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. 

[Neuby]

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.

PCA on a 10 fWAR pace.

Ben Brown to IL with neck strain

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.

Somehow Colin Rea and Javier Assad will crack heads while reaching for the last shrimp on the buffet table, concussing each other

They might draft someone like Liam Peterson come July 11 and have him starting games in the majors within a week of signing.

[chibears55]

Damn...

They got Ben too

Brave of you to assume any SP in this system would manage to be healthy for a week right now.

Looks like I'm locked into the Mets broadcast again. They sure do hate their own team (pretty funny)
