Mesa Flats rotation Week 1 : Theda Gilbert

Theda’s backstory is basically “We made the most boring sim we could, can you be bothered to play her anyway?”

She looks boring, she has no part in the scenario, she doesn’t even own a pet or a house.

Okay, let’s move her in!

Joe Maddon Says Pedro Strop Is Coming Back(!) and Dillon Maples Is Heading to Iowa

Earlier today, Cubs Manager Joe Maddon hopped on 670 The Score to talk Cubs baseball with Laurence Holmes, when he dropped a couple of news-bombs I’m extremely happy to report.

Namely, the return of fill-in closer Pedro Strop!

We had heard some rumblings that right-handed reliever, Strop, might be activated off the Injured List today, but now we obviously have some more confirmation that it’s really happening. And I’m freakin’ thrilled that he’ll be back. The Cubs bullpen can use all the help it can get, and the rumors on Craig Kimbrel are pretty quiet right now.

Strop’s last big league pitch came all the way back on May 6th, making this a near-one month absence from the big league squad, as he’s dealt with his third hamstring injury in the past year or so. He has since made three scoreless appearances in Triple-A Iowa (3.0 IP, 1H, 2Ks, 1BB) and is ready to re-join his team, presumably as the immediate “closer,” to the extent Joe Maddon uses one.

Of course, as Strop joins the active roster, someone needs to come off and that someone is Dillon Maples:

In the same interview, Maddon revealed that Dillon Maples would be the odd man out when Strop returns, which makes sense as he was basically the last man in and he’s also got Minor League options remaining. Kyle Ryan has options, as well, and certainly isn’t a must-keep, but he’s basically the only lefty in the pen (Mike Montgomery’s role is a bit different), and Joe Maddon seems to like him quite a bit.

But this isn’t an indictment of Maples. In fact, I’m quite positive we’ll see him again before the season is through – he’s far too talented not to. Anyone that watches him pitch can see the promise wound up in that arm. And if he can find a way to command his pitchers a little better (9 walks in 5.2 IP), he might just find his way into high-leverage inning share of a competitive Cubs bullpen.

But for now, the headline of the day is the return of Pedro Strop. His presence will immediately transform this bullpen (although it’s far from fixed), as guys like Brad Brach, Steve Cishek, and Brandon Kintzler can all return to more comfortable roles.

These players could get qualifying offers today

Teams have until 5 p.m. ET to extend their prospective free agents a qualifying offer -- a one-year contract worth $17.9 million (the amount is the mean salary of MLB's 125 highest-paid players).

Players who receive a qualifying offer have 10 days to accept or reject it. That deadline is Nov. 12, at 5 p.m. ET.

Teams have until 5 p.m. ET to extend their prospective free agents a qualifying offer -- a one-year contract worth $17.9 million (the amount is the mean salary of MLB's 125 highest-paid players).

Players who receive a qualifying offer have 10 days to accept or reject it. That deadline is Nov. 12, at 5 p.m. ET.

The qualifying offer system has been in place since the 2012-13 offseason. In the six previous offseasons with this system in place, there have been 73 qualifying offers issued, and only five (Brett Anderson, Jeremy Hellickson, Neil Walker, Colby Rasmus and Matt Wieters) have accepted them.

The rules regarding Draft pick compensation for signing players who rejected QOs changed a bit with the implementation of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement prior to the 2017 season, and the penalties for signing such players are less strict. A complete breakdown of those rules is at the bottom of this story and can also be found here.

Below is a list of free agents who are considered candidates to receive a qualifying offer. Players who are traded during the season or who have received a qualifying offer before are not eligible to receive one. Some notable players who fit these categories are as follows:

Not eligible due to trades Manny Machado, Andrew McCutchen, Zach Britton, Nathan Eovaldi, Josh Donaldson, Matt Harvey, Brian Dozier, J.A. Happ, Wilson Ramos

Not eligible due to previous qualifying offers Nelson Cruz, Walker, David Robertson, Daniel Murphy (who was traded this year anyway)

We will be updating this list as we get news on qualifying offers. For players who do receive qualifying offers, we will include the level of Draft pick compensation that their previous club could receive if they sign elsewhere.

Could receive a qualifying offer A's: Jed Lowrie, 2B; Jonathan Lucroy, C Astros: Dallas Keuchel, LHP; Charlie Morton, RHP; Marwin Gonzalez, UTIL; Evan Gattis, DH Braves: Nick Markakis, OF Brewers: Wade Miley, LHP Cardinals: Bud Norris, RHP Cubs: Justin Wilson, LHP D-backs: Patrick Corbin, LHP; A.J. Pollock, OF; Daniel Descalso, INF Dodgers: Yasmani Grandal, C; Hyun-Jin Ryu, LHP Giants: Hunter Pence, OF Indians: Andrew Miller, LHP; Michael Brantley, OF; Cody Allen, RHP; Lonnie Chisenhall, OF Nationals: Bryce Harper, OF Padres: Freddy Galvis, SS Rangers: Adrian Beltre, 3B Red Sox: Craig Kimbrel, RHP; Joe Kelly, RHP Rockies: Adam Ottavino, RHP; DJ LeMahieu, 2B, Carlos Gonzalez, OF Orioles: Adam Jones, OF Yankees: CC Sabathia, LHP

Qualifying-offer rules explained Under the previous Collective Bargaining Agreement, if a team made a qualifying offer to a player and he signed elsewhere, it would get a supplemental first-round Draft pick (right after the end of the first round). That has all changed.

Under the new rules, if the team that loses the free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient, based on its revenues and market size, then the selection -- if and only if the lost player signs for at least $50 million -- will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A of the 2019 MLB Draft. If the player signs for less than $50 million, the compensation pick for those teams would come after Competitive Balance Round B, which follows the second round.

The following 16 teams currently qualify for these picks: A's, Braves, Brewers, D-backs, Indians, Mariners, Marlins, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Rays, Reds, Rockies, Royals, Tigers and Twins.

If the team that loses the player does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, its compensatory pick will come after Competitive Balance Round B. The value of the player's contract doesn't matter in this case. The 12 clubs that fall into this category are the Angels, Astros, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Phillies, Rangers, White Sox and Yankees.

If the team that loses the player went over the luxury-tax threshold, the compensation pick will be placed after the fourth round has been completed (as with the previous scenario, it doesn't matter how much the player signs for). The two clubs in this group are the Nationals and Red Sox.
