There is (or was) a YouTube video somewhere of him eating a live lizard in a bullpen somewhere - when he was in the minors I believe.

Things you don’t expect to read every day.

Assad isn't likely to really move any needles. There is enough history to suggest he is capable of out pacing his xFIP, but with a mostly missed year and injury, it's not perfect conditions for that. He is already a balancing act and doesn't have much room for a velocity drop, control drop, etc that could come with missing that much time and the injuries. 

I wouldn't expect much of anything from him in 2025 outside of a depth spot start, September roster fillout or long man duty 

Assad would be a great bullpen boost though.  Makes that pen even better.

I rarely hear discussion on this but at what point do we start thinking about a Seiya extension? A bit of an interesting discussion because I doubt he wants to play DH in his next contract so maybe he won’t want to engage with the Cubs until they see what happens with Tucker

I have a feeling they'll move on from both Suzuki and Happ with both going to be 32 after next season. 

Hopefully the thinking will be that their future money could go towards both Tucker and PCA and unless traded, they have both Caissie  Or Alcantara that should be ready to take over LF.

Eh...maybe. I think the Cubs have plenty of long men come September, which will likely include Brown and Horton. Assad has missed so much time that any idea of what his stuff is going to look like in 2025 is very murky. He has never been a stuff merchant.
