Maybe Canario goes to 60-day to make room for Leiter?

Seems unlikely because he'd get major league service time.

But, as you say, it will be interesting.

Deeg, yeah, that looks fine.  What is the statistical basis of the question about his velocity?  Average, or peak?  Everybody takes something off on easy throws, but he seems to do that to greater extreme, which might depress his average velocity?

His max and average velocity on his arm is similar to Nick Madrigal.  87 max/78 average.  Hoerner was 90/85.  Baez was 92/87 with the Cubs.

Assuming no Canario move, what’s your best guess is the 40-man move to make room for a NRI reliever?

Tough call, but maybe McKinstry out and Craig's boy or Morel in? 

DFA of Wick or Sampson?  They're probably not in danger of being lost with their contracts.

Thanks Jeff.  Those are thoughtful options.  It seems like Wick's window of opportunity may be closing. 

With Canario:  How much do you think the service time would matter? 

Unlikely, but I can imagine a scenario where he's back playing baseball by late June; finishes the summer well; and then some injury early next season enables him to get a very early callup.  He finishes in top-3 of ROY and earns the Cubs an extra draft pick.  I'd hate to lose the draft pick for a couple dozen Tauchman AB's this spring.

Someone check on CBJ and make sure he's OK.

Apropos of nothing, Bellinger’s HRs sure are pretty to watch.

On that Dansby play, why didn't the 3B make an effort?
