2K23: Chicago Cubs

[rhd]

From RW:

Cubs designated 1B Eric Hosmer for assignment.

We expected that this was just a matter of when.

Christopher Morel has 7 HR in his first 10 games since being called up this year. So why is he batting 9th?

Batted 6th today. Oh...and another home run.

Another home run for Christopher Morel on Tuesday. He has homered in 5 straight games and now has 9 HR in 49 AB this year. And Ross had him batting 5th yesterday.

On pace for 95 hrs.

Ties Sammy Sosa with straight hr games.

Check for cork in his bat.

While this is bigger on power, this is an awful lot like what Morel did last year when he first came up. He looked amazing for a few weeks and then fell off a cliff. Not saying he hasnt turned a corner, but I'd be happy to sell for a good price.

Extremely hard to trade away or to trade for. Probably the best trading partner would be an expensive X contract who is rebuilding. Guessing Morel will be cheap $10 or under.
