I don’t suppose we’ll be hearing much, if any, baseball news today. With that in mind, I would like to take this to thank all of you for reading and also wish a warm holiday week to everyone. Celebrating friends and family is something we should strive to do all year-round. I’d also like to …

The Cubs had a seat at the table in their attempt to lure Japanese superstar Rōki Sasaki to Chicago, but that’s about it. The Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Padres are the young pitcher’s finalists, which means the Cubs will pivot from another miss. Jed Hoyer is getting blamed by some fans, but Sasaki didn’t eliminate …

Baseball Prospectus dropped its subscription-based Top 101 Prospects for 2025, and there are two things I wanted to point out that may not sit well with Cubs fans. Granted, we do tend to overrate Chicago’s minor league players in ways that sometimes seem unfathomable. For instance, Owen Caissie and Cade Horton are generally considered players …

Happy CubsCon Day to all who celebrate. I will not be attending, nor I will not be able to watch since I no longer subscribe to Fubo. Heck, maybe I’ll resubscribe. Sammy Sosa is returning to the organization, and I think it’s time the Cubs retired his number. You wouldn’t be wrong to say that …

Cubs news should come with a warning label for many fans because, despite evidence to the contrary, the phrase “we’re not done making moves” generally incites rabid interest in the top players available. I’m going to stay positive today, but before digging in, two things must be considered: There aren’t any top players available, including …

For the record, I believe Jed Hoyer is much closer to signing David Robertson than trading for Ryan Pressly. In case you missed it, the Cubs were reported to be near an agreement to acquire Pressly from the Astros, but nothing’s been consummated. The former closer, who Josh Hader displaced, has a full no-trade clause …

The Cubs may or may not be on the periphery of some big news, but they remain baseball’s biggest talking point outside Los Angeles. With that in mind, I thought I’d do a Saturday Rundown before pivoting to the NFL for Bears Insider. This stretch of cold weather also leaves me more attuned to the …
Now that Sammy Sosa and Derrek Lee have been inducted into the Cubs’ Hall of Fame, I thought it would be fun to create the franchise’s All-Quarter-Century team. Most of the names included played on the 2003 and ’16 teams, and some are surprises. The list is based on statistics only, so though I believe …

Good morning and welcome to Houston North, where the Cubs are accumulating Astros castoffs at the rate of about one per month. Is Alex Bregman next? That depends on whether Jed Hoyer will exceed the $241 million payroll tax threshold, surrender his second and fifth-round picks this year, and lose $1 million in IFA bonus …
Most agree that a brutal May and June cost the Cubs a shot at last year’s playoffs. Chicago was 10-18 in May and 11-16 in June. They needed a strong July to recover but could muster just 13 wins against 12 losses. That was the 2024 season in a nutshell. The Cubs led the NL …
