#PTR coming through for once

does this have nothing to do with getting Hoerner eligible for playoffs?

does this have nothing to do with getting Hoerner eligible for playoffs?

It appears that was probably the main reason.

 

A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.)

 

Screwing Russell over is a nice side effect, though. I'm sure Edith Cox is out somewhere bemoaning that that's thousands of dollars that could've gone to his children and saying the Cubs are in the wrong for this.

we don't seem to miss the 47 wrc+ he had been providing since his recall

[Guancous]

 

This tweet is a fireable offense. If only to save face that you hired someone that dumb in the first place.

Holy horsefeathering horsefeathers.

Window licker? Boot licker?

Nico was in the organization on 8-31 and can replace any of our 60 day DL pitchers assuming they haven't added a position requirement.

I have no clue how the rule works, but my assumption was that he had to be replacing a DL'd person when he was brought to the majors to be eligible.

[SouthSideRyan]

Nah, K-Rod replaced some guy who didn't play all year for the '02 Angels and Kevin Hart less famously came up with us in September and made the postseason roster in '07.

I didn’t think it was possible to be this dumb

[BigSlick]

Russell is for sure gone now ain’t he? The team barely plays him, he’s been awful, Javy has taken his spot without question.

 

All the Cubs accomplished by keeping him on board was to hurt their credibility with fans, further crater his trade value, and allow him to cost us a handful of games. Good stuff.

I can't believe he'll be back. He's made a complete ass of himself and Hoerner is no worse than he is. He's also cheaper, which should speak to PTR's sensibilities.

How about sending him to Boston for Jackie Jr.? Both are provide above average defense at a quality position, both are capable of above average offense.

But only one of them is a massive pile of horsefeathers

Not a bad idea to dump Russell, but there is a big difference in salary too. I think the Red Sox would have to sweeten the pot a little (prospect/money).

[Old Style]

So long, jackass.

He won't be missed. Putting aside the fact that he's an awful human being, he put up just 6.6 fWAR in 4 seasons, 3.8 of which was in 2018. He just wasn't very good
