I kinda wish they would have brought back Flexen. If he's eventually cut by the Cubs, I wouldn't mind picking him up. He at least ate innings last year and pitched to a 1.6 WAR (per BR). He settled on a minor league deal late in the offseason.
I’m not saying I would do it but just a gut feeling. Idk maybe classic GM thinking of “I didn’t draft or trade for this guy so I have no loyalty to him and would rather move him for another piece(s) that fits better for the roster” (ie: Quero)
