The Chicago Cubs have made a trade with the Texas Rangers, acquiring right-handed pitcher Matt Festa for cash considerations. The other notable news coupled with the move is that left-handed hitting utility player Miles Mastrobuoni has been designated for assignment to make room for Festa on the...
Two more pitchers have avoided arbitration and agreed to deals with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Left-handed starter Justin Steele is set to earn $6.55 million in 2025, while right-handed reliever Nate Pearson settled on a $1.35 million salary for the upcoming season. Steele, 29, is under team...
Tragic news surfaced in the baseball world as former MLB pitcher Brian Matusz passed away at the age of 37. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reported the death on Tuesday. Cubs fans will remember Matusz from his brief time on the 2016 team. The left-handed pitcher made one appearance with the Cubs,...
Don't get me wrong, if we're calling for Carlos Perez to be on the team at any point in 2025, then something disastrous happened. However, you know that when spring training rolls around and the newest Cubs catcher starts hammering baseballs in Arizona, fans are going to fall in love with him. The...
The very first move of the offseason for the Cubs was removing Caleb Knight from the 40-man roster, outrighting him and making the career minor leaguer a free agent. However, Knight's time with the organization that brought him into pro ball isn't done yet as the Cubs have re-signed the catcher....
Well, we've been saying this a lot throughout the offseason and I guess it could be seen as a positive because it means the Cubs have been in on several notable free agents. However, another free agent that the team had on its radar has signed elsewhere as right-handed starting pitcher Walker...
We're all waiting for the Roki Sasaki decision to drop and once it does we should see the rest of the free agent pitching market pick back up. Team insiders remain confident that the Cubs will add another starting pitcher and interestingly enough the Cubs are supposedly still in the mix for the top...
Huh, didn't see the Cubs losing out on free agents to the White Sox, but also this makes total sense for utility infielder and sometimes corner outfielder Josh Rojas. The Cubs were recently linked to Rojas, who did seem like the perfect backup infielder for the team heading into the 2025 season....
The Chicago Cubs added depth to their roster, acquiring former top-50 prospect Vidal Bruján in a trade with the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Left-handed hitting first baseman Matt Mervis was sent over to the Marlins. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the trade and the Cubs made it official later in the day....
Sooooo, we're all kinda waiting for the Cubs to add on following the Cody Bellinger trade and while we know they met in person with star pitcher Roki Sasaki the team has reportedly been talking to another Japanese free agent as well. According to an article from Yahoo! Japan, left-handed pitcher...
The Chicago Cubs have signed veteran reliever Caleb Thielbar to a one-year deal the team announced Tuesday. The 37-year-old has spent his entire MLB career pitching for the Minnesota Twins and despite having a down season in 2024, Thielbar is now in line to be part of Craig Counsell's Opening Day...
You would have thought that Seiya Suzuki's name would no longer appear in trade rumors following the Cody Bellinger trade, but it was. Well, those trade rumors should be over now as the Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernández to a three-year contract. Hernández,...
