While catcher Moises Ballesteros was the big-name prospect representing the Cubs in the Arizona Fall League this year, it's been right-handed hitter Jonathon Long who has scouts raving about him. Long, who was drafted in 2023, was in the Fall Stars Game this past weekend and was then named AFL...
I think this speaks more to how insiders and execs around the league view the Cubs as opposed to who the team is specifically targeting in free agency, but until proven otherwise who are we to push back. At the same time, it's the middle of November, things can obviously change and maybe we'll be...
Chicago Cubs outfielder turned into DH Seiya Suzuki was one of five finalists for the outfielder Silver Slugger award in the National League for the 2024 season and he was inexplicably robbed of the award on Tuesday. MLB announced the three outfielder winners for the Silver Slugger and somehow...
Can the power of friendship really outweigh several other factors, including you know, money? That seems to be the basis of USA Today's Bob Nightengale's jaw-dropping prediction because I believe he's the first MLB insider who has this year's top free agent pitcher signing with the Cubs. For a...
As soon as Travis d'Arnaud became a free agent he was seen as an ideal free agent signing for the Cubs, who desperately need to solidify their catching situation heading into the 2025 season. Fan speculation turned into a concrete report from The Athletic indicated that d'Arnaud was indeed on the...
Nico Hoerner has been the subject of trade speculation among the fan base since the end of the regular season and now ESPN's Jeff Passan is pouring more gasoline into the possibility that the Cubs middle infielder will be on the trade block this offseason. In his offseason preview, Passan listed...
We all might be wasting our time, hoping that the Cubs actually have a shot at signing upcoming Japanese free agent Roki Sasaki, but insiders continue to mention them among the pitcher's expected suitors, so here we are. ESPN's Jeff Passan released his offseason preview on Tuesday and one of the...
I mean, technically we know that teams don't operate by labeling any of their players as untouchable, but out of all prospects in the farm system I think Matt Shaw is currently as close as you can get to being untouchable with the Cubs. The 23-year-old is on fire at this year's Premier12 Tournament...
Pitching will be the number one priority for the Chicago Cubs this offseason, but injury updates could make their pursuit for arms much more aggressive. The 2024 season was supposed to be set up for a trio of Cubs prospects to make their mark in the majors and while we saw a few glimpses of what...
Cubs top prospect Matt Shaw is playing like a star with Team USA at this year's Premier12 Tournament. The 23-year-old went 4-for-5 with SEVEN RBI on Sunday night, when he capped off the victory with a walk-off three-run homer to end the Netherlands' night early via the run rule. Shaw began...
Roki Sasaki Will Be Posted ESPN's Jeff Passan had the biggest scoop of the offseason thus far as the insider broke the news overnight that Japanese star Roki Sasaki will be posted by his NPB team and will then become a free agent. The exact date of when Sasaki will be made available is yet to be...
The Chicago Cubs have officially lost right-handed pitcher Jimmy Herget to another organization as the Colorado Rockies announced that they claimed the reliever off waivers on Friday. Herget, 31, was only with the Cubs for a couple weeks at the end of the 2024 season, when Chicago picked him off...
