There are reports coming out of Hawaii that Kolten Wong is being called up and is on his way to Chicago. None of the regular outlets (Goold, Langosch, team’s Twitter) have confirmed, however. UPDATE: Kurt Suzuki has Tweeted congrats and Goold now confirms as well.
A curious move. I have a blog scheduled to post in the morning analyzing this, but I’m curious to hear what Matheny’s thoughts are about bringing him up and how he’s going to be used. He’s not on the 40-man roster, but I don’t think they’ll have to actually make a move with the 40-man, though. Last I heard, I think it’s actually at 38 or 39 currently.
