The Chicago Cubs season has come to a close. Monday afternoon, Jed Hoyer addressed the media and touched on topics including his hunger to return to postseason play, second-half momentum, comparisons to the 2014 team, and where the team goes from here. Join Luke Stuckmeyer, Ryan Herrera and Cody Delmendo as they discuss the main points from the season-ending press…
Over the last week, the Cubs made a slew of moves to shuffle around both their active and 40-man rosters.
Adbert Alzolay (activated from 60-day injured list), Jared Young (selected from Triple-A Iowa) and Esteban Quiroz (selected from Iowa) are now on the big league club, while moves involving Frank Schwindel (DFA'd and granted unconditional release), Sean Newcomb (DFA'd and sent outright to Iowa) and Rafael Ortega (placed on 60-day IL) opened up spots on both rosters.
With so little time left in the year, those moves have added another wrinkle to the decision-making the Cubs' front office will be doing this offseason — and more specifically, the decisions they'll make surrounding who to keep on the 40-man roster before the Rule 5 Draft.
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts can often be seen roaming the ballpark during home games at Wrigley Field, chatting with fans who approach him. Now, what exactly do those fans say to him during those interactions? “The fans are great,” Ricketts said Saturday during an interview with about a half-dozen reporters on the Wrigley Field concourse. “I mean, I walk around…...
The Cubs have another roster crunch on their hands, only this one doesn’t have to do with making sure they can field a full roster for the last four weeks of the season. The Rule 5 Draft will return this offseason, and the front office is carefully considering who they’ll want to protect from the draft. The rules of eligibility…...
In an empty locker inside the Cubs’ clubhouse Thursday hung two jerseys, both in the classic home style, both with a “22” on the back. No, these weren’t jerseys ready to be worn by the Cubs’ incumbent No. 22, Jason Heyward, who’s been ruled out for the rest of the season and who won’t be returning to the team for…...
Earlier this week, MLB Pipeline released its updated top 100 prospects list along with each team's new top 30.
Here are some of the notable changes in the Cubs' rankings and what we've heard about those prospects.
Jason Heyward's Cubs tenure is soon coming to an end. How should he be remembered for his time on the North Side?
Happy Monday, folks!
We're now going into the first full week since the trade deadline, and I don't know that we have any clearer picture of where the Cubs go from here. A couple players who were expected to be traded weren't, and there was at least one deal that caught everyone off guard.
Compared to 2021, this year's deadline wasn't what everyone was expecting, but now that six days have passed, there's been more than enough time for everyone to sit back and really evaluate how it all went down. And with just two months remaining in the season, the focus shifts to how the the rest of the year goes for the Cubs, in both the major and minor league levels.
You've got thoughts, I've got thoughts. So let's get right into it. Here are the latest Monday morning Cubs thoughts, post-deadline edition.
ST. LOUIS — Willson Contreras walked into the Cubs’ clubhouse at Busch Stadium at roughly 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. He greeted Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki and Suzuki’s translator, Toy Matsushita, as he settled in at his locker. It was a casual greeting from Contreras, one he’d probably give to any given teammate on any given game day. At the…...
The MLB trade deadline is just over 24-hours away, but the Cubs are already making moves. After trading reliever Chris Martin, Scott Effross was the next domino to fall. Effross has been traded to the New York Yankees for RHP Hayden Wesneski, a AAA pitcher and top-10 Yankee prospect coming off a strong July. Effross has been the Cubs best…
