Cubs roster move: Caleb Kilian called up, Conner Menez designated for assignment
Caleb Kilian pitching during the Arizona Fall League season in 2021You all know the story: Caleb Kilian was acquired from the Giants (along with outfielder Alexander Canario) for Kris Bryant at the trade deadline last July.
Kilian absolutely dominated the Arizona Fall League. His overall numbers there don’t show it (5.14 ERA, eight earned runs in 14\u2153 innings), but seven of those runs were in one game, the rest of the time he was lights-out. And those numbers don’t include the six perfect innings he threw in the AFL championship game.
