Getting some clarity on the roster for opening day. Sadly Seiya on the IL. Ben Brown makes the team. Assad to Iowa

So looks like

Kelly
Busch
Hoerner
Swanson
Bregman
Happ
PCA
Conforto
Ballesteros

Amaya
Shaw
infielder acquired in trade?
Alcantara or Carlson. I think Carlson cause Kevin has options

Boyd
Cabrera
Taillon
Imanaga
Horton

Brown
Rea
Harvey
Thielbar
Webb
Milner
Maton
Palencia

3 runs total in 4 game losing streak, Chris Sale tomorrow. Cool cool cool*

Boyd the hope is maybe 6 weeks.

Harvey just had another setback is being shutdown for a month.

Steele is currently shutdown and won't be evaluated for 3 weeks.

Thielbar is hopefully back in a couple weeks. He's throwing off a mound tomorrow

Martin is probably out another month at least.

Jaxon Wiggins seems could be back to making appearances soon. Jordan Wicks is back in Iowa but he's been terrible. Haven't really heard any updates on Brandon Birdsell.

I bet Jed is really strutting around the office. Good for him.*

He's hitting .292/.393/.438 over that stretch. And he's doing that facing a lefty often multiple times a game.

Honestly I've thought he's looked much more controlled all year. It's nice to see the results starting to match.

I just looked it up because it has felt like him and Busch are just constantly facing lefties

42% of PCA’s at-bats so far this season have been against LHP. 29% last year.

Because if his defense wasn’t so good he’d be platooned more and his offensive numbers would probably look better facing less lefties

I must have missed that game but when I've been watching he's had mostly solid at bats. If he can hit .250, take some walks and hit 25 home runs and play his normal excellent defense he'll be plenty valuable.

The pitching injuries are just a killer

Craig can’t rely on giving innings to a bullpen that is being stocked with replacement level guys like Vince Velazquez, Yacksel Rios, Charlie Barnes etc. so he’s forced to try to push a Boyd that’s not all the way back clearly.

Very bad pitching situation. Can’t afford to keep rostering these types of players. Need health.

Last week vs the Phillies was one of the best games he’s pitched with 26 whiffs and 11 K. Today only 6 whiffs and 1 K but 10 groundballs.

Curious if it was more him or the Phillies trying to change things up after last week.

It worked well on a night with the wind blowing out lightly. If he he’s able to consistently get groundballs with the wind blowing out or pitch like he did last week with the whiffs I’ll gladly eat my words on him.

Maybe the hamstring really was the issue last season.

He has such tunnel vision that he thinks an inning ending double play is the only way out of that inning. So, in his mind, Nico steals second and the double play isn’t in order anymore.

Nevermind the fact that Torrens is all world at throwing guys out. Or that you could go after the guy hitting .164 to get an out and take away the sac fly possibility and get out of the inning after that. Or that you could walk the next guy to load the bases and set up the double play again.

It’s not his fault he was saddled with this roster, but he’s been asleep at the wheel like this many times. He’s not a good manager.

granted in the bullpen they only have 2 guys you can really count on (O'Brien & Romero). I fully expect this to go where we all think it will come late May.

Meanwhile looking for good news the Cubs may have found a guy in Josiah Hartshorn

6th round pick last year out of California high school

Ridiculously early obviously but in 8 games in Myrtle Beach he's hitting .367/.524/.567. He has 10 walks vs. 1 K.

That's extremely impressive to go straight from high school and the Cubs obviously thought pretty highly of him in spring training when they were putting him in major league games.

One to watch out for. Potentially a kid who jumps up prospect boards pretty quickly.

was that he didn’t seem like a partier at all. But maybe that was the problem, he was the non-drinker who was being pressured to stay out and party and he didn’t have the tolerance for it.

He has no chance vs Sanchez

He’s been hitting the ball harder this year and making more contact in the zone so I’m kind of optimistic a bit on him. He needs to stop hitting the ball so high though.

Really needed that. Should have had it yesterday. Hopefully that starts something*

I think the Pirates are likely pretty good but losing 2 of 3 at home when you don’t face Skenes is tough.

Thought today could’ve been a good win and push forward but instead just another step back with a brutal way to lose.

It’s only April but it really sucks to get off to a bad start. Now chasing the 4 others.

Gonna have to do work to make it up.

Maybe ~$50 million

So the final 3 years are probably 3/$90-100

So ~3/$30-33 million aav

Those are the FA years or what he’s giving up by signing this contract.

Of course like most zero arb deals he could also stink and not be worth it and then he has it made.

He’s only 19 so he’ll get a shot at FA again at 28 which is not bad. Seems like a good play to take the money.

Obviously those guys are all going to have different career trajectories, but provides a pretty straightforward focus area in the near term of corner OF and starting pitching.

Hope Alcantara can take a step forward and claim one of those corner OF spots long-term.

Not a Cubs or Dodger thing other when they placed him on their active roster. So I guess carryover from the Dodgers not playing him a lot.

Also if you want to get really technical

Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=CanHartlebHireSnider' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 28, 2026, 11:37:37, in reply to "He's only in his 3rd season of service time. 6 years of service time before you reach free agency"

Technically the only players mentioned signed for the next 4 years:

PCA
Nico
Bregman
Dansby

These 4 have signed contracts through the next 4 seasons.

These players the Cubs have control over with their service time noted:

Amaya 2.130
Busch 2.045

They only have signed contracts for this season. The Cubs can choose after each offseason if they want to offer them a contract or not until they reach 6 years of service time. For the first 3 years the team can offer whatever contract the team wants and the player only recourse to play baseball is to sign that contract. Universally except for very rare occasions it's a 1 year deal for around league minimum.

Once they compile 3 years of service time which they will this offseason they have the ability to arbitrate their contracts. But it's still up to the club to decide whether they want to offer a contract and almost always offering a 1 year deal.

Also to note PCA only entered the year with 1.170 service time

Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=CanHartlebHireSnider' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 28, 2026, 11:46:14, in reply to "Also if you want to get really technical"

So they didn't have to sign to a new contract at all. They had him under control for the next 4 seasons already.

So the new contract is really about guaranteeing his first two free agent years at age 29 and 30 in 2031 and 2032. The next 4 years of the contract he will make likely around what he would have made anyways.

They feel it is a good bet to place now on a player that has displayed his talent and with his defense has a high floor. Not to mention the off the field elements.

Whereas a player like Busch is already 28 years old. His first free agent year will be at age 32 and he's a player that already has some limits (hope he improves against lefties) and will be entering his decline phase.

So unfortunately for him there isn't really any value for the Cubs to give him a payday.

Players can hit certain thresholds and receive bonuses if pre-arb.

So that helps a little bit.

That was put in under the most recent CBA and I'm sure MLBPA rank and file will probably fight to expand it in the upcoming CBA fight.

Last year PCA got $1.2 million in bonus, Horton ~$850k and Busch ~$500k

Which is all I'd been asking the last few offseasons. Make decisions that add to the team, not just replace what's outgoing.

Technically Bregman is a Tucker replacement, I suppose, but in the context of a Suzuki/Ballesteros rotation RF/DH and Shaw now being a supersub, we've come into this season with a deeper team. Assuming they make a move at some point before the deadline too to add another piece.

If he hits and contributes that’s great and helps.

Not every move means something else. Like how everyone decided that signing Bregman meant they were moving on from Nico or Shaw.
