Peter and Jack rip open the envelopes for this week's mailbag:

If the cubs maintain where they are in the NL Central right around 3GB, do they add at the deadline? In my opinion they are the most complete team in the division and the numbers suggest they have been unlucky (p.s. it pains me to admit that as a cards fan) - @dut_barrs on Twitter

In your guys’ years in watching baseball, who’s been your favorite or the best example of someone like Bryce Elder who plays “better than the bubbles.” Someone who has bad underlying metrics but performs well regardless. - @Monday_ethan on Twitter

If he stays at this pace for a few years, do you think Shohei Ohtani will be considered the greatest athlete of all time surpassing players like MJ, Bolt, Michael Phelps, Serena Williams, etc - @isaac_z14 on Instagram

If you were in Chaim Bloom’s position would you buy, sell or just stay put? - @joeyskehan04 on Instagram

If the pirates decide to sell at the deadline is Andrew McCuthen possibly going to get traded with others like a Rich Hill and a Carlos Santana or is this going to be a farewell tour since it could be his last season - @naokibaseballnerd on Instagram

Rays, Orioles, Reds, and marlins are all succeeding at high levels with low pay rolls and great development and organizational help while none of the top 7 payrolls are in the top 2 of there division. Could we see a regress towards the mean with the 300M contracts and see more of that invested in coaching and team development? Obviously sign your best players but it’s not shocking that a 40 year old and 38 year old are struggling leading a rotation no matter how great they were. - @benwickizer on Instagram

Who do you guys view as the sleeping giant of the MLB right now? I.e. think 2021 Atlanta Braves - @DaisiesDingos on Twitter
