Any positive news for slumping Cubs in minor leagues? McGrawDHSports Cubs
The Cubs were gifted with some time off Thursday from a miserable five-game stretch, which began with a two-day 27-4 mauling in Minnesota and ended with Wednesday's late-inning collapse at Houston.
Priester won this battle by a wide margin. He pitched 7 innings and struck out nine, while his Indianapolis squad won 9-1. The Cubs got Brown in a trade from Philadelphia for David Robertson last July. Priester was the Pirates' first-round pick, No. 18 overall, in 2019. Bullpen problems: The Cubs cobbled together decent bullpens the past two years by signing some value-priced veterans like David Robertson, Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin and others. In some cases, especially Robertson, they were able to flip those relievers for prospects at the trade deadline.
Hoyer likely expected to have some depth in the minors to restock the relief corps, but it hasn't worked out that way. Ben Leeper had Tommy John surgery, Codi Heuer has a ways to go in his return from Tommy John, and former big-leagers like Rowan Wick and Manuel Rodriguez haven't found their groove.
