I’d be highly surprised if he didn’t. Can’t argue with the results though. Burnes has pitched 33 innings and given up 4 earned runs in last 5 starts. All with McCann catching him. -

Saw an episode of The Compound today where Ian Happ was talking about how many players will play for the stats - in particular, defensive metrics or even just the way WAR is calculated based on positioning. He said some infielders know they have better range to their glove side, for instance, so they'll shade the other way. But the metric dings them because they position themselves in the "wrong" spot. And yet, they're going to be paid based on WAR, so then they might instead choose to go into the "right" position even though they know they'd be able to do better where they're more comfortable. That was kinda stunning to me. Another thing he mentioned was how a left fielder, like he is, will let a ball drop for a single for better WAR points. I will have to go back and listen again, but I'm pretty sure he was saying that he will be rated higher if he lets it drop than if he positioned himself so he could get there sooner to catch it. Like, getting outs wasn't as important as getting credit for positioning in order to be paid more, since WAR is what's used to determine pay, and positioning is rated above catching the damn ball. It was ludicrous. The reason I'm adding this to this thread is talking about Cowser and how he is defensively. I often wonder why he seems so reluctant to dive for a ball that you'd see Hays or Mullins dive for in a heartbeat. Maybe this is part of it? -
It's hard to see the downside for the Cubs if they ask for the moon then keep Imanaga if nobody bites.
