That why I think he'll go to the pen, he'd be perfect as a spot starter and long reliever
-
He did and it was a career season for him at age 34, so he'll be 35 next season. Outside of starting the season in rotation until Steele returns, who would he replace in the rotation afterwards? Horton Imanaga or Taillon, or do you think they won't add another SP?
-
I think depending on how season going, they'll look to move both Happ and or Suzuki during the season. If they really want to start Mo at DH on opening Day, then Suzuki will just start in RF until if or when they feel Caissie is ready to take over and look to trade Suzuki
-
Was thinking about Boyd Rea and the Cubs Rotation for 2026. They definitely need to get a solid TOR guy in the offseason, and they'll have Steele(June), Taillon, Horton and probably Imanaga. Boyd will likely start the season in rotation in place of Steele, but afterwards would he eventually be a good fit for the bullpen as long relief/spot starter? Same with Rea if they pick up his option. I wouldn't mind having two veterans like them as SP depth in the bullpen, that could easily go 2-4 innings if needed, a lefty and righty.
-
I doubt they trade Caissie, he'll be starting at some point next season..
-
Hoyer would need to get creative with trades if he going to change up the lineup over going with the same guys and add a stud SP, especially if he needs to stay a certain amount under the Threshold again.
-
I mentioned getting an Ace to go with Steele, Horton, Taillon, Imanaga There's no journeyman there
-
That was my way too early guess as Tucker replacement and to hold down RF until Caissie was ready..lol
-
Probably be easier to get Suzuki to agree to waive in offseason more than Happ, especially if they tell him he'll split some time as DH with Ballesteros, but i think both stays until at least the trade deadline depending on how season is going. They're more likely to agree to waive then, especially if there's no chance of extending and they get moved to a playoff contender.
-
Who the Journeyman?
-
Gotta go get the best hitting RFer available 🤷♂️😆😏
-
Yes, that huge being able to have that one guy who can carry the rotation and eat innings in the playoffs to save the bullpen. Cubs don't have that Ace, they need to find that guy to go with Steele Horton Taillon and likely Imanaga. That would be a solid rotation
-
The hottest hitter in April makes the last out of season... Hope Hoyer improves this team over the offseason, be nice to return to the postseason with a better and healthier roster next year.
-
Do what Bellinger did and take advantage of that short porch in RF
-
One of 3 likely happens in 9th... They go down easily 1-2-3 Someone hits a solo shot They get baserunners and don't tie it up
-
Tucker gets another opportunity
-
Only nice thing i guess is that we can see score keeper Amy a couple more times..lol
-
Watch someone hits a solo shot now
-
Go Mariners, get your first championship
-
Ballgame... It was a fun series 😏
-
Same, it would be awesome to knock out the Brewers but I think it will be a quick ugly series facing the Dodgers for either team.
-
If these are their final AB of the season, theyre looking pretty pitiful right now. Almost looking like theyre just swinging to swing with nothing behind it.
-
I predict..lol If the Cubs get the lead, they're holding and winning this game
-
Probably if it goes extras
-
Normally I'm all for a Sac bunt in situations like this late in games, but Tucker supposed to be the guy to drive in these big runs not bunt them over.
