Joe Maddon has made it known he's impressed with Javier Baez's defensive play and the young infielder's baseball acumen, but neither the manager nor anyone else in the front office has told Baez that he has made the Cubs' Opening Day roster.
Maddon denied a report that Baez was on the final 25-man roster, and added that neither Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein or general manager Jed Hoyer gave the infieder the go-ahead either.
"I have no idea where that came from," Maddon said. "That hasn't been decided yet."

In fact most agree that they would do the same thing.

In an average year there are 183 service days in a major-league season, 162 games and 21 off days. If you accrue 172 days in any season, it is considered a full year. Six full years gets you to free agency. Five years and 170 days does not. If the Cubs wait 12 days into the 2015 season to call up Bryant, he would finish 2015 with less than one year of service time, 171 days total. The smart play is controlling Kris Bryant for seven years, not six.
Major-league debut April 17th at Wrigley Field versus the Padres???

Originally posted by Davros View PostTheo and Jed purposefully promoted Baez and Soler during road trips (Colorado and Cincinnati respectively) so that they could get some games in before facing a home crowd. I see them doing the same thing for Bryant, which makes the Pirates series starting on April 20th a better choice for a promotion date IMHO. The Reds series on April 24th would put him in a better hitters park for his first game, which also might have some appeal.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Originally posted by madducks View PostAnd promoting Bryant the day after his service time date passes would make the Cubs intentions obvious (they still are) and surely bring a grievance from the players union.
The real big picture seems to be Boras would like a CBA rules change. He has already calmed down on the demotion. He has already changed his rhetoric from big bad Cubs to issues with the CBA.
