Saw that the Cubs put in 2 claims.. Lopez and Moore
-
Also gives them a head start with working with and possibly signing one or two before FA period starts
-
True..lol
-
Depending on amount of teams ahead of ya, i remember when the talk was always about if you can be within 5 games of division on September 1st, you have a chance.
-
I didn't know you can win multiple claims at once, I thought if you claimed one, you gad to wait til your next turn to claim another.
-
They can add at least two more, the TOR they might trade for, others they'll invite to ST, also possibly Brown, Horton, Wesneski.. Theyll have enough depth arms
-
If Assad and Wicks gives them QS the rest of season, how do you not want both in the rotation next season with Steele? Theyll just need a TOR starter, likely via trade. TOR, Steele, Taillon, Assad, Wicks Of course Stroman opting in would change that but yea, they just need to add one top arm not two. Brown and Horton would be depth or possibly one of them and or maybe Assad could be used to net that TOR starter.
-
Guessing they'll wait til tomorrow when they can add to the roster
-
Horton and Brown may be the two starters to keep an eye next season for call ups and 2025. Hopefully the cubs can be in a position next years trade deadline that maybe moving a young SP prospect can gain them a top level player that will help them become serious WS contenders
-
I dont think they need 2 starters, yes it'll be determined a bit by how Assad and Wicks finishes the season out but if those two finish good, then they're set with at least 4 in the rotation ( Taillon unfortunately). I think their main wait and see will be with Stroman, I don't think they'll bring Hendricks back. Stroman though, if they're hoping to use his money and Hendricks money to upgrade the pitching, Hoyer may try and work something out with him so he doesn't opt in.
-
Big weekend Series with the Reds, not only to put distance between the two but to also gain ground on the two teams ahead of them in the Brewers for the Division and Phillies for no.1 WC spot as they both play each other.
-
Don't disagree but again, isn't it time to move on from Hendricks after this season over paying him 16 mil for depth? I forgot Stroman if he picks up his option
-
To take who spot ?? Aren't we hoping for Steele, Wicks, Assad, (stuck with Taillon) and adding another TOR type starter ? Edit : Also Stroman if he picks up his option Great that Hendricks pitching well lately but isn't it time to move on from him now? He'll be 34 next season
-
I'll be amazed if they get to 90..lol
-
Right, especially with just 3 head to head games left.. Take 2 of 3 here and maybe this will also cool down the Brewers a bit as they lose some momentum
-
Wind blowing in helps Hendricks but have a feeling he gonna give up a few runs
-
What a throw by Gomes Big inning by Merryweather
-
That suks.. had to get 1 that inning
-
Ross squeezed every bit of juice out of Steele tonight to get through 6 innings.. The pen and bats better not make it worth nothing
-
Phew.. Gonna need a quick 1-2-3 in the 2nd to make up for those 30 pitches.. Come on bats , score early and often
-
This could be their best chance to win one this series, hopefully Steele on his game.
-
I'm waiting to see where they're at after the Reds series, with 26 games left, this will give us a little better idea if they have a shot at Milwaukee or just hoping to grab a WC spot
-
That not good.. 12 ip 10 hits 3 walks 6 runs
-
Ross waved the white flag bringing in Smyly
-
Sadly, I think their only hope against the Brewers this series will be Steele tomorrow.
