Michael Busch Part of Cubs-Dodgers Trade All right, so here's a quick update. The Chicago Cubs appeared to be ready to pull of a low-level trade for a reliever, but now reports are indicating that this will be a bigger deal than first anticipated. Former first round pick Michael Busch is also...
The Chicago Cubs are reportedly working on a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-handed relief pitcher Yency Almonte. The 29-year-old already settled his arbitration salary with the Dodgers earlier in the offseason and is set to make $1.9 million for the 2024 season. Almonte began his MLB...
A day after Bob Nightengale first broke the news of the Chicago Cubs signing Shota Imanaga, ESPN's Jesse Rogers confirmed the contract that has a few options for both sides. According to Rogers, after the first two years of the contract the Cubs can extend the deal to a total of $80 million over...
