Here we are with lucky number 13 in our around the farm series. Triple-A Iowa Cubs: 2-8 Loss to Indianapolis Indians Biggest Yes: Greg Deichmann — 1/3, 2B, BB, SO, 2 RBI This game was abysmal for Iowa, so why not give the Biggest Yes to the only player responsible for runs?
Due to the Chicago Cubs having a roster crunch and needing an extra 40-man roster spot, Greg Deichmann was designated for assignment on April 16 to make room for LHP Locke St.

The full return for Andrew Chafin was announced late on Monday. The Chicago Cubs received two prospects, outfielder Greg Deichmann and pitcher Daniel Palencia, in exchange for the lefty reliever.
Scoring reigns supreme in the hitter’s paradise The minor league season is nearly halfway through, and the 2021 MLB draft begins today, so it’s time for us to check in with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators.
The Oakland A’s may look to offset the potential loss of left fielder Robbie Grossman with organizational depth.
