Definitely nothing to be concerned about there. A stud young pitcher coming out of a game early with arm/shoulder discomfort never leads to anything significant.
I assume they're concerned about Brown's usage, which means a a shift to the bullpen in 2023 makes sense for a variety of reasons.
But I really want him to go back to starting as soon as possible.
I've been watching a lot of losing baseball lately. It's not great. Please beat the very bad Reds who are putting a very bad pitcher on the mound today.
Welcome to North Side Baseball, BTW!
And I just got home from an appointment, only to find... a no hitter happening.
Against the ****ing Reds, no less.
I hold the opinion that Stroman being so good he opts out is more likely to work out for the Cubs than seeing him stick around for a couple more years.
I liked 30 year old Stroman quite a lot, I'm far more wary of the 33 and beyond version.
