I would go one step further. I would like to see a five man
starter rotation and a four man piggyback rotation.
The starter would go 5, or max 6 innings, and the piggyback
would come in for 3 or 4 innings (obviously any or all could be
taken out early if ineffective on any given day. the last four
would serve as long relief, set up men or closer.
It would have been easier if there were still 14 relievers
allowed, but I would like to see someone try it.

He's a rostered guy.

Seriously? Can't imagine they would consider him worthy of a
40-man spot ahead of some of the names they have.

$40 guaranteed over two years for Rizzo. That's a data point
for Abreu.

I guess I'm a broken record about this, but you have to minimize
40-man guys that won't contribute to the team in the upcoming
year. Kohl Franklin is more valuable than this guy? Largely
irrelevant.

I'm not sure that even applies here to a 27 year-old who's
barely had a sip of coffee in the majors. Maybe their scouts
love him or something.

Return is Alfredo Zarraga. Don't love that personally, as he
sounds like a guy with decent upside.
The end for McKinstry?

FWIW (not much), Gordon Wittenmyer is predicting the Cubs will
sign Carlos Carrera and Cody Berringer, but not Koudai Senga.
Surprising prediction from him on Correa, as cynical as he
normally is about the Cubs.

@MLBastian
Mastrobuoni, 27, has three Minor League option years remaining.
Across Aug/Sep before being promoted to MLB, the lefty-hitting
utility man hit .349 (1.021 OPS) with 8 HR, 11 2B, 7 SB, 34 R
and nearly as many BB (20) as K (26) in 38 games (170 PA).

He had a HR spike in 22, for whatever reason
maybe the Cubs
noticed something?
