Chicago Cubs free agent Jeimer Candelario has signed with a division rival. Candelario, who played the last two months of the 2023 season with the Cubs after being acquired at the trade deadline from the Washington Nationals, has reportedly agreed to a three-year contract that guarantees the corner...
Cubs Still in on Yamamoto Well, it wouldn’t be a Cubs rumor if there wasn’t an almost immediate update a few hours later. Despite a report in The Athletic that said the Cubs were no longer expected to be involved in negotiations with Yoshinobu Yamamoto because his price could surpass the $300...
The day of dunking on Bob Nightengale continues. Let's begin with the Shohei Ohtani rumors. Nightengale first proclaimed that the Chicago Cubs were fading in the Ohtani sweepstakes, characterizing their chances as "waning" on Tuesday. That came on the heels of a different report from Mark Feinsand...
USA Today's Bob Nightengale has had a doozy of a day reporting how the Chicago Cubs are no longer in the running to sign Shohei Ohtani. Well, Jed Hoyer apparently had enough and chewed out the national reporter during the Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday. Hoyer, who had not been...
So, Bob Nightengale has fans going crazy on Tuesday, first reporting that the Chicago Cubs are out of the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes. Cubs president Jed Hoyer responded directly to that speculation and shut it down, as he made his first public appearance at the Winter Meetings. Hoyer said the Cubs...
Ohtani's Cost Too Much for Cubs? What the hell happened in the past couple of weeks? The Cubs went from being a serious contender to sign Shohei Ohtani, reported by both local and national outlets, and now Bob Nightengale is reporting that they thought Ohtani's cost is too high? Everyone with a...

I mean at this point, who the fuck knows what's happening, what to believe, who to believe and so on, but apparently Christopher Morel's name has popped up in trade rumors with the Tampa Bay Rays according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. What makes absolutely no sense is that the MLB insider only...
Well, we now have national reporters and a local Cubs insider pretty much telling fans that it's over. The chances of the Chicago Cubs signing Shohei Ohtani may be done. At least that's the feeling a few days into the Winter Meetings. There was some optimism heading into the weekend, as ESPN's Jeff...
Back in early November, former No. 1 Cubs prospect Brailyn Márquez was one of several players on minor league deals with the Cubs to become free agents. Some thought that there was a chance the Cubs would once again give Márquez another chance and re-sign him to a minor league deal, but that...
If you are online even for a little bit, then you know that USA Today's Bob Nightengale has a murky track record when it comes to reporting insider info. No doubt, he's nailed signings and trades, but he's also built up the reputation of being completely wrong about some of the information he...
The Chicago Cubs, the rest of MLB, you and me are all waiting for Shohei Ohtani to sign so that the free agent market can actually pick up steam. In the meantime, the Cubs are looking at other targets available in free agency that would certainly be upgrades on their roster. According to MLB...
