On the diplomatic front, negotiations between the United States and Iran are scheduled to take place tomorrow in Geneva. So far no real word how things might go, but if the prior negotiations are any indication, stalling for time will probably be a main goal of all parties involved.Caribbean: This afternoon the Cuban Embassy released a press statement confirming that 4x Americans were killed during an incident that took place in Cuban waters just north of Cayo Falcones. Cuban forces reportedly attempted to interdict an American speedboat, and when approached by Border Guard forces, the passengers onboard the vessel began shooting. The Cubans returned fire, killing 4x passengers and wounding 6x others.Analyst Comment: As this is a developing incident at the time of this report, nothing is known beyond the initial press release as posted by Cuba. No American agency or diplomatic post has commented on the situation yet, and the details of what happened are single-source reporting (from the Cuban government) at the moment. More information is expected throughout the evening as the situation develops.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Mexico, the situation remains tenuous as clashes have continued between Cartel and Government forces over the past few days. Random roadblocks and skirmishes pop up sporadically around the country, which have made travel unpredictable for many throughout the region.Government forces have continued raids in the wake of the initial targeting of El Mencho. Yesterday, the Mexican government confirmed the death of El Tuli, El Mencho's Operations Chief, who was killed in a similar raid as his boss. Removing the OPs guy from the CJNG the day after El Mencho was killed probably stunted the response to the initial raid, however random ambushes continue on the highways, largely unabated. These ambushes usually seek to target large semi-trucks, which Cartel members use to block roadways via setting on fire.As a result, this morning, the Mexican Alliance of Transportation Organizations A.C. (AMOTAC, the largest trucking union in Mexico), declared a labor strike due to a total of six truck drivers being murdered in these ambushes throughout the country over the past two days. This strike has largely taken the form of truck drivers refusing to drive, with some even setting their own trucks on fire, before the cartel has the chance to do it. These types of labor strikes are common throughout Mexico, as highway robbery is a common threat throughout Latin America. Consequently, logistical problems are very likely nationwide throughout the next few days, as CJNG forces engage in the time-tested guerilla warfare tactics that made them famous.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Rent increases in Quebec just got a major overhaul for the first time in decades, and this renewal season is the first real test. In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Cory Friedman to break down what changed, what stayed the same, and where landlords and operators can get burned if their bookkeeping is not airtight. You will learn how the new framework uses a three year rolling CPI average, how capital expenses can now play a bigger role in allowable increases, and why taxes and insurance only help you when they rise faster than CPI. Cory also explains the real world problem behind the reform, the TAL backlog, and why today's leasing market makes renewals more strategic than ever. If you manage multifamily in Quebec, this is the renewal playbook to stay compliant, protect cash flow, and avoid expensive turnover. Topics & Timestamps

This week we are joined by an Assistant Hitting Coach for the New York Yankees, Casey Dykes!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of the Hitstreak, I get to welcome back Casey Dykes, assistant hitting coach for the New York Yankees. We discuss the balance between family and work, the impact of Southern roots on professional life, and the importance of faith. Casey shares insights on the dynamics of spring training, the evolution of baseball strategies, and the sneaker culture within the sport. We also delve into personal experiences, including meeting a sitting president and the role of analytics in modern baseball. The episode wraps up with advice for young coaches and reflections on family dynamics in a busy life, emphasizing the importance of intentional living and involvement in family activities.Key Points:- Family comes first, and work should not interfere with family life.- Southern roots provide a calming foundation in a fast-paced environment.- Faith is crucial for grounding and building relationships.- The evolution of pitching and hitting strategies is significant in modern baseball.- The Yankees clubhouse has unique personalities and swag.- Analytics play a major role in coaching and player development.- Loyalty and integrity are essential qualities for young coaches. About our guest: Casey Dykes is an MLB hitting coach and player development leader currently serving as an Assistant Hitting Coach for the New York Yankees. A Franklin, Tennessee native, Dykes was a standout multi-sport athlete at Franklin High School before playing four years of college baseball at Western Kentucky University. He earned a degree in Sport Management and a master's in Athletic Administration while starting over 175 games and winning a conference championship. Following his playing career, Dykes began coaching at WKU before moving to Virginia Military Institute, where he served as lead hitting and catching coach and recruiting coordinator.

