Cool story for Charlie Barnes getting back to MLB after fours years in Korea. Expected to see him this year just not in April. Pitching depth is getting bleaker by the day.
It's a long season but with three starting pitching options down the Cubs can't afford to wait and not sign a starter of the free agent scrap heap and go over the L/T.
Giolito
Tyler Anderson
Alex Cobb
Nestor Cortes
Kopech
Losing Horton, Boyd and Wicks this early in the year they have to add an arm , otherwise at some point this season Vince Velasquez will be in Chicago.
They need to DL him take advantage of the built in off days. ZERO need to rush him now. Hopefully the Cubs don't do what they normally do not play a guy for ten days then DL him 30 days immediately after.
Really hope Brown throwing in relief yesterday was schedule related. Keep him in Iowa working on that Sinker and Kickchange they need him in the bullpen... yet.
