Phil Rogers is having a meltdown on twitter over Russell. Just bad thought after bad thought.
Report: Cubs pressing some writers not to negatively cover Addison Russell?

Hard to believe they haven't pressed reporters for positive articles on Russell when you see what Phil did today.

I'm trying to make the connection you're suggesting here and I'm baffled.

Never go full Special person and Phil Rogers did just that. Want to back Russell? No problem. Thats your opinion. Trying to justify it by saying the Cubs went 6-5 down the stretch and started 2-7 because of Russell was a wtf moment.

Phil Rogers is a moron and needs to go away...
He had no idea what he saying anymore and talks in circles, I hate when they have him on Sports talk live

I'm saying the timing of this "report" (which I don't believe) and Phil Rogers' cheerleading of Russell is curious.

Not following. The Cubs put out a phony report so that Phil Rogers could come in and try to rehab his image?

I think Phil is under the impression that he kisses some ass here that he gets some perks others on the beat won't.

I guess that's why I don't understand: Rogers doesn't work the Cubs beat, and he isn't even employed by the Tribune anymore, as far as I know. His Twitter says he writes for Forbes, so why does he need "perks" or inside information from the Cubs?

What was said in the press release. Morrow moved to the 60 day. Russell back on the 40. 1 week is not enough time to get ready for the team. He is progressing towards rejoining the team
Now Zag is not even part of any rotation right now. Bryant has absorbed his AB's in left.
Add to it I really don't think any one wants to see Bote or Descanasio at SS is Baez needs a off day
But all things considered I don't see Russell as the starting SS anymore. He would be a UI.
