The Cubs had Monday off, which also marked the halfway point of spring training. Let's take a look at a handful of Cubs pitchers who came into camp being somewhat under the radar, but have made the most of their opportunity so far down in Mesa, Ariz. Cam Sanders Although the major league team...
The United States were heavy favorites against Canada Monday night in the World Baseball Classic, but they still needed a mental reset after getting upset by Mexico the previous day. White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn set the tone early on and Tim Anderson was right in the middle of a nine-run...
You can never have enough pitching and it doesn't hurt to bring in a 6-foot-5, left-hander who can throw in the mid-90s. That's what the Cubs have done, recently signing Christian Winston to a minor league deal. Winston, 23, pitched four seasons at San Diego State University and added another year...
Much of the prospect talk for the Cubs in spring training has been around a few of the pitchers and top outfield prospects Pete Crow-Armstrong, Brennen Davis and Kevin Alcantara. But just like there seems to be some pretty good pitching depth coming up through the system, don't forget about Owen...
We haven't heard a lot about Javier Assad for a couple weeks because he's been with his Mexican teammates at the World Baseball Classic, but the right-hander made his presence known Sunday night and continued to make a strong case to make the Cubs Opening Day roster. Assad came in to face the...
The idea that you have to throw hard and the higher number reads on the radar gun means you're a better pitcher is too simplistic, but let's not overlook the fact that guys who have the ability to consistently put up big velocity numbers do have an easier path to success. Sometimes it does seem...
Several MLB writers and analysts had Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki as a breakout candidate for the 2023 season, but according to the Chicago Tribune, the Japanese star will have his season delayed because of a left oblique strain. Although no one on the Cubs has outwardly said that Suzuki...
Hand up, I wasn't paying much attention to Christian Yelich during his first full season with the Miami Marlins, so maybe he was pretty good out in the outfield in 2014, when he won a gold glove. But you know what, 2014 was a long time ago because this dude stinks out in left field now. But at...
Most of the starting pitchers heading into spring training knew their role on the Cubs, but right-hander Adrian Sampson didn't have the same comfort knowing that he was going to be slotted into the starting rotation even after posting a 3.11 ERA in 104.1 innings in 2022. No, Sampson has been one of...
These World Baseball Classic games have been filled with non-stop drama in pool play and it all began with Group A, that featured multiple Cubs and White Sox players on Italy and Cuba, respectively. Cuba and Italy were the two countries that advanced into the quarterfinals of the 2023 World...
People are saying Hayden Wesneski. Me, you and a lot of Cubs fans are people. The Chicago Cubs entered spring training looking to replace a recovering Kyle Hendricks in the starting rotation. The camp battle was a three-man competition, but as we get closer to Opening Day it is impossible to find...
We're two weeks into spring training and MLB's new rules that include pitch violations for pitchers and batters. It was a huge story in the first few days down in Arizona and Florida, but just like fans found out in the minors, the players are adjusting and the violations have decreased from the...
