Cubs promote Maine, fill 40-man roster

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere... I didn't see it in the game preview or in the game thread.

But the Cubs made a roster move today. They promoted LH RP Scott Maine and optioned Justin Berg back to Iowa.

With the promotion, Maine was added to the 40-man roster, which is now full.

Discuss this groundbreaking move amongst yourselves.

(And this is the first fanshot I created, so here's hoping it turns out ok!)

Phew... looks ok.

Here is the 40-man roster, for anyone who wants a look. I don’t know how to put it into the description.

Shut up Joe Morgan.

Maine was acquired from the Diamondbacks in the Aaron Heilman trade.

In that case, it is a great move already.

Shut up Joe Morgan.

LOL...beat me to it.

I’m surprised others got the joke here….though I suspect the three of us qualify as old timers to a lot of the members here.

Glad to see him get a shot

It would be nice to have another in-house lefty option for next year’s pen. He can’t be worse than Berg or Schlitter, can her?

Somebody take Aramis' bat off the restricted list, please.

I saw him only once in Des Moines. A.B-D started the game. Maine came in to relieve. The whole game I thought the radar gun was broken because B-D never broke 85mph. Maine came in and it was consistently hitting 94-95 mph.
We are in the open tryout phase right now. Might as well let Maine have a crack, too.
