Yeah that's what I assume is the case. Ballesteros and Kelly and Amaya split DH and catcher duties the next week and then Ballesteros goes back down when Happ is ready, barring another injury. And to someone else's point, Ballesteros is not coming up to ride the bench.
-
Tyson Miller to the 60 day IL to make room. I keep thinking of Ballesteros as a Pablo Sandoval in terms of body and bat profile. We'll see how he does but I hope there's some future here.
-
I love it. My guess is he and Kelly take turns at DH (and Turner if he's not DFAd) with Seiya in LF.
-
Horton gets the W. He's on pace to win every game he appears in. Strange but true.
-
Lol some of those people are obnoxious. (It is not).
-
I'm a big card collector and literally pulled this from one pack 3 days ago. Talk about great timing. Hopefully it goes well!
-
Maybe there's an obvious answer but what's stopping the Cubs from DFA'ing Lopez or Brujan and calling up Long? He's mashing in Iowa and gives a little more time for Shaw to get right.
-
I remember people being mad we drafted Brendon Little over Nate Pearson in 2017. Well we basically traded them for each other with the Blue Jays and Pearson has been a hot mess this year while Little has a 2.00 ERA/2.38 FIP and 14 K/9 as the top lefty out of Toronto's pen and leading the AL in appearances (at least he was the other day).

I graduated college 15 years ago this month 💀 When I joined this site I was 15 and named my username after Prior. And now have two kids and am coming up on 40. Time flies. But I imagine the OGs here the same as they were 20 years ago.
-
Does anyone remember when Luke Hagerty almost made a comeback like 5 years ago?
-
Those were two early favorites of mine when I was little. Frank Castillo too, who also passed..... Am I a Sixth Sense?
-
I was eyeing Joe Ryan in the offseason. He'd be a hell of a pickup at the deadline. But agreed that for now we should work with what we have.
-
Yeah I got that all backwards. I think I meant to just say Soler hit a homer in the game.
-
Kyle Hendricks in his last start gave up a homer to Jorge Soler and was replaced in the game by Carl Edwards Jr.
-
Lt. Dans getting his groove back would be a nice boost to the lineup.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Appreciation Thread

brb holding PTR hostage until he signs off on a PCA extension -
I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere else but Nico has not swung and missed at a pitch in the zone all season. 😮 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/nico-hoerner-is-flirting-with-perfection

Workman traded to the White Sox for the well-traveled Cash Considerations.
-
I really wanted Workman to work out and am still hoping a minor deal can be made to keep him in the system. But so it goes. Not sure I get the Nicky Lopez love. We already have Berti and Brujan. If it's about 3B or another infielder I'd rather give Triantos a go.
-
We are looking into old lefties. Dick Mountain has entered the chat. (as an aside, I miss The Dugout/the internet in 2007).
-
I mean all jokes aside, he's always had the stuff. We dropped the ball on getting a good lefty this offseason and Little and Wicks pitched like ass the last week. I still believe in both but they didn't earn themselves another look just yet. See if Pomeranz has anything or go back to the drawing board.
-
Oof. Bummer but he'll be back soon. Full series of moves is: Shaw and Pearson to Iowa Little, Palencia up from Iowa Brujan off the IL to the MLB roster Morgan to IL I was a fan of Morgan coming into the season. His numbers are skewed bc he got absolutely skewered in two outings and one of those is apparently due to injury. Hopefully he gets healthy and comes back well but they probably then keep him in Iowa for a bit. I'm guessing they start Workman at 3B for a couple games but Berti and Brujan get looks too and it's a way to figure out how everyone fits while Shaw gets it together in AAA.

Minor League Musings
Post Count Padder replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I hate what happened to Steele but I'm exciting about the possibility of getting MLB innings from Horton this season. -
I mean, I hate it didn't pan out but I'm happy for him over there and will be rooting for him. It honestly looked like he might just get released to go overseas or something so like we found out with Canario and Killian and Arias, there likely wasn't a ton of interest. Brujan himself was a former top prospect but I imagine his time with us will be ending shortly.

Uhhhhhh is this guy legit? Has over 100k followers https://x.com/hgomez27/status/1911207956005220426 Héctor Gómez @hgomez27 SOURCE: Kyle Tucker and the Cubs' potential contract extension is in the range of 10-11 years and $450-500 million. According to the source, the possible extension will not contain any deferred money or opt-out opportunities with a full no-trade clause. First on it: @mikedeportes .
