Opening Day is just about a week away and the Chicago Cubs are putting the finishing touches to their roster. Manager Joe Maddon hasn't had many questions to figure out during spring training and that includes the construction of the Cubs' lineup. However, Wednesday's starters against the Texas...
The Chicago Cubs might have a surprising name on their 25-man roster to start the regular season. According to Carrie Muskat, the team is debating whether to have eight pitchers in the bullpen, or an extra bat off the bench. If they opt for the extra position player, the last spot on the roster...
If you were in Mesa on Sunday, watching the Chicago Cubs play the Kansas City Royals you better have ducked for cover if you were out on concourse in left field. Willson Contreras continued to flex his muscles against the Royals, destroying a pitch for a two-run home run, one of the longest hit...
Chicago White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez was cruising along his start against the Cubs until the fourth inning, when Willson Contreras teed off on a hanging curveball. The Cubs catcher launched a deep home run and then the floodgates opened against Lopez. After the Contreras home run, Mike Freeman...
Before Saturday, Eloy Jimenez has been out of action for the Chicago White Sox in spring training, but boy has he made his return known. The top prospect on the South Side and a top-five prospect in MLB, Jimenez is making sure no one has forgotten about just what a beast he is at the plate. Jimenez...
The Chicago Cubs made their decision earlier in the offseason that Yu Darvish was their No. 1 target and with Tyler Chatwood already signed, it was only a matter of time that Jake Arrieta found a new home. That time was longer than anyone imagined, but Arrieta has finally signed and it's with the...
Kyle Schwarber now has three home runs this week and his latest was another monster blast down in Arizona. The Chicago Cubs are playing the Oakland A's at their former spring training home Hohokam Stadium and Schwarber sent a moonshot to right field, clearing the bullpens and landing on the bern...
The Chicago Cubs have signed two former players, but not to play baseball. The team announced that Chris Denorfia and Matt Murton have been hired to roles in the front office. Denorfia last played in MLB in 2015 with the Cubs, which happened to be the final season of his 10-year career. He'll be a...
Unlike my first Cubs spring training game of 2018, I didn't witness a murder at Sloan Park, but there was almost a death. Me. Well, me and every single Cubs fan at Sloan Park Thursday, when they beat the San Diego Padres 10-4. See, the major news from the game was when Javier Baez left in the...
I bet there were plenty of Chicago Cubs fans rooting for the Houston Astros in the 2017 World Series, but we can cut that shit out right now. Houston pitcher Dallas Keuchel was asked about a possible World Series hangover, like the Cubs had last year and he had some fighting words, at least that's...
I haven't been to many spring training ballparks in Arizona and of course Sloan Park is beautiful, but my few times at Goodyear Ballpark have been awesome. Two years in a row Kyle Schwarber has hit a home run at the spring training home of the Reds and Indians, but on Wednesday night I witnessed a...
Albert Almora Jr. had a big day against the Los Angeles Dodgers by not only snapping his hitless streak to begin spring training, but making another spectacular catch in center field. This was almost identical to a catch made by Almora in 2017 against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field....
