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…
Starters spoke very highly on Yan Gomes this season. But how would Luke Stuckmeyer, Cody Delmendo and Ryan Herrera grade the Cubs back-up catcher? There is also a report from The Athletic that claims Anthony Rizzo plans to opt-out of his 16 million dollar option with the Yankees and test free-agency. Is there even a slight chance of a reunion…

In 2021, Willson Contreras caught 935 ⅔ innings behind the plate. Thus far in his career, he has only logged more time behind the plate once, in 2018. The reason Contreras had to take on so much of the workload last season? The absence of a reliable backup catcher. Victor Caratini had served behind Contreras from 2017 to 2020, but…...
The Cubs stayed in the win column Monday night after an eight run first inning bolted the Cubs to a 9-0 route of the Pirates. The Cubs have now won three straight games, including five of their last seven contests after a brutal 3-14 stretch. Willson Contreras hit his 100th career homer, Yan Gomes stayed hot and Wade Miley went…
Willson Contreras' future remains unclear thanks to the lack of an extension and his upcoming arbitration case. Still, nights like Monday are helping him put together a season to remember as he leads the way for the Cubs.
Whatever nickname you want to give to Marcus Stroman, everything was on full display Sunday in Milwaukee. The hope now is that "The Stro Show" will be performed every time the 31-year-old takes the mound moving forward.
Hey, Chicago, what do ya say? We’ve gotta figure out who the Cubs will bring with them to Opening Day.
