    This is where I'm at with it. Basically can the Cubs allocate one COF spot with Shaw and PRam and the other serving as the tenth man? That's my preferred route. KA could make sense as a backup OF as well, but he's in a tricky spot. He doesn't seem to generate much trade interest so it could just make sense to hold and let him hit LHP next year and in good match ups.

    Believe the Cubs have been in on Dylan Carlson for a couple years now. He’s dealt with some injuries and there’s some talk that he might have turned a corner there. I’d be pretty skeptical there but sometimes you get a good season from someone if they have a lucky healthy season

    The health risk is likely what shifted things so substantially. Caissie, Rojas, couple more guys in the mix in the top ten in the system. Big ask Cubs did extremely well on this deal but im going to be watching Cabrera’s health status because I think that’ll factor in heavily here.

    I thought David Kelton was going to rake

    Ian Happ has expressed a commitment to be in Chicago and while that doesn’t mean he would never waive his no trade clause, I think the power of that NTC would significantly hamper any possible return

    Not necessarily what I’d do but I believe it’s going to be Shōta: decline Kittredge: decline Rea: accept

    I meant getting one more inning out of Pomeranz this series and no I meant “certainly didn’t think he was outmanaged”. I’ll edit, but that’s what I meant. The Cubs played short-handed and Counsell managed things well to even get them to that point. I didn’t get this article seemingly acting like Murphy was just managing circles around Counsell. Didn’t feel that way at all.

    Pomeranz has held righties to a .305 wOBA with a 15.4% K-BB%. since around the middle of September including the postseason coming into yesterday it was a .303 wOBA with a 42.5% K-rate. He’d been on a roll. Overexposed sure. The entire pen has been. I don’t think it was “outmanaged” to see if you could get one more inning out of Pomeranz while also changing the lineup of Milwaukee. The Brewers won. The Cubs ran out of steam. I think Counsell isn’t some savior but he’s helped the Cubs weather the storm this season and got them there. Lot of teams would have folded. The Cubs got back into it and forced that game. The only quibble I had was Rea facing Vaughn. The other moves made sense. Certainly (edit: missed a key word) didn’t* think he was outmanaged

    Believe Soroka will be coming up. 2 inning role

    15-14 or 16-13 feels like a tall order? Come on man, they’re 13-12 in August, 14-10 in July. Their worst full month of the season was June’s 13-13. Not going 15-14 the rest of the way would be a poor percentile outcome.

    We bonded early because of the pharmacy school aspect and I've just rooted for him ever since so I'll acknowledge the bias there, but I would love to see him earn that 40-man slot this season

    Sounds like Wiggins very unlikely to be a September option. Riley Martin though, he'd be a guy to watch there. You could mix him in there with some of the SP depth and then Soroka when healthy should be a shorter outing option.

    Unfortunately I don’t believe so. Hartshorn and Wing are just going to be pricey. They’re valuing those guys very well

    Big signing day today. Believe there will be 10 or so draftees in Mesa

    Barnett is their insurance policy. I think mostly with Hartshorn. If something red flags with him, they can offer Barnett a bunch and have a good chance. Barnett was originally one of their 11th round overslot options when they had game planned to have extra money.
