SHOW NOTES
* 385.
1:40: The Stro Show And Mo.
Marcus Stroman is signing with the Cubs, per @STR0 pic.twitter.com/Y5RKsRtR8S

I wonder if new #Cubs pitcher @STR0 voted for himself, which seems like something he would do.

I like the Stroman deal, but what's weird is how quickly he jumped at the #Cubs' offer. To beat the lockdown? Because pitching at Wrigley was so attractive? His agent couldn't shop him around more - no one else interested? https://t.co/RBLQ4ikIng

Mentioned this on radio yesterday, re the story out there that Carlos Correa called Javy Baez for info on playing for the Cubs, according to a source close to Baez, this call never happened.

Gomes is going to Chicago and his framing skills fit particularly well with how the Cubs pitch.

Pérez is going to the Pirates and I think better offense from the Gold Glover is in store.
All this leaves Willson Contreras firmly on the trading block.
