@wylelias I wish Colin Rea could start in AAA but he has to be on the 26-man if healthy. (Maybe they fake an injury) But yeah with Rea or Assad or Brown in the Bullpen its 1 less spot for a RP.
I think Merryweather and Thompson are long shots to make the roster. Gotta believe Thielbar, Morgan, Pressly, Hodge, Tyson Miller and Rea are locks, at least to start. Brown is a lock if healthy. That leaves 1-2 spots. It would be nice to add another proven guy via trade or FA. Thompson has had his chances, and Merryweather huge question mark. And they’ll also give Luke Little a long look, if healthy.
Plus, there’s a whole bunch of other guys they signed to minor-league deals like Bickford and I’m not sure where Festa fits in. Plus the guy they got in the Bellinger trade, Poteet. It’s going to be a free-for-all in Mesa.
OHHHHHHHHHHH cmonnnnnn AJ…STFU with the Cubs hate already dude. ITS OVERRRRRRRRRR BRO. The last time you had on field relevance, Moses just turned 3 years old. And the messed up thing is, knowledge wise, I love the guy. Fantastic takes, great points but the piss poor attitude man. Let it gooooooo isn’t just a kids song chief.
AJ has been anti-Cub no doubt in the past, but I didn’t hear that here. There is a lot of anti-Cubs talk on these shows, especially Rosenthal. I don’t know where they got that list. No Eli Morgan? No Collin Rea? No Ben Brown?
@@gatorbite9816 Cubs bullpen is underrated and deeper than most: Pressly Hodge Brown Miller Morgan Little Thielbar Merryweather Pearson Thompson Kneely Poteet Palencia Plus extra SP that could be put in the bullpen with Rea/Wicks/Assad/Horton/Birdsell.
These dang Cubs are giving me hope in January. I hate it when the Cubs give me hope in January. It almost always ends with heartbreak in September.
At least they aren't the cardinals this off season 😅 whole lot of nuffin
Eli morgan, don’t leave the dude out he’s gonna be a beast this year
You guys are forgetting Eli Morgan for the Cubs & Luke Little
yup, thompson, thielbar, or merryweather most likely loosing out to those two. Also Collin Rea

good call. why aren't they on their initial list on fangraphs?
So funny when Barrett B-slapped AJ almost as funny as Ventura charging Nolan Ryan
It was a right cross not a slap from Barrett

Cubs have all ready said he is not the confirmed closer yet. He has lost a lot
This. Plus there's rumors they're still kicking the tires on bringing back old friend David Robertson.
Jed Hoyer is getting another closer that will not pitch well. He trying to do something. He failed the last two years. He should be fired
Astros golden era? That fool Chandler Rome has amnesia... Cheating era of the Houston Astros
I can't stand aj he's so annoying and a huge cubs hater
I’m always tempted to unsubscribe when I hear AJ discuss the north side. Probably will at some point.
But the Cubs are so easy to hate. Low hanging fruit.
Ever since that right hook he took, he has been a big baby about the Cubs
AJ has been anti-Cub no doubt in the past, but I didn’t hear that here. There is a lot of anti-Cubs talk on these shows, especially Rosenthal. I don’t know where they got that list. No Eli Morgan? No Collin Rea? No Ben Brown?
I highly doubt half the guys on their list will be on the opening day roster. We’ll see.
Ugh. Hector Neris all over again. This guy's stuff is too diminished.
Bregman back to Astros is 100% now
sorry pressly is washed
Pressly is not needed to save the Cubs season LOL he is another solid veteran arm that know how to get outs.

@mr.bohner6819 agree I like the bullpen after adding another solid arm in Pressly
@@mr.bohner6819This has better research than the show.
@richcruz17 nah I just know the Cubs well
