The Chicago Cubs have some roster turnover with the promotion of an interesting prospect who has hit at the minor league level, but it hasn't quite translated to the MLB yet.
Throughout the winter, there was rumor after rumor about who they might target to come in and become the everyday player in that role.
The deal has worked out great for Chicago so far as Busch is slashing .309/.385/.618 with a team-leading six homers and 15 RBI entering Tuesday., Mervis is going to get another opportunity with the Cubs after they decided to call him up alongside pitcher Hayden Wesneski. He climbed quickly through their pipeline, going straight from Single-A in his first professional season to finishing the year at Triple-A. He then started 2022 at the High Single-A level before making it to Triple-A again, appearing in 57 games.
The Cubs are hoping he can become much more comfortable in the Majors this time around as they are giving him another shot to show them what he can do after deciding to designate veteran Garrett Cooper for assignmentThis decision comes at an interesting time considering Cooper has slashed .270/.371/.432 and is tied for eighth on the team with six RBI.
