"Only problem is that, between the game being in Goodyear and several players having left for the WBC, it's a thin lineup. Teams used to be fined for not sending a requisite percentage of regulars to away games in spring training, but MLB has relaxed that rule this year."
"You know things are rough when giving up three earned runs over two innings actually lowers your ERA by four points. Taillon has given up four dingers so far and now has a chance to pad his lead over Shōta Imanaga, who surrendered three in yesterday's game."
"Singer, the 18th overall pick by the Royals in 2018, was the return for Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer in November of 2024. He'd been a reliable, if at times inconsistent, starter who managed to stick around despite a very narrow repertoire and a lack of fastball velocity."
The Cubs play the Reds on Monday in spring training with a thin lineup featuring backup players and prospects, as several regulars are competing in the World Baseball Classic. MLB relaxed fining rules for teams not sending requisite percentages of regulars to away games this season. The Cubs will broadcast on Marquee for the second consecutive game. Jameson Taillon has struggled significantly through two starts, allowing four home runs and giving up three earned runs over two innings. Brady Singer, acquired by Cincinnati in a trade involving Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer, makes his Cactus League debut for the Reds. Singer is a right-handed pitcher known for relying primarily on a sinker-slider combination with limited fastball velocity.
