If you could extend one player who would it be? ISH95: I think the logical answer is Ryne Nelson. If Pfaadt earned one after last season, Nelson has blown away just about everything Pfaadt has done at this point so an extension seems logical. Spencer: Yeah for me it’s Nelson.

It’s hard to see him way back there, but that’s Kyler Murray on the bench now. Head coach Jonathan Gannon just announced that Jacoby Brissett, not Murray, will be the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback moving forward.

This morning, Shota Imanaga became a free agent when both the team (3-years, $57M and a no-trade clause) and the player (1-year, $15M) rejected their contractual options. And although there’s still a chance Imanaga could return to the Cubs in 2025 by way of the $22M qualifying offer or a new free agent deal altogether, it sounds like both sides are getting ready to move on. Or, at least, the posturing has begun. Shota Imanaga, the Cubs, and Free Agency For the Cubs, that looks and so...

The Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon made their final option decisions (which needed to be made by Thursday). There are no real surprises, though one of those decisions could have gone either way: The Hoskins and Quintana decisions were no-brainers.

Yu Darvish wasn’t a Chicago Cubs pitcher for too long, but I enjoyed it so much that I’ll always think of him as a Cub.
