Two things about all this:
1.) LaStella should be with the big club
2.) Coghlan should not
Agreed, but the Cubs have the opportunity to retain all of those assets. If they DFA Cogs, he'll get claimed and if Soler and Szczur get hurt again, they'll be back where they were. While that sucks for the Star, it is the price you have to pay when you have options and Cogs doesn't. Same goes for the Grimm reaper.

This. It's a pretty simple explanation. Just the way the business works.

But I don't understand why they feel they are better with Coghlan even if they can keep them all. If Soler gets hurt again, you bring back Almora. Boom, better outfielder and you retain La Stella, the better LH bat.
Guys, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
ETA: Not to mention that if the Cubs are thinking they will retain Coghlan through to the playoff run, then they must also think there is a possibility they keep him possibly over La Stella in the playoffs, which also doesn't make any sense.

Meh. With Baez pushing Zobrist or Bryant out to LF (in the Soler is hurt again scenario) , there is no lineup where Coghlan is needed. At some point you're getting too cute trying to stockpile 35 guys. Only 25 are coming to the playoffs.
