The impressive second-half performance in 2022 by the Cubs has been well-documented, with their 39-31 record coming at least partly as a result of a turnaround by the team’s starting pitching corps (2.89 ERA in the second half, third-lowest in baseball). That improvement is one of those sticking points that make the Cubs confident they can truly be a competitive…

The Chicago White Sox have acted early in free agency and signed starting pitcher Mike Clevinger to a deal.

Nearly two weeks into free agency, the Cubs still haven’t signed anyone. They protected some prospects from next month’s Rule 5 Draft, claimed a pair of infielders off waivers and made decisions on whether or not to tender contracts to their own players, but they haven’t yet made a play on the free-agent market.

And arguably the…
The White Sox need a second baseman. But boy, there sure are a lot of really good shortstops on the free-agent market right now. Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson have 30 fan bases salivating, and White Sox fans are no exception, if our show chats are any indication. Judging from Rick Hahn’s comments during the GM…

Could one of those moves include the organization’s top prospect Colson Montgomery? The 20-year-old shortstop is currently in AA. Sean Anderson and Herb Lawrence peel back that curtain and look into what a trade involving Montgomery could…
