It had to happen. Addison Russell admitting to not knowing signs and basically not knowing any basic things while playing has earned him a ticket to Iowa. The Cubs have optioned Russell back to Triple-A, while activating Willson Contreras from the injured list....
Albert Almora Jr. has been one of the worst hitters in all of baseball for the past calendar year. We're talking about the third worst hitter with at least 400 plate appearances. Despite setting a career high in home runs with nine this season, Almora is still only slugging .378, the same as last...
Kyle Ryan has been the only left-handed reliever in the Cubs bullpen since the Mike Montgomery trade and Joe Maddon has mentioned how it would be nice to have another. Well, he got his wish before Tuesday night's game against the Giants. After making his second start of the year, right-hander Alec...
Tim Anderson has been out of action since June 25, when he sprained his ankle against the Red Sox. Out for nearly a month, the White Sox shortstop is nearing his return. After testing out his ankle in Chicago on Monday, the team announced that Anderson will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A....
Coming into 2019, along with Steve Cishek, Pedro Strop was the only other reliever in the Cubs bullpen that fans had confidence in. Since the Cubs traded for Strop, the right-hander has had a sub-3 ERA and despite a few blowups throughout his Cubs tenure Strop has been the most consistent reliever...
Addison Russell is in his fifth MLB season and after his shit-show of a performance on Saturday against the Padres Joe Maddon called him out for his lack of focus. On Monday night, ESPN's Jesse Rogers published the following story, talking with Russell and holy fuck how is he still on the 25-man...
Cole Hamels had another bullpen session Saturday at Wrigley Field and on Monday the Cubs announced that the left-hander will have a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa. Hamels will pitch Tuesday. Hamels, who's been out since late June because of an oblique strain, could possibly return as early as...
Carl Edwards Jr. was activated from the injured list on Friday and he pitched in the series finale against the Padres on Sunday. It was a disaster. You can argue whether or not Joe Maddon made a bad decision to put Edwards in a "dirty inning" bringing him in with two runners on in the ninth inning....
Here's all the latest buzz around the Cubs and their reported trade targets. The Cubs have emerged as a serious suitor for Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos. He's pretty much the best hitter available in the trade market, but the cost still shouldn't be high. Castellanos is owed about $4 million...
I used to think that Addison Russell was going to be a good baseball player. The defensive talent was there and hey he even hit 21 home runs in 2016. Now, three years later, he still has pretty good range playing second base, but his arm is a noodle and Russell makes too many dumb plays to keep...
Joe Maddon's talked about it all weekend long, the Cubs have been terrible against left-handed pitching and they need to get better. Overall, the outfield production has been disappointing and no matter the position the Cubs are looking for another bat. Guess who kills lefties, plays the outfield...
Kyle Schwarber's walk-off home run Tuesday night against the Reds was his third straight game with a long ball and his reward? Three straight games on the bench. Albert Almora Jr. is not only getting his third consecutive start, but he's leading off again. When Almora does play he's definitely not...
