You know the countless rumors a decade ago about the Cubs and Brian Roberts and now the recent rumors about the Cubs and Whit Merrifield? So much noise, but nothing actually happening. Well, the Yankees also have a player that they've been interested in for a while, but despite the building...
Nick Castellanos made it clear during his time with the Cubs in 2019 that he'd love to return in 2020 and beyond. The Cubs want him back too, as there have been several reports saying both sides are interested in a reunion. However, the Cubs appear to be operating under financial constraints for...
Although the Cubs didn't sign a free agent during the Winter Meetings in San Diego this week maybe they did enough to convince center fielder Shogo Akiyama to ultimately pick them in a couple weeks. According to a Japanese report late Friday night, Akiyama negotiated with four teams in San Diego...
The Cubs are bringing back right-handed reliever Brandon Morrow, re-signing the pitcher to a minor league deal. According to Bob Nightengale, Morrow can make up to $1.25 million in incentives. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1205609241257496576 Morrow, 35, hasn't pitched since July 2018. He...
Although the White Sox opted to pass during both rounds of the MLB portion of the Rule 5 draft they did pick up one player in the minor league phase on the final day of the Winter Meetings in San Diego Thursday. Eleven players were picked in the MLB part of the Rule 5 draft and although rosters...
Hey, did you know that Sports Mockery has a Chicago baseball podcast? Well, here's another reminder that a new episode of Pinwheels and Ivy Podcast comes out every week and we're teaming up with TixBlitz to give away two free tickets to the 2020 White Sox homer opener at Guaranteed Rate Field. Just...
The Cubs signed Yu Darvish to a six-year, $126 million contract after the 2017 season and through the first 1.5 seasons it looked like the deal would be a complete disaster. However, Darvish rebounded from his arm injury and slow start in 2019 and became one of the best pitchers during the second...
Hey, the Cubs did something at the Winter Meetings. It's not a big move, not flashy, there's no way you've heard of this pitcher before unless you're focused on the Padres' minor leagues, but it follows a trend for the Cubs this offseason. The Cubs need to improve their bullpen and instead of...
White Sox GM Rick Hahn said he wanted to add two starting pitchers this offseason. More than 10 starters have signed, including the top three free agents and the White Sox were only in the mix for Zack Wheeler. They tried to sign Jordan Lyles, but he went to the Rangers. There were reports linking...
The White Sox haven't been as active as fans expected following the early offseason signing of Yasmani Grandal. They were turned down by Zack Wheeler, were in the mix for Jordan Lyles and then they traded for Rangers' right fielder Nomar Mazara. After pursuing Manny Machado last winter, they never...
The Cubs would like to bring back Nick Castellanos, but all signs point to them not being able to afford him. Bruce Levine is the only reporter to connect the Cubs with starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, so that link is kind of weird. That leaves Japanese free agent Shogo Akiyama is the only...
The White Sox traded for left-handed hitting outfielder Nomar Mazara late Tuesday night at the Winter Meetings, but there's no way the 2020 season can begin with the 24-year-old being the primary right fielder on the South Side. If he is, then the White Sox would have come woefully short in their...
