Cubs pitching prospect Caleb Kilian may have found the culprit for some of his command issues in 2022. That and more inside the Cubs spring training notebook.
With a 35-57 record at the All-Star break, a nine-game losing streak that only an eighth-inning rally stopped from reaching 10 games on Sunday and a hostile fan base frustrated with ownership and the front office, it’s hard to think about the good times for the Cubs. In a season like this, fans just have to settle with celebrating moments…
The Chicago Cubs traveled to Pittsburgh on Monday to start their series vs the Pirates. The Cubs entered the series looking to make it 3 wins out of their last 4 games after a strong series vs the Braves. Rookie Caleb Kilian struggled again for the Cubs, allowing 5 walks and 5 earned runs in just 2.1 innings pitched. The…
If anyone knows what it’s like to be part of a rebuild on the North Side of Chicago, Alfonso Soriano does.

Fans were buzzing at Wrigley on Saturday because Kilian is one of the best pitching prospects in the Cubs’ system. And because he came to the organization in the Kris Bryant trade last July.
