Cody Poteet is most likely ticketed for the Iowa rotation. Still he has good stuff and could get a cuppa or a short stint in The Show. He’s a starter but I don’t think he cracks Chicago’s rotation unless there’s a skein of injuries. If it’s 1985 all over again, he’d be the fourth or fifth guy to come up. He’s not going to make anyone forget that he was traded to the Cubs for fan favorite Cody Bellinger.
The 30-year-old San Diego native bears a career 1.3 bWAR (fWAR is a wash) for pitching in parts of three seasons in the Major Leagues, with Miami and the New York Yankees, in 2024.
