  • In his last 9 IP, Yu Darvish has 24 Ks.

    For reals.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

              • David Kaplan of NBC Sports Chicago confirms that David Ross is expected to be named the Cubs' next manager.
                Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago first suggested Tuesday that Ross had pulled ahead of Astros bench coach Joe Espada in what had become a two-man race. Kaplan notes that Ross' agent "has been discussing contractual terms" with Cubs president Theo Epstein and that a "deal is almost done." It sounds like there could be an official announcement as early as Thursday.

                    Me either.

                    I like Ross. Not sure I like him as a manager. Theo got me a WS in my lifetime. He gets a bunch of passes so I will trust him.

                    I think Ross will be good for the fans and media. I just hope he can win.

                          • Kris Bryant's grievance over his delayed callup in 2015 will be heard sometime this week, per David Kaplan of NBC Sports Chicago.

                            Bryant was first promoted to the major league level on April 17, 2015. Had he been promoted by the Cubs on April 16 or any day before then, he could have become a free agent after the 2020 season. As it stands now, he is scheduled for free agency after the 2021 campaign. It was very clearly an intentional delay tactic by Chicago's front office, and the ruling in this case could set a hugely-impactful precedent for top prospects and their early-career dealings with their respective MLB clubs.
