It might be because I'm looking for it but there seem to be an annoying number of big time ABs these days with Happ up where I would really prefer Cody
Are we so close to the tax that a month of any of these guys would make the difference? Seems like this would fall under the "trade deadline fund" Jed supposedly always has, and the Cubs didn't do much in the way of money at the deadline.
Someone pointed out in the other thread though that the AL teams get first crack so it seems hard to believe the Cubs will get the people they want.
God it drives me insane when guys don't throw strikes. I know it's not that simple but it will take 3 home runs to tie the game from when Hayes stepped in, make him freaking hit one
To double back to this briefly, Verducci said it was the most anticipated debut for a Cubs first round pitcher since Prior, which did lead me to wonder if we'd even seen one since him.
He was re-signed along with JD prior to the '22 season, so probably not.
I haven't enjoyed the Boog era as much as I hoped to, but unless Len is coming back (he's not) I'm cool with him sticking around.
