Default Cubs calling up Addison Russell

He will play second base.

Russell is in the top 3 or 4 prospects in baseball. Some outlets had him ranked above Bryant.

Cubs mean business this season.

This lineup is going to be really difficult to handle within a month or two.

That was the point. Theo nuked the mess and built from the bottom up to bring things together at once. Brought in Rizzo, Soler, Bryant, Russell, etc etc. I think the timeline was originally supposed to be 2016- but it got accelerated. Will have plenty of money to spend going forward too and have the core position players, including Rizzo and Castro, with Bryant, Soler, Russell all locked in cheap for the next 5-6 years. So they can easily sign a guy like David Price in the offseason.

Been saying he needs to be the starting second basemen since October.

Great move.
Hardly. Just building and waiting for the right time.
