Shaw being promoted to TN to finish the season and help TN make the playoffs.

Pretty well earned.

If he were with the LA Angels right now he'd be playing with Ohtani this week

The wind blowing in was a significant factor but that's the beauty of Wrigley. Ross in postgame was asked if Steele was able to take advantage of the park conditions but (of course) said that he was just sticking to his game plan. Steele was running a high pitch count from the 1st inning, so the fact that Ross let him get through 6 IP at 111 pitches shows Ross doesn't pull everyone at 4 2/3 IP. 15 wins with about 6 more starts. Cool. Love his consistency.

Des Moines Register reports Canario will be in AZ Fall League. Makes sense to do this for Canny.  He missed a lot of reps.  Probably means he won't see any time in Chicago this Sept. Iowa Cubs probably won't make the playoffs (they could) so their season will end on Sept 24th. I guess Canny could get promoted for the last week, but it would have to be for Wisdom and I don't think Jed/Ross would do that.

Yippee!!

    I hope that Perlaza goes on to have a successful career.  On most Cubs teams prior to the current administration, he would have been one of their more highly ranked prospects.  As far as the others are concerned, one or more may well go on to be much better than expected, but unfortunately there is no way to tell which one at the present time.  You can't keep everyone.

    s.gray signs with the cards...3/75m

    Another one of the nine Cubs post-2023 Rule 9 minor league 6YFA has signed, as RHP Carlos Guzman (acquired from the Tigers for Zack McKinstry at the end of Spring Training) signed a 2024 minor league contract with the Mets. 

     

    So RHRP Yovanny Cruz (SD), C-INF P. J. Higgins (CIN), and now Carlos Guzman (NYM) have already signed 2024 minor league contracts with new MLB organizations, and OF Yonathan Perlaza is headed for Korea (Hanhwa Eagles).

    ...and back to 3rd for another game.  at this point i'm gonna hang back and when/if he actually plays 1st then i'll find it notable.  i am glad he's playing a good amount of 3rd, though...give the club one more good look at him there.  shrug
