i wish c.morel would wear his eye black with 3 lines instead of 2 lines so he'd look like a kitty cat.

oh, i wish he'd K less, too...but i'd be fine with just the cat thing.

Even if it is just a weeknight game in September during a highly forgettable season; it's always nice to beat the Mets.

I'll be curious to see how front offices respond to the shift ban when they are making offers to lefty sluggers like Rizzo this offseason.

ortega may have broken a finger on a bunt attempt...or the cubs are using an abundance of caution...

It's been announced on Twitter that Alzolay is going back up over the weekend for bullpen help. 

Who gets sent down/DFA'd?

minor leagues have officially formed a union.

17 days from the launch of the campaign, to the vote for representation, to formation.

last weekend MLB said they would accept a union if it had majority support.  “Based on the authorization cards gathered, MLB has voluntarily and promptly recognized the MLBPA as the representatives of minor league players. We are hopeful that a timely and fair collective bargaining agreement will be reached.”

2021 and 2022 has been a hell of a couple years for labor in all aspects of society.

Things the MLBPA will want to try and get changed right away would be an increase in minor league minimum salaries (probably at least a 50% increase per level and/or per years of minor league service), a "living wage" per diem and housing allowance, fewer games and more off days, getting paid for Spring Training, and getting paid for bereavement, paternity, and family medical emergency leave like the big leaguers do (at present minor leaguers absent for a childbirth, death in the family, or family illness are placed on the unpaid generic "Temporarily Inactive List"). 

Also note that players in the DSL will supposedly NOT be represented by the MLBPA, so $3,000 per year will probably remain the salary there, with players living in dorms and eating in dining halls at the academies.

Phil -- do you think this will lead to further contraction of the minor leagues? We've already seen the short season low A leagues disappear. Do you have any gut feeling about that? When labor costs increase, there usually is some kind of response - raising of prices, cutting expenses elsewhere, etc.

Sweeping the Mets in New York is never less than a cause for glee. Channeling my inner Ron Santo tonight!

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
