The MLB Spring Breakout event is coming up this weekend and it should be fun for those of us who just want to watch baseball without worrying about who’s going to make the team, especially when it comes to the Cubs:
As you can see, the roster is comprised of Cubs prospects who are notable but have not yet made their MLB debut:
I guess normally you’d see guys like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ben Brown in there too, but it seems the Cubs are more interested in keeping them in Major League camp for whatever reason, which probably speaks to their importance going forward if you’re trying to draw conspiracy theories.

Injury notes
Kilian is probably a 60-day IL guy to open a spot, Madrigal may or may not be regular IL but it’s not like you can rely on him all that much anyway given prior knowledge

Wesneski and friends holding most of the Reds A-squad down was nice, spring training caveats apply

Probably the biggest bit of schadenfreude yesterday, should I have used the term appropriately, is He Who Must Not Be Named having to pay to travel with an indy team to play in front of scouts again.

Going down the column I used Steve Carlton, Pedro, and Gaylord Perry and it still blew my grid up
Rice CubeQuote Reply
Blyleven, Mad Max, and Fergie for me. Just happy I avoided the most obvious ones. At only 5 options per with some overlap, that column was bound to be death.

Does the Cubs opening day starter come in gold, silver, or bronze?
Nope, Justin Steele.

Rice Cube,
I think the A’s might be compensating. They hired an architect with the website big.dk.
