Does anyone else think of the Cubs as some gaudy, nouveau-riche McMansion built on the site of a more stately home surrounded by sprawling testaments to wealth? But, like, the Cubs’ home was constructed somewhat shoddily because the owners wanted to spare some expenses by eschewing top-of-the-line materials. They’re living either above or below their …

It’ll be a while before we see this at the highest level, but MLB is testing an automated check-swing challenge system during Arizona Fall League play. The first use of the new system took place Tuesday at Salt River Fields, with Mets prospect Drew Gilbert and Yankees prospect Garrett Martin successfully getting swing calls overturned. …

Unless you’d like to read about Shohei Ohtani‘s shoulder subluxation or the Yankees’ chances to come back from down 0-2, there isn’t much baseball news to cover. I was going to write something about the latest AFL homer by Moises Ballesteros, but that happened two days ago and I just covered the same topic shortly …

This is a dark time in Chicago sports, so I’m doing my damnedest to find things that take my mind off of the ending of the Bears game yesterday. Yikes. While the pursuit of the biggest free agent in this upcoming market is typically a very disappointing topic for Cubs fans, this little nugget from …

In their never-ending quest for value, the Cubs built a roster around defense up the middle that could turn grounders from their low-velocity pitching staff into outs. The big problem with that concept, and with the broader avoidance of superstars in general, is that it lowers the ceiling while also raising the floor. The result …

The Cubs cleared three spots on the 40-man roster Thursday with Kyle Hendricks and Jorge López electing free agency and catcher Caleb Knight being outrighted to Triple-A. The first two were pretty obvious, as was the outright…other than the fact that very few outside the front office even realized Knight was on the roster. A …
I was wrong on this one, as ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel reports that Cody Bellinger has picked up his $27.5 million player option to remain with the Cubs for the 2025 season. Rather than simplifying things for Jed Hoyer, this decision could make the offseason puzzle harder to put together. The Cubs still need to add …
Ian Happ has won his third straight Gold Glove in left field, making him the first outfielder in Cubs history to earn that many of the coveted awards. Four Cubs infielders have won at least three straight: Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Ron Santo, and Anthony Rizzo. I was shocked when Happ was even named a …

In their pursuit of sustainable competitiveness, the Cubs are moving further toward a model-based approach that favors data over scouting. Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney went into great detail on the “rational, emotionless strategy” that some criticize as eschewing the organization’s financial might in favor of a small-market mentality. As anyone who’s been following the …
The Cubs made their first big move of the offseason Monday evening, claiming lefty Rob Zastryzny and designating righty Jimmy Herget for assignment. Zastryzny was the first pitcher drafted by Theo Epstein’s regime to make the big leagues and now he makes his return to the organization. I’m guessing the Cubs will try to sneak …
