One major spring training battle is the fifth spot in the starting rotation for the Cubs and last week David Ross revealed the three pitchers at the top of the list competing for the job. No real surprises and fans did get the confirmation about two other pitchers who have been in the rotation in...
Jed Hoyer entered the offseason with a clear objective to make the Chicago Cubs a competitive team from the very start of the 2023 season. The Cubs played much better in the second half of 2022, led by an impressive performance from the starting rotation and they got rid of some dead weight from...
The Chicago Cubs have made a move that immediately got fans thinking about a potential trade happening elsewhere on the roster, as the team announced the signing of free agent infielder Edwin Rios on Friday night. The power-hitting lefty adds more intrigue to spring training for the Cubs, who...
This was pretty much expected, but in case you needed any more of a confirmation, Manny Machado told reporters on Friday that he will be opting out his contract with the San Diego Padres following the 2023 season. Machado, 30, signed a 10-year, $300 million deal with the Padres prior to the 2019...
Heading into the offseason Cubs fans knew immediately who the front office was targeting at the top of the free agent market. They were in on the top-four shortstops to varying degrees and ultimately signed Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million contract. Swanson was viewed as the fourth-best...
While much of the focus this week has been around Mike Clevinger, White Sox fans do have other players to pay attention to in spring training and that includes Andrew Vaughn.

Olivia Finestead was on 670 The Score Wednesday, detailing the allegations she made toward pitcher Mike Clevinger. Finestead joined the Parkins & Spiegel Show and discussed several aspects of this story, including why she began to communicate with MLB in its investigation of the allegations toward...
I've leaned toward the optimistic side when it comes to evaluating Jed Hoyer and the Cubs on their moves this offseason, but there's still one thing that fans can mostly agree on and that's wanting to get an extension done with now starting second baseman Nico Hoerner. Spring training is underway...
The Cubs had their first workout in spring training Wednesday, as pitchers and catchers officially reported to camp. Most of the offseason focus has been around the additions via free agency to the starting lineup, but the Cubs have also been quietly gathering a large group of pitchers to compete...
Pitchers and catchers have their first spring training workout on Wednesday for the Chicago Cubs, but there are already several position players in camp down in Mesa, Ariz. While most starting jobs around the diamond are set for manager David Ross, the coaching staff still has to make a handful of...
The Chicago Cubs are preparing for the start of spring training and several players in the organization are also getting ready to play in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The international tournament is back for the first time since 2017, when the United States won the championship over Puerto...
There is no doubt the Cubs got better this offseason, signing a whole bunch of free agents to raise expectations that were way low a year ago. However, their projected wins from ZiPS also points to the Cubs not being overly aggressive at the top of the free agent market. The acquisitions have been...
