Will Cameron replace Lorenzen in rotation when Ragans returns? Back to Omaha?
AvatarJon Becker
2:47
Back to Omaha is the likeliest outcome despite how well he's performed just so they can maintain roster flexibility, though Lorenzen shifting to the bullpen certainly impossible. That's looking like a heck of a division race and they should make whatever decision they think helps them win more, which might be Cameron sticking.

The team being held back the most by a frustratingly cheap owner: ______ (Pirates, Royals, Orioles, Cubs)
AvatarJason Martinez

Probably the Pirates. But I think people should have a better understanding of how people with so much $ these days became rich. It's usually a failson or the failson of a failson. What motivates them isn't likely to be sports championships. This is just an easy way to make more money without having to actually be good at their job. That is most important in their circles.

Who goes down for Cubs when Shota is back? Is it Ben Brown?
AvatarJon Becker

Most likely. Rea's faded a bit lately and they might want to have him back in the bullpen, though they've already got Flexen as the long man. Brown was on a nice little run of a few good starts but then had two awful ones in a row, and the offense can't be expected to bail him out every time.

Ronny Mauricio. Let's hear it, guys.

He's crushing the ball in AAA, which isn't completely meaningless. But there needs to be a path for regular playing time and I don't see it. Vientos has been good over the past few weeks. McNeil hasn't been bad. Baty has been terrific. Mets would love for him to keep it up thru the end of July when they're looking to upgrade their roster via trade.

Any chance of Ben Rice getting time at 3B, even if he’s eventually lifted for a defensive replacement mid game?
AvatarJon Becker

I noted in last week's chat that he'd been taking some grounders at third "for fun" pregame, so it wouldn't completely surprise me to see them try it out. Don't think you want him at third when Fried is starting and getting a lot of soft contact but it could work okay enough playing behind other guys in the rotation.

What’s the frequency of the updates for the closer depth chart specifically regarding hot seat/on the rise? Jeff Hoffman’s had two straight clean appearances, so I feel like that seat isn’t as hot as it could have been. Maybe there need to be a warm seat before hot seat? Really enjoy that product (and everything else). Thanks.

I look at the box scores everyday and make adjustments daily. In some cases, it just takes one clean save chance for things to cool off. That's probably the case with Hoffman, although I might've held off because Yariel and Little have been so good.

Jac in Royals lineup June 10th vs Yankees?
AvatarJon Becker
3:01
That feels correct-ish. He might be in for a rude awakening in MLB considering how much he chases but they really need a jolt in that lineup.

That'll do it for this week! You can follow along here with all the transactions as Jason updates them. Have a great weekend and we'll see you next Friday!
