The Cubs Chronicle

Paul Sulllivan reports in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune that the Cubs “are likely to lose minor-league left-hander Andy Sisco to Kansas City with the second pick of the Rule 5 draft.” (1060west first brought to that the Cubs had left Sisco unprotected.) Even if the Royals – or another team – pick up Sisco in the Rule V draft, however, it seems unlikely that a guy who put up a 4.21 ERA in high-A ball last year will make the team out of spring training, let alone stick with the team for the entire year. I assume the Cubs will eventually get him back.
