It is officially Opening Day, and the Cubs roster is set to kick off the 2023 season. Though most of these spots have been set for weeks, there were a couple of surprises and down-to-the-wire battles that were only just decided. The 26-man roster will obviously not look the same the entire season, but the Cubs are rolling out a…
With only two weeks left until Opening Day, it’s time to provide an updated prediction for how the Cubs’ 26-man roster will look to start the year. There aren’t many changes from CHGO’s initial prediction last week, though the changes that were made do feel fairly significant. The biggest one features the young starting pitcher pictured above: Hayden Wesneski. Back…
Exactly three weeks from today, the Cubs host the Brewers for an Opening Day matchup at 1:20 p.m. at Wrigley Field. Like every year at the end of March, the weather probably won’t be anything special. But as for which 26 players make the trip to Chicago at the end of spring training for that Opening Day contest? That’ll of…
In 2016, the Cubs had an all-time defense. As they made the run to the World Series title that season, they led all of baseball with 107 defensive runs saved (DRS).

After three long years, the Cubs Convention officially returned on Friday. Cubs fans were lined up as early as 4 a.m. inside the Sheraton Grand Chicago waiting for things to get started.

When Tucker Barnhart was a free agent looking for a new home, he turned to a friend and former Cubs pitcher who assured him Wrigley Field is a good place to try and rebound after a down year. “I leaned on Wade Miley a lot,” Barnhart said via a Zoom call on Wednesday about the veteran southpaw who spent an…
Sorry. The Devers Dream is dead. Chicago Cubs fans hoping Jed Hoyer would strike a deal with the Red Sox need to move on. Boston is giving their star 3rd baseman more than 300 million reasons to stay. Meanwhile, the Cubs are loading up on defensive additions with Tucker Barnhart and Eric Hosmer the most recent free agents to join…
