		<description><![CDATA[The Cubs have been one of the best teams in Major League Baseball to start 2016. That point isn’t debatable, nor is it a revelation. The pitching has been arguably the best in the majors, and the defense is elite. The offense has outscored everyone (they are tied for first in the majors in runs scored despite [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year, as the MLB regular season begins, analysts and managers alike caution fans to avoid taking their team&#8217;s early results too seriously. They’ll tell us, &#8220;We haven’t played that well, but it’s only April &#8230; championships aren’t won it April.&#8221; Or, they’ll say, &#8220;We&#8217;ve started well, yeah, but we won’t know anything about this [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has seemed to me for a number of years that Major League Baseball is getting younger. Could you imagine, just a few years back, a hot prospect promotion engendering more fan interest than a marquee free agent signing?

Beane wins every time.” In evaluating Theo Epstein’s performance as an exchanger of talent on the Cubs behalf, the same question holds true.
