Ok thanks. So he'll choose FA most likely. Worst case for him is he resigns with the Cubs and goes to Iowa, but that's very unlikely. Imagine someone desperate might pick him up as FA and adds him to their 26 man
I hope we don't have that feeling where it's 30 mins past the deadline and we're waiting for the Cubs to do one more move and haven't heard anything and just waiting for a late announcement that never happens LOL
I think this move was to clear space to make room for PCA in AAA, and add some relief depth in Iowa.
I don't think any of the relievers traded for so far will end up on the MLB team soon, more trades to come for legit relievers.
Morel sucks in the field except maybe middle infield so can't blame them. Partly the Cubs fault for making him play a ton of positions and trying to make him a super utility guy, which was a terrible decision for a guy with little fielding skills to begin with.
Candelario can't really hit LHP so I could see a platoon there, some starts from Madrigal or wisdom vs LHP.
Really terribly ABs lately, half swinging on everything. I'd consider benching him some this series. He's just bad at recognizing pitches, he's a pure guess hitter.
Stroman had to do better yesterday, you can't give up 6 runs early.
