Thomas Cassidy
Now Garza is expendable.

I know you two were joking, but you do realize he’s a catcher, not a pitcher, right?
Thomas Cassidy
That’s what I figured after I read “catcher.”

They know. They’re just part of that sad minority that still think it’s funny to bust out the snark on all small signings for being, well, small signings.
Just be thankful they didn’t go for the world-series-here-we-come tack. That one’s even more annoying.

Orlando Cabrera County
Credit to the guy on the MLBTR chat earlier. I am sure his comment led to this post.

He will end up being Soto’s replacement and Castillo will be the starter. I hope they package Soto and Soriano somewhere and get nothing back.

Unlike Soriano, Soto has value. He’s a strong defensive catcher (27% CS rate) and has the potential to be a 280/390/460 hitter. If he is going to get moved, it won’t be until the trade deadline, especially if a contender’s catcher gets injured and/or if Soto’s having a good season.

Soto has less value you then the players the Cubs got from Atlanta for Derek Lee.

I’m happy to see Jason with the Cubs. I hope he gets a legitimate chance with the team this year.
Joshua Simpson
This is the Cubs’ overpaid hitting coach’s son. Ironically, he is bad at the plate. I guess Theo does do family deals.

I don’t believe he is any relation to Rudy. In fact, I can recall Len and Bob making a point of saying Rudy was not any relation to Jason on the Cub broadcasts the last few years…

Agreed – there’s nothing on baseball-reference or wikipedia saying that the two are related.
