MLBPA has sent out representation authorization cards to minor league players for them to request to be represented by the MLBPA.  big news.

Per Maddie Lee on Twitter...a bit of clarification:

Little is the sub for Sampson. The Cubs will get another replacement player slot tomorrow. Not allowed one for Steele for 3 days after his last start. (Doesn’t apply to Sampson bc he threw less than 4 innings in his last start)

if f.reyes is part of the cubs 2023 plans and he's gonna be a DH-or-nothing player how does contreras fit into 2023 at 20m a year (assuming qualifying offer and possible acceptance)?

we're talking about 120 games starting and some pinch hitting with reyes monopolizing most of the DH slot.

y.gomes may not be an ob% guy, but his 6m contract with above average D and moderate power could easily be shifted, and probably for something worthwhile while saving loot on the overall C core.

contreras is playing hurt.  you'd think this was the playoffs or something.  he's not sore, he's hurt.

cubs PA announcer jeremiah paprocki has a card + autographed card insert in this year's Topps Allen and Ginter baseball card set (out in November).

A/Ginter is a weird baseball card issue paying homage to oldschool 1800s tobacco cards that had baseball subjects and a wide array of pop culture cards, too.  their autograph card issues are all over the place in who they choose to include.  anthony bourdain had a card in the past...bill james...marc summers (the dude from Double Dare)...dr james andrews (the surgeon).

b.little is 5 pitches into his major league career and has given up 3 runs and his 1st HR (hbp, single, HR).

he turned a 1 run lead into being 2 runs down.

that is 2022 cubs as hell.

welcome to the bigs.

Phil:

With a 28man Sept roster now, are teams allowed to go to 15 pitchers, or capped at 14? I would imagine 15 is allowed, but didn't know.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
