There's a 27th man in play today in addition to a move for Cabrera, so tbd which this is

Velasquez seems to be the only choice at the moment.  When Boyd comes back (tomorrow?), Velasquez will go back, I guess.

Pete could give himself the best Cubs season of the decade besides 2025 Pete today.

Batting Nico 6th is a bold choice Craig.

As baffling as Bregman has been for the Cubs, Bo Bichette has been for the Mets.

@Tangled Up in Plaidthrowing you a thumbs up in the category of “it’s not just the Cubs” but more in the acquisitions area than injuries.  The similarities are there.

Bichette has been hitting better lately, though.  Hopefully, he stops hitting against the Cubs.

Tucker is by far the worst contract from the last FA.  So, yeah, "it's not just the Cubs" is right.

Yeah, I just saw it, too.  What's going on with our pitchers?

Hopefully, he'll just skip one or two starts.

what in the horsefeathers is up with this pitching staff and injuries?!

[Derwood]

So is 100% of our opening day rotation on the IL right now?

[Geographyhater8888]

At least we’re out of good pitchers to injure.
