Jaxon Wiggins

Um, the, two other questions for you, Leyla.

Where's Jackson Wiggins, and what about Asad? [laughs]

Uh, okay, so where's Jackson Wiggins has to be a [laughs] question we ask Jay.

That's our daily question.

I don't know if we have time to waste on that one necessarily.

This is, for me, maybe the toughest award to hand out in the entire episode because it's so weird.

My answer is Jackson Wiggins.

I understand what his fastball has looked like since coming back from injury.

I get it.

I...

There's not a lot of, honestly, there's not a lot of great options in the organization for best fastball.

And I think what we've seen flashes, like what we've seen from Jackson Wiggins means that he deserves that award for me.

So Zumeck, I know you had some takes on the fastball.

Throws to first for two, and the ball game is over.

Just like that, Jackson Wiggins throws one pitch.

He gets two outs to earn the save, and the Iowa Cubs have taken the first four games over this series with the Storm Chasers.

This afternoon, it's by a final of 6-4.

Where's

Jackson Wiggins?

Where's Jackson Wiggins?

But seriously, guys, that's it.

That is the microcosm and the example is that a texter says Shelby Miller, and if you missed the bleak news at the beginning of the day, you didn't see that he was also shut down.

Yeah.

So we've gone from...

Okay, you add Shelby Miller, Jackson Wiggins, and Justin Steele.

I don't know.

Jackson Wiggins is also doing well in Iowa.

I don't know that you want to take a rookie and bring him up as a power arm in the pen for those big situations, but I don't know.

You never know.

Mm-hmm.

You have to consider it, and I mean, like y- I mean, just total way of example, can you trade George Kirby and get like the Matt Shaw and, and, and Jackson Wiggins and like Javier Assad or, or I don't even know if he's still in the, [laughs] in the organization for the Cubs.

Yeah.

Yeah.
