The biggest news from Friday's non-tender deadline was Addison Russell getting tendered, but that wasn't necessarily the most surprising move by the Cubs. Russell was expected to get tendered, despite the deserved public outrage after he was suspended 40 games for violating the league's domestic...
Guys, don't freak out, it's just one report and at the end it could mean absolutely nothing, but obviously this has to be addressed. Craig Mish covers the Marlins and was pretty much all over their big trades last offseason. A little less than two weeks ago he tweeted out the following, listing...
As expected, the Cubs have tendered a contract to Addison Russell, meaning the two sides have until February to work out a salary for 2019, or go to arbitration to settle. However, in today's statement by the club, Theo Epstein once again expressed his feelings of wanting to help Russell, but also...
So, as of now the only move the Cubs have made that matters for the opening day 25-man roster is trading Tommy La Stella to the Angels and Ronald Torreyes taking a spot on the bench. The expectation is for the team to tender Addison Russell, but that doesn't mean he'll be with the Cubs next season....
Although the Cubs haven't made any major moves to their roster this offseason the front office has been tasked with replacing a big portion of Joe Maddon's coaching staff. That is now almost complete as various reports have the Cubs finally finding a replacement for Andy Haines, who was the team's...
The Cubs have traded infielder Tommy La Stella to the Angels for a player to be named later or cash. This comes one day before the deadline to tender contracts to arbitration eligible players. This trade is also happening a day after the Cubs acquired infielder Ronald Torreyes from the Yankees....
Despite being fired two years in a row, Chili Davis' reputation hasn't really taken a hit around the league, as he's reportedly in line to get another job at the MLB level. According to a few reports, the Mets are on the verge of hiring Davis as their hitting coach, almost two months after the Cubs...
Although a few veteran catchers have already signed this offseason there are several others still available in free agency. While the need for a backup to Willson Contreras isn't at the top of the Cubs wish list they are looking for one. Now, there are two new catchers available via the trade...
Last offseason the Cubs were trying to find a veteran backup catcher, while also courting free agent pitcher Yu Darvish. Chris Gimenez happened to be available and was a close friend with Darvish, going back to their playing days with the Rangers. The Cubs signed Gimenez and a month later Darvish...
Look for left-handed pitcher Kyle Ryan to play some role in the Cubs bullpen in 2019, as the Cubs have signed the 27-year-old to a major league contract. Ryan, who pitched in part of four seasons with the Tigers, spent 2018 at Triple-A, with the Iowa Cubs. He was pretty damn good too, producing a...
Hey, the Cubs did something! Hopefully this is only considered as a minor move, but anyway the Cubs have traded for Yankees infielder Ronald Torreyes. https://twitter.com/Cubs/status/1067879889745952769 Yeah, I bet you freaked out when you saw "Torreyes" and for a split second thought that for...
Guys, we all love Pedro Strop, he's the best reliever in Cubs history and he stepped up big in 2018 after Brandon Morrow went down, however, Jesse Chavez was the savior in the bullpen last season. Chavez pitched in 39 innings for the Cubs after the Rangers traded him to Chicago in July and he...
