Will tomorrow be the day Conrad plays? Stay tuned

[Jason Ross]

Yeah. Send him to Iowa.

[muntjack]

Good lord. 

[Rcal10]

Ayers needs to go to Iowa. The best part of his breakout is if the Cubs really needed to they can trade Mo and Ayers can be the backup catcher next year. That is, assuming they thought Mo could be the backup catcher in ‘27.

I'm not sure if this is new or something that's been true for a while, but Conrad is listed as active on the ACL Cubs bench.

He's been listed as active on the bench all season. They don't have a short-term IL in the ACL so they list all active players on the bench and bullpen.

Yeah I was definitely guarded for something like this.  This was one of the few times I checked an ACL game live instead of after the fact.

That said, he's supposedly pretty close to coming back to ACL games. These days, I'm religiously refreshing MiLB.com for the ACL lineups 15 minutes before each game, hoping to see Conrad.

I was doing the same thing today

[JunkyardWalrus]

Every time someone writes 'Conrad' I read it 'Comrade.' 

I still don't believe he exists.
