When you take a look at Tyler Chatwood's 2017 numbers, he's quick to write off. His 4.69 ERA, 7.31 strikeouts per nine innings, and his home run/fly ball ratio of 22% doesn't exactly scream good MLB pitcher. But the Cubs signed the 28-year-old former Rockie to a cheap deal, three years for $40 mil,...
Theo Epstein made it clear during his end of the year press conference, the Cubs were going to explore all options during their search for pitching. And that search including trading from their depth, which reportedly involved Addison Russell. According to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago...
With the Cubs signing Yu Darvish this weekend, the team was starting to look complete as pitchers and catchers set to report later this week. A rotation of Darvish, Jose Quintana, Kyle Hendricks, Jon Lester, Tyler Chatwood, with Mike Montgomery as a swingman gave the Cubs an excellent group of...
It's all over now. The Cubs have finally ended their three month plus search for starting pitching and signed Yu Darvish to a six-year-deal worth $150 mil, with $126 guaranteed. Likely the final big move of the 2018 off-season for Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, however the deal clearly took some...
As spring training draws closer, it's looking like the Cubs will rely on Albert Almora Jr. as their primary center fielder. And while Jon Jay is still available despite the solid season he gave the Cubs platooning with Almora, the Cubs might be better suited to sign a different veteran. The speedy...
When the Cubs were eliminated from the postseason in October, one of the most glaring issues for Theo Epstein's club was their lack of reliable arms. Particularly, his bullpen, which had cost the Cubs 26 of the 48 runs allowed during their postseason run. Compare that to the collective 4 runs...
The Cubs wrapped up the Winter Meetings Thursday by signing right-handed reliever Steve Cishek, after signing potential closer Brandon Morrow and back-end starter Tyler Chatwood earlier in the week. However, despite the solid additions to the Cubs pitching, the team still seems one starter short of...
The Cubs came into the Winter Meetings needing to add at least two arms to the team, and while their signings so far have been solid, the Cubs still want more. Signing Brandon Morrow was has the potential to be an excellent move, along with agreeing to a deal with Drew Smyly, who is recovering from...
As we approach the final day of the Winter Meetings, the Cubs continue their quest to find another starter. And while it's obvious Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer plan on adding another starter, whether or not they are looking to add an arm for the front of back of their rotation remains to be seen....
The Cubs have added strike-thrower Brandon Morrow to the bullpen, as Theo Epstein strikes first at the Winter Meetings. Morrow signed a two-year deal with an option for a 3rd, worth reportedly somewhere around $20-22 mil. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/939957155372961792...
The Cubs and Alex Cobb have been linked to each other since rumors started circulating months ago. But with the Winter Meetings starting Sunday, the Cubs look to finally 'close' their deal with Cobb, and fill out their rotation for 2017. https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/939919328572518400...
Kyle Schwarber is going to be a hot topic of conversation over the next four days as the baseball Winter Meetings start today. But, Schwarber has already been linked to Theo Epstein's former team, the Boston Red Sox, who are desperately searching for power in their lineup....
