The Cubs Jake Arrieta has been noticeably slower to start 2017. And when I say slow, I don't mean Arrieta has struggled this season - he's been classic Jake through three starts - but I mean it literally. He's been throwing a lot slower to start 2017, compared to what we are used to seeing from the...
The White Sox are trying to even up their weekend series with the Minnesota Twins, and while the Twins looked like they might storm back, the combination Avisail Garcia and Geovany Soto have made that look doubtful. First it was Avi clubbing a bomb to left field, extending the lead to 5-2. Garcia...
Well, it's finally here! Opening Day is upon us Chicago, with the Cubs beginning their journey back to the World Series Sunday night against the Cardinals, while the White Sox start year one of their rebuild Monday afternoon.

Opening Day for the Cubs is usually meet with 'This Year's Our Year' signs and silly goat tributes, a slew of some fan-lore good juju created in hopes of increasing the Cubs chances of finally breaking the curse and winning their elusive World Series title. Well, they did that all last year, and...
The 2016 postseason proved how valued the closer position is in baseball, with guys like Aroldis Chapman working on no rest, Andrew Miller enter games in the 6th inning, and arguably the league's best closer in Zach Britton not even appearing in his clubs lone playoff game.

The Cubs current roster is at 36, with 11 players still in the conversation for about two or three open roster spots.

The Cubs have an embarrassment of riches after winning the World Series last year. With a roster stacked at almost every single position, the Cubs are just sorting out the final bench spots this spring. One those players on the proverbial roster bubble is 27-year-old outfielder Matt Szczur, who has...
Tim Buss loves to have a good time, hence why he works for the Cubs who are the Major-League kings of fun. And while Joe Maddon gets a lot of credit for the loose, entertaining environment that is the Chicago Cubs Spring Training, Tim Buss deserves a healthy chunk of the credit. Seriously, the dude...
The Cubs have only one real position battle this season, with eight out of the Cubs nine regular starters returning to the team in 2017. In the rotation, the Cubs lost Jason Hammel but acquired Mike Montgomery at mid-season last July and signed Brett Anderson this offseason, with the two battling...
The Cubs are still pushing for more starting pitching, even after adding young, promising arms like Eddie Butler and Alec Mills to the roster. But with reality setting in on Jake Arrieta potentially leaving Chicago after this season, the Cubs are keeping all options open to try and replace the 2015...
The 2017 White Sox will be the team that every fan on the South-Side points to as the turning point. Whether it will be the moment that leads to the Sox turnaround every fan is clamoring for, or the beginning of a desolate time at Guaranteed Rate Field (It's still hard to believe they named it...
The St. Louis Cardinals received some awful news on their top prospect 22-year-old RHP Alex Reyes, who is undergoing an MRI on his sore elbow and could miss the entire 2017 season. I am told : Potentially season ending injury for Alex Reyes. Tough tough blown for Cardinals. — Craig Mish...
