Former Chicago Cubs closer Adbert Alzolay has signed with the New York Mets. Alzolay, 29, was only able to pitch in 18 games for the Cubs in 2024, before an arm injury shut him down in May. He attempted to return, but was eventually shut down and underwent Tommy John surgery in the summer. Alzolay...
So, at this point I think it's fair to say that two things can be true. For starters, the Cubs are interested in free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. However, as the rumors ramp up surrounding the top remaining free agent it seems like Scott Boras is using the Cubs for leverage in talks with...
Well, it looks like the Chicago Cubs are nearing a deal to acquire their new closer. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Cubs and Houston Astros are getting close to working out a trade that will send veteran reliever Ryan Pressly to Chicago. Earlier this week The Athletic reported that...
Truth is that no free agent infielder was really going to excite Cubs fans at this point of the offseason, but Jon Berti is pretty damn solid as the veteran bench player to back up Matt Shaw and give the team cover for Nico Hoerner. The Cubs reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with Berti on...
The Chicago Cubs are reportedly trying to trade for former All-Star closer Ryan Pressly. The veteran reliever is in the final year of his three-year deal with the Houston Astros and is set to earn $14 million in 2025. His contract also includes a no-trade clause, so finalizing a trade between the...
Kirby Yates was unbelievable for the Texas Rangers in 2024, earning All-Star Game honors for the second time in his career, while also being named to the All-MLB Second Team. The 37-year-old recorded a 1.17 ERA in 61.1 innings, striking out 85 batters in 61 appearances. The Chicago Cubs seemed like...
After losing out on Tanner Scott to the Los Angeles Dodgers the Chicago Cubs are now moving their attention to free agent closer Carlos Estévez. The Cubs reportedly did go out of their comfort zone when pursuing Scott, who ultimately signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Dodgers. The...
If you ain't first you're last and unfortunately that's the case for the Chicago Cubs as they finished second in the race to sign top free agent closer Tanner Scott. The left-handed pitcher has reportedly agreed to a four-year contract worth $72 million with none other than the Los Angeles Dodgers....
Not making the postseason in four straight years obviously puts a bigger spotlight on everyone, but Tom Ricketts has sucked for a while, even before he cried "biblical losses," in 2020. Now, Ricketts has once again opened his mouth and did what he does best, piss off Cubs fans. While on 670 The...
According to MLB Network analyst and baseball insider Jon Morosi reported that the Chicago Cubs are among the top remaining suitors for free agent Tanner Scott. Earlier on Friday ESPN's Jesse Rogers strongly put forward the thought that the Cubs will sign one of the top high-leverage relievers left...
The free agent reliever market is starting to heat up and the Cubs might still have a shot at signing the top available closer. Jesse Rogers appeared on ESPN 1000 Friday afternoon and added some context to Jed Hoyer's recent comments about adding a few more pieces to the roster. We'll focus on the...
Do these lists matter whatsoever? Absolutely not, but they get fans riled up and well I simply could not help myself. They do show how players are perceived around the league and I guess we did learn that Nico Hoerner remains incredibly underrated. This is kind of silly because "The Shredder" is...
