There is a lot of excitement around Chicago Cubs baseball. Another top prospect received the call a few days ago, and in his first start crushed “Major League” pitchers. There are lots of interesting ramifications of the temporary call up, but one theme has really stuck out to me. This tweet here sums up what I have seen variations of written in various forms by a lot of smart people.
@dabynsky I think it’s about the signal it sends about how serious the FO is about winning this year.

There is no doubt that the Cubs record played a role in Kyle Schwarber‘s call up this year.
