One of the good things about the Chicago Cubs moving to Marquee Sports Network is that fans get to see almost every single game during spring training. Maybe that doesn't matter for some, but for other fans that want as much Cubs baseball in their life as possible, being able to watch them play in...
Man, injuries stink. A year ago, left-handed pitcher Brandon Hughes was getting ready to enter spring training as one of a few guys who were considered locks to be in the bullpen on the Opening Day roster for the Chicago Cubs. Now, after being non-tendered in November, the lefty has officially...
The Chicago Cubs have officially signed free agent Hector Neris, agreeing to a one-year, $9 million contract that also includes an option for the 2025 season. To make room on the team's 40-man roster, the Cubs designated 2016 draft pick Michael Rucker for assignment. Neris, 34, had the best results...
Back in 2019, before they signed Craig Kimbrel, the Chicago Cubs had interest in trading for Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles. Five years and a Tommy John surgery later, the Cubs are back to scouting Giles. The right-handed reliever has unfortunately missed a lot of time since the Cubs expressed...
The Chicago Cubs acquired reliever Yency Almonte in the Los Angeles Dodgers trade, signed veteran righty and former closer Hector Neris, while also adding a handful of other pitchers to minor league deals to include more arms to their mix. It appears as though the Cubs are not done addressing their...
Cody Bellinger's final game for the Chicago Cubs last season was on Sept. 30, and he officially became a free agent on Nov. 3, when he declined a $25 million player option to hit the open market. The Cubs were preoccupied trying to court Shohei Ohtani in December, but since then I can confidently...
The Chicago Cubs have signed a handful of players to minor league deals in the past week or so and two of them have come after the team sent scouts to Driveline. You can read more about Brian Weiman and Sam McWilliams here. Meanwhile, let's all welcome new Cubs pitcher DICK LOVELADY! Richard...
This was an interesting link Monday morning. Apparently veteran hitter and now primary DH, Justin Turner is seemingly close to signing a free agent deal and the Chicago Cubs were brought up by MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Turner, now 39-years-old, signed with the Boston Red Sox for the 2023 season and...
The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed two more pitchers following their agreement with veteran right-hander Hector Neris. As always, these type of minor league signings come with very little risk and the Cubs, like every other team in MLB, are simply trying to find a hidden gem in one of these...
There was some unfortunate news Friday night, as MLB announced that Chicago Cubs prospect Mathew Peters has been suspended for the entire season after testing positive for PEDs. Peters, 23, was Chicago's 12th round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Ivy Tech in Fort Wayne. The Fort Wayne, Ind.,...
The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed free agent reliever Hector Neris. ESPN's Jeff Passan broke the news Saturday morning and it appears as though the Cubs have their high-leverage bullpen addition that they have been waiting to acquire all offseason long. At first glimpse, seeing that Neris is...
The Chicago Cubs have added a relief pitcher and although it's not the news most fans wanted to see, it is a familiar name in right-hander Carl Edwards Jr., who was part of the 2016 World Series team. The 32-year-old spent the past two seasons pitching for the Washington Nationals and has been...
