They caught a bit of a break staying in AZ to start the season, but they play 7 in 7, which is an unusual way to start a season. So, they will need to optimize the bullpen and give some days off.
Yep...the game winning walk off by Freddie Freeman in the WS may have ruined him forever.Did you see who the Brewer starter was today? That's Yankee castoff Nestor Cortes.
It’s a 7-day process total if a team wants it to be. Often, they’ll spend the first 4-5 days working trades and then the last 48 hrs for waivers if they’re actually trying to move a guy.
The more I look at it, it looks like that with the addition of Turner (expensive and no options), there's really no place for Canario on the active roster now unless the Cubs have a long-term injury or make a surprising trade. I would really like him to get a shot with the Cubs, but secondarily I want him to just get a shot, and even though his injuries made it difficult, the Cubs did him no favors getting him such little MLB experience as his option years expired....
As long as Wrigley remains the country’s largest and most popular outdoor bar, seats are filed with tourists and the adjacent hotel is booked, winning is only a nice little bonus if it can happen, not a prime consideration.
He likely will be. Jed Hoyer needs an NLCS appearance for the Cubs this season in order to keep his job. Roster management has been a disaster the past few seasons.
In one way it’s good that he didn’t have a spot. Alcantara has more upside and he SHOULD be the first man up if needed. My issue is Jed got nothing for Canario when internally it became clear he was the odd man out.
Counsell gave up on this one. Letting Morgan stay out there to take a beating means he just wants to get on the bus for the airport.
Well when you bring in a roadie for Little Feat instead of a major league pitcher, what do you expect? 😡
