Hard to imagine he won't be called up once some parts get traded by the deadline.

He's got to be better than Bonaficio, Barney, or Olt right now.

Well, since Bonifacio has been on the DL for several weeks, I'd guess so.

 

They're not going to cut Barney at least without seeing if they can get something for him in trade.  The problem with Olt is what happens to him if he gets sent down to Iowa now that Bryant is there?  It's one thing that he's not getting playing time at the MLB level.  I'm sure they don't want to send him down to AAA and have no place to play him.

This team isn't the 27 Yankees. There's plenty of dead weight on the roster that nobody would want in a trade.

 

Outside of Rizzo and Castro, the starters on the Cubs should be role players or on the bench, and the bench players should be working the counter at McD's.
