Cubs to call up top prospect Owen Caissie

[rockondlouie]

As soon we get past whenever that date is next week that's keep his 2026 rookie status, there's NO REASON whatsoever for the Cardinals not to bring up JJW!

News Flash BDWJr...........he will sell tickets to your empty stadium.



The Cubs plan to recall outfielder Owen Caissie from Triple-A Iowa, a source confirmed Wednesday night, adding their top prospect to the active 26-man roster in the wake of catcher Miguel Amaya’s ankle injury.

Caissie, a native of Burlington, Ontario, could make his major-league debut in his home country Thursday, as the Cubs face the Blue Jays in a rubber match. Amaya is headed to the injured list with a sprained left ankle, manager Craig Counsell said after the Cubs’ 4-1 win Wednesday.

Caissie, 23, has posted a .966 OPS in Triple-A this season. The 6-foot-3 left-handed hitter leads the I-Cubs with 22 home runs this season, and he represented the Cubs in the All-Star Futures Game last month

Mo is a fri gg in idiot if keeps pushing that bull c r a p excuse.

[smilinjoefission]

Sadly the Cubs are a better run organization than the Cards.

[swatski]

There are probably 10 players on the 40 man who the Cardinals wouldn’t miss at all going forward.

Yeah. Cards need Winn or somebody to get injured, like the Scrubs, to call up JJ

Did you even recognize why he's called up?

Let’s see:

Owen Cassie: 953 PA in AAA
JJ Wetherholt: 104 PAs in AAA

Cassie has literately been there for 2 years and had an .848 OPS last year, not exactly bad. If he was in the Cardinals system people would have been screaming for Mo to be fired for letting him waste away in AAA.

Well injured Cub is a catcher, not an OF

So your argument is invalid

[Jatalk]

Ok he comes up where is he going to play EVERYDAY????

[hmoss859]

Happ, PCA and Tucker play everyday

Didn’t keep the Cubs from calling him

And some would have said , ‘ Good, they weren’t going to rush him like they did JW ! Lol

I was wondering the same thing. They are set at LF, CF, RF, DH, 1B. I suppose he could fit into a 6-man rotation for 5 spots, and people will get adequate rest.

[BrummerStealsHome]

Best of luck to the young man.

I hope he has a great career in the American League.

I’m not sure we are set at any position but it seems if they had 2025 plans to bring him up they would had made some moves at the trade deadline to clear a position. Surely that happens in off season with Gorman, Sagesse and Arenado being the likely ones to move out. And I hate to add to the list but maybe Donovan. However when JJ comes up he needs to play on a regular basis.

I didn't know Cassie was a catcher.

Say's the moron who's been pining for JJ to be here for months.

[alw80]

JJ shouldn't come up unless he'll play everyday, so who sits?