Oneil Cruz was a disappointing player in 2025, but was it one of false hope? Early on, it looked like Cruz had figured things out, showing off a .902 OPS across March and April. May was OK, but things really tailed off as we got into the summer months. He only hit 8 home runs in the final 4 months of the season. Is he the forgotten man in the Pirates lineup? The front office went out and signed 69 home runs worth of power this offseason and the organization touts the #1 prospect in all of baseball, Konnor Griffin. Does that ease the pressure for Cruz? Everything also orbits around Paul Skenes, the reigning NL Cy Young. The existence of the new bats, Griffin and Skenes takes some off Cruz's shoulders. What will the Pirates lineup look like? Is it getting late early for Cruz or is he entering his hypothetical prime? Cruz was flailing and failing in the back half of 2025, so it feels like things can only go up. Chris is afraid to say Cruz will finally blossom, but he can be the biggest pivot point for the 2026 Pirates. Do fans have different expectations for Oneil Cruz in 2026? Which player is worthier of the HOF – Dave Parker or Andrew McCutchen? Parker is already in, but Chris thinks neither guy should be in there. He labeled both as ‘Hall of Very Good' players. Chris said Juan Soto is already in if Parker is in.

Feeling overwhelmed in your business but unsure where to start with delegation? In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, Samantha Prestidge, founder of Auxo Business Services, shares her practical framework for identifying how to delegate tasks and find the right person before the hiring process even begins. Most business owners approach delegation backwards. Instead of asking "What can I get off my plate?" Samantha explains why you should start by identifying what you want to keep. Her Map It, Keep It, Delegate It framework simplifies the entire process. First, map your business into three core buckets: Sales (how you find clients), Ops (how you deliver services), and Cash (how you manage finances). Then identify what lights you up and what truly requires your expertise. Everything else becomes a candidate for delegation. Samantha also addresses a common misconception about how to delegate. You do not need perfect SOPs before hiring. Many business owners delay getting help because they think everything must be documented first. In reality, a good assistant will improve your processes and create better systems than you would on your own. The conversation covers essential hiring strategies, including how to identify the right person for your team, what questions to ask during interviews, and how to spot red flags early. Samantha emphasizes the importance of clarity. Knowing what you need from a team member prevents micromanagement and supports a stronger working relationship. Key takeaways include understanding which tasks naturally group together, determining when industry experience actually matters, and being clear about your personal working style preferences. These insights help you avoid common hiring mistakes and build a team that genuinely supports your business growth. Whether you are hiring your first assistant or refining your delegation strategy, this episode offers actionable guidance to help you delegate effectively and focus on what you do best.

It's a guest-packed episode of The SIS Baseball Podcast as Mark Simon welcomed in Pirates coach and player development director Michael Chernow as well as three finalists for the SABR Analytics Conference Research Awards, Zach Crizer (The Bandwagon), Maddie Landis (Talk Sox), and Michael Rosen (FanGraphs).Michael Chernow explained how his job compares to that of a farm director, and shared how the Pirates organization works to build good habits in players and good habits in its coaches, such that both can get promoted to the major league staff or (in the case of coaches) pursue other areas within their baseball interest.Zach Crizer talked about his article for Opta Analyst, "Evolution in the Outfield: Is Center Fielder Morphing Into A Defensive Specialist Position" and cited the decline of center field OPS as players like Brenton Doyle, Kyle Isbel, and Tyrone Taylor become priorities for their teams. We also looked at his story from last season about right-handed batters and their lowered success vs left-handed pitching.Maddie Landis shared her article on "Baseball's Gatekept Pitching Metric: Inside Vertical Approach Angle" and explained what can be learned from knowing the angle at which a pitch crosses home plate. She also discussed what she wrote about baseball player success by shoe type and which hitters are primed for breakout seasons in 2026 based on a stat she created.Michael Rosen detailed what he learned from "How Much Do Trail Runners Matter? An Investigation" including which teams gained the most run expectancy from their successes. We also explored his articles on relief pitcher signings and also Wyatt Langford's defense.Thanks as always for listening.

Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!In this episode of Ops Cast, we are talking about metrics, but not dashboards, tools, or attribution models for their own sake.Michael Hartmann is joined by our guest Josh McClanahan, Co-Founder and CEO of AccountAim. Josh brings a business operations perspective to reporting and analytics, working closely with leadership teams to identify which numbers actually matter and how to use them to make better decisions.This conversation focuses on the shift from reporting activity to driving action. Josh shares why many teams produce technically impressive metrics that fail to influence leadership, and how Ops professionals can reframe data in a way that connects directly to revenue, profitability, and how the business truly makes money.You will hear Josh break down which metrics executives care about most, including financial measures like LTV and CAC, how those metrics change as companies mature, and why explainability often matters more than precision.The group also discusses how Ops teams can decide when data is “good enough” to act on, how to prepare for executive conversations beyond pulling numbers, and the common mistakes teams make when data is presented without context.This episode is especially relevant for Marketing Ops, RevOps, and BizOps professionals who want to move from being seen as report builders to trusted business advisors.Topics covered include: • The gap between reporting and decision-making • Metrics that matter most to executives • Financial literacy for Ops leaders • Explainability versus complexity in analytics • Communicating data in a way that drives actionMake sure to watch this episode if you want to better align your reporting with business outcomes and elevate the impact of your Ops work.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals MarketingOps.com is curating the GTM Ops Track at Demand & Expand (May 19-20, San Francisco) - the premier B2B marketing event featuring 600+ practitioners sharing real solutions to real problems.

This special episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Imperial War Museum London, in October 2025. I speak with Colin Ferguson, a veteran from the British Army‘s covert Special Observation Post Troop. This "stay behind" Special OP Troop consisted of selected soldiers in 6-man patrols whose task was to dig in large underground hides known as "mexe" shelters along the inner German border. They would then allow the main Soviet forces to pass over them before deploying to two smaller observation posts (Ops) where they would engage the enemy with the long-range guns and rockets of the British Army. We speak in detail about selection, training and deployment. Do check out Colin's podcast, “The Unconventional Soldier”, which offers first-hand accounts of past conflicts, military history, book and film reviews, plus guests, dits and digressions.

What if the real disruption in multifamily isn't AI leasing agents or automation?What if it's the entire hierarchy of your organization?In today's episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer reflects on an eye-opening piece by KP Reddy — “The Four Birds of Industry Metamorphosis,” and delivers a powerful perspective: we're not in an era of transformation. We're in the early stages of a complete metamorphosis.AI and agentic workforces aren't just tools. They're the early building blocks of a radically different operating model. Forget org charts filled with titles like CEO, RVP, VP of Ops. That entire structure? It's on the verge of collapse and not in chaos, but in clarity. Replaced by digital governance. By intelligent agents delivering real-time answers. By streamlined decision-making and trust built into the tech stack itself.Mike ties it all back to a hike with KP years ago in Phoenix. From Camelback Mountain to Substack insights, the thread is clear: companies that survive this shift will be the ones that rethink everything — especially how they lead.Read the article. Rethink the model. And start planning not just for transformation — but for metamorphosis.If this hits home, like the video, subscribe, and share your thoughts: is your org structure ready for the age of agentic workforces?Article mentioned in post: https://insightsbykp.substack.com/p/the-four-birds-of-industry-metamorphosisBlog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comSupport comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com
If you're still following the traditional sales funnel framework in 2026, your firm's growth is sure to stall. Because the “inverted triangle” view of a funnel is oversimplified, and it's starting to feel like the fundraising version of that tired investment process slide that makes everyone want to poke their eyes out. It flops because not everyone in your funnel needs the same thing, and “just checking in” isn't a follow-up strategy that actually moves people forward.That's why in this episode, Stacy's breaking down what actually works to keep your funnel healthy.Listen in to learn: • Why the funnel isn't a simple inverted triangle (and what it really looks like in practice) • What people at the top, middle, and bottom of the funnel actually need from you • The real job of the middle of the funnel (and why most teams ignore it) • Why filling the top of the funnel is harder than closing deals • Creative ways to get in front of new prospects (without spammy outreach) • Why LinkedIn works so well for this when you share the right kind of content This is Story Snacks, a bite-sized, jam-packed series for fund managers who are ready to master strategic storytelling in under 20 minutes a week. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

You thought you nailed the meeting. The conversation went well, heads were nodding, and everyone seemed engaged. Then you followed up with a thoughtful email and… crickets.Or maybe you got hit with the four words every fund manager dreads hearing: "We'll watch you."Most people take either of those as signals to retreat and move on. But what if they're actually something else entirely?In this episode, Stacy explains why hearing "no" (or radio silence) doesn't always mean your deal is dead. She's also sharing the high school soccer philosophy that changed how she handles rejection in sales, plus the exact move that turned a "we'll watch you" into a $50 million yes.In this episode, you'll learn:What "maybe" really means and why it's probably not what you thinkHow to spark the honest conversation that could actually save the dealA meeting-prep strategy that helps you avoid ghosting before it ever happensThis is Story Snacks, a bite-sized, jam-packed series for fund managers who are ready to master strategic storytelling in under 20 minutes a week. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?
