So ... who's the fourth outfielder? Are Soler and Schwarber platooning? What is going on?

National League DH announcement coming shortly, imo.

They wouldn't add the DH until after the CBA expires, right?

I've been pretty vocal about not even like Coghlan that much, but he would've been nice insurance for when Soler inevitably missed 8 weeks with a hamstring thing, or can't hit because it's only 55 degrees out.

Just kind of surprised that he was basically given away. Maybe this means they're pretty confident in Javy's outfield abilities? Or they actually view Murton as a viable alternative?


They signed Fowler nevermind.

The Cubs are just gonna turn in a lineup card every night with a DH on it. Try to stop us.

The NL is adopting short-center AND the DH

Fowler scf
Heyward cf
Rizzo 1b
Bryant 3b
Schwarber lf
Soler rf
Zobrist 2b
Baez dh
Montero c
Russell ss

On the other hand, what would a package of Baez, Schwaber, Soler and Hendricks fetch on the open market? Royce Harper?
