The Cubs have eight arbitration eligible players this offseason, which means eight guys are about to get a pay raise on the North Side and none bigger than Javier Baez. A couple days ago MLB Trade Rumors released its annual arbitration projected salaries for 2019, and obviously the most eye-popping...
So, obviously the offseason really gets going after the World Series, but for 26 teams it's already time to look ahead and that includes the Cubs. Again, not technically the offseason yet, but we already have the dumbest shit being spewed on the radio about the Cubs possibly trading Kris Bryant?...
The Twins are searching for a new manager and boy will White Sox fans just detest this latest report out of Minnesota. According to the Star Tribune, the Twins have already interviewed their hitting coach James Rowson for the opening and they're also interested in interviewing two former Cubs...
The Cubs bullpen overall was fantastic in 2018. The Cubs bullpen was atrocious in the final six weeks or so of the regular season. Both are true. So, how's it looking heading into the offseason? Here are the relievers currently on the 40-man roster for the Cubs. Brandon Morrow Pedro Strop Steve...
The Cubs head into the offseason with a few question marks. As always the bullpen is always a topic of conversation, while looking to add a star free agent bat will be at the top of the list for the front office. Yet, the Cubs will go into 2019, with an awesome-looking starting rotation. A year ago...
So by "young Cubs players" I mean guys 25-years-old and younger as of now. Anyway, let's establish the untouchables out of all the position players. Untouchables: these guys aren't going anywhere Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras These are pretty self-explanatory, but Rizzo...
So this was from four days ago and although it's kind of old "news" by now I couldn't let it pass me by without discussing it because we all know you've been waiting for my opinion and I'm here to please you. Last week Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune wrote a quick "Who's likely to return and...
The White Sox just finished year two of their rebuild and boy was it a rocky 162-game season. There was some good and then a lot of bad. That was expected though. This is what the early stages of a rebuild look like, no matter how high expectations might be for some fans. This is the reality, it...
Remember last year when the talk about the Cubs signing Bryce Harper first popped up and was immediately met with a, "that's crazy, you're stupid," response? Well, let's see what the odds makers over at Bovada think about the Cubs' chances to do just that this offseason....
Pedro Strop has been with the Cubs for six seasons and has a career 2.63 ERA with Chicago. In 2018, Strop had a 2.26 ERA, saving 13 games, while filling in for closer Brandon Morrow. By the way, that 2.26 ERA made it six straight years that Strop ended the year with an ERA below three. Yes, no...
The Cubs just needed anyone to start games instead of Tyler Chatwood by the end of July. The replacement turned out to be Cole Hamels, who didn't just fill in at the back of the rotation, but became another ace that led the Cubs to a 95-win season. Since he was traded to Chicago you could tell...
There were two reports earlier today from Jesse Rogers and Jon Heyman, both saying that Joe Maddon would indeed return to be Cubs manager in 2019, and Theo Epstein has made it official. During Wednesday's press conference with the media, Epstein addressed the managerial question for the Cubs. More...
