According to Arizona Phil, he believes Brody McCollough did enough to warrant a 40 man roster spot to protect them. Do you think the same can be said about Kohl Franklin? I think he will ultimately end up a RP. Also Brennan Davis 4th OF next year for the cubs?? Maybe he comes back home.

That sucks. On the bright side, hello newest call up to Knoxville, Josiah Hartshorn!!

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Yes he is altering the outcome? He saved his best players for games and opportunities that would benefit him personally and financially. It’s not that difficult of a concept to understand.

I mean yeah perhaps but I don’t really care about the bookies. They aren’t necessarily the issue here.

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
He would literally rest his best players and save them for say, an ace start, or if he was getting a star player back from injury, and then place a bet when he knew he would win. This revisionist history bs needs to stop.

Josiah Hartshorn promotion to Knoxville makes all the sense in the world.

Also, is Kohl Franklin a lock for a 40 man roster spot to protect him from the rule 5 draft? Is his stuff still profiling like a rotation piece or is he ultimately destined for the bullpen like his uncle and finally, who makes there’s debut with the Cubs first, Franklin or Wiggins and when?

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Kane Kepley could be a September call up next September assuming his bat develops like we hope and there isn’t a lock out. Do you think there’s a spot on the mlb team for a player like him as a 4th OF or is he destined to be trade bait?

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
My tin foil hat theory is he will be playing LF for the Cubs probably next year at some point if there isn’t a lockout. I can dream on him in the 9th hole and with PCA coming up behind him and then Suzuki in a lineup. Still keep golden glove defense and just an absolute clinic of patient AB’s

Holmes, Brown, Steele, Boyd, Assad until Horton gets back. 2028 Horton, Steele, Holmes, Brown, and Assad would be money but by then you should have Wiggins and Townsend up, but Also Coppola, Birdsell. Capel. System is deep with potential 3-5 type guys.

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Seeing what Steele is will be crucial. Holmes resign is a must. Brown would be nice if the next issue can be put to rest. Worried about the long term on him and that issue cause if that’s a problem, sadly a bullpen will be his destination.

There’s still time for Southisene to develop some power. I wonder if he’s on the short list for teams to be asking for him.

I want him to succeed so badly. It’s such a good story.

Do you think it’s possible that Jace Beck is called up sometime in the next month of so? He’s been lights out. He’s rule 5 eligible. I definitely think someone will pick him if he’s not on the 40 man. Just seems like the time to pull the trigger is coming real soon.

And another cost saving move I feel. Somewhere in the 4-6 round picks for us we’ve gotta have an overpay on a prep arm right?

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
Gotta be a cost saving pick right? Cubs are cornering the market on players named Cade/Kade/Caden/Kane

It helps for the argument for Bethancourt that he can also pitch out of the pen!

Realistically what is there to prove anymore in AA? I wonder how far fetched it would be if god forbid Kelly or Amaya went down with an injury, would the Cubs FO consider an Ayers call up if they don’t want Balley catching every other day. I don’t think Iowa is gonna be a challenge for Ayers tbh.

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
I’m gonna say he’s in Knoxville come July 1st or at most by the All Star break. Honestly should be the choice for the Futures Game along with Owen Ayers.

Pete Crow-Armstrong homers on the first pitch of the night for the Cubs. His first career homer to begin a ballgame.

I’m feeling incredibly hopeful for this cubs farm system than I was 3 months ago. Hartshorn, Ayers, Wing, Kepley, Coppola have been such bright spots for the org considering how unwatchable the mlb product has been.

I fear he may be too good for single A.

He’s gotta be untouchable right? 19 continuing this in High A? Almost certainly gets a cup of coffee in AA by the end of the year?

Jordan Wicks barely makes it into the 3rd inning. Still giving him the benefit of the doubt due to injuries over the last two years. His changeup is too good to not play.

Why are people suggesting Gore being traded for a similar package as Juan Soto was in 2022? He’s a good pitcher but thinking a similar package would be used to acquire him just doesn’t sound right.

Really surprised it’s not Caissie.

I thought I was being fair too! I feel like Wiggins would also get traded.

Garrett J @gjohncubstalk.bsky.social · 27/07/2025
Do you think a package of Caissie, Rojas, Gallagher, Tomas and one of Ben Brown or Jordan Wicks would get this done?
