  1. I think it's because every AAA stadium now has Statcast data, cameras, etc, so opposing teams can far more easily and efficiently see every minor leaguers flaws and exploit it immediately in the majors. Caissie has a 30% K rate at AAA, it's going to be really ugly when he first comes up and I wouldn't be shocked if he takes over a year to become playable in the bigs (but I do think a Kyle Stowers-like profile eventually would materialize). The hope is Tucker re-signs next year and you have 4 established OFers and DHs. As I sad earlier, I think Caissie will need a lot of major league runway to become a productive big leaguer and he wouldn't get that if Tucker is re-signed. If he doesn't play in the big leagues, his trade value will diminish. Flipping Caissie for a controllable SP is the best way to manage assets. Replacing Happ's production in 2027 won't be hard in free agency/trade and you'd hope one of Conrad and Kepley prove themselves as worthy of getting into the same discussion as Caissie is now.
  2. Kaemyn Franklin signed per Kohl’s social media.
  3. Backup in case Hartshorn had issues with his physical?
  4. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa at Louisville, 5:35 pm Knoxville vs. Pensacola, 6:00 pm South Bend at Dayton, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach vs. Columbia, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs vs. ACL A's, 8:00 pm Both DSL teams have the day off Probable Starters: Iowa: TBD Knoxville: RHP Sam Armstrong (80.2 IP, 4.57 ERA, 4.16 FIP, 60 K, 26 BB) South Bend: RHP Erian Rodríguez (41 IP, 3.07 ERA, 3.75 FIP, 34 K, 15 BB) Myrtle Beach: TBD
  5. That’s slot for 61. That leaves $112,915 (plus slot $150k) for Franklin.
  6. $2 million is right between slot for the 48th and 49th pick. The Cubs have about ~$950k for Wing and Franklin.
  7. Might see some new names in the ACL lineup tonight:
  8. Juan Tomás: 0/1, BB, K, SB (7) Frankelly Desis: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 HR Wilfri de la Cruz: 1/2, 2 BB, K, 2B (7) Leonel Vivas: 2/3, BB, K, 3B (1), HR (3) Anthony Feliz: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K No Juan Cabada
  9. 22-year old Ronny López is getting the start for Myrtle Beach today. It'll be his first appearance in full season ball.
  10. Juan Cabada left yesterday's game after a groundout and isn't in today's DSL Red lineup.
  11. That's because Pipeline hasn't officially reported the other signings. BA has them all, but I think it's behind a paywall:
  12. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa at Louisville, 5:35 pm Knoxville vs. Pensacola, 6:00 pm South Bend at Dayton, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach vs. Columbia, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Giants, 8:00 pm - link to livestream of the game DSL Cubs Blue vs. DSL Marlins, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red at DSL White Sox, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Chris Kachmar (10 IP, 2.70 ERA, 4.81 FIP, 14 K, 4 BB) Knoxville: RHP Antonio Santos (54.1 IP, 2.15 ERA, 3.07 FIP, 45 K, 21 BB) South Bend: RHP Connor Schultz (45.1 IP, 4.96 ERA, 3.46 FIP, 46 K, 12 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Ronny López (Myrtle Beach debut; at ACL: 32 IP, 7.03 ERA, 5.29 FIP, 30 K, 20 BB)
  13. Edgardo de León is 4/4 with a triple tonight in the ACL. OPS up to .879. His strikeout rate was really rough to start the season but it's down to 29% on year.
  14. Juan Tomás: 0/4 Juan Cabada: 0/1, BB - left game early Wilfri de la Cruz: 1/4, 2 K Ivan Cespedes 1/3, HR (6), K SP L. Ghisays 3.1 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR
