An Owen Caissie Call-Up To The Cubs Depends On One Thing

Owen Caissie has been a gleam in the Chicago Cubs’ eyes for a long time. He continues to rip right through the minor leagues, making his debut in MLB inevitable. However, the Cubs won’t be so quick to pull the trigger. The circumstances need to be right.

Caissie came to the Cubs by way of a December 2020 trade that sent starting pitcher Yu Darvish to the San Diego Padres. Now in his fourth year in the Cubs’ system, Caissie has the promise and skillset to become a fan-favorite in Chicago quickly.
