Chicago Cubs Add Four Prospects to the 40-Man Roster
Yesterday, the Chicago Cubs added pitchers Chris Archer, Kyle Smit and Alberto Cabrera, and outfielder Brandon Guyer to the team’s 40-man roster, which will protect them from the upcoming Rule Five Draft. It also means that the players will have a chance to make the big club out of Spring Training. Archer, the organization’s top [...]
Whither Larry Rothschild
He says it’s not a product of the new manager, but either way, Larry Rothschild is gone. Today, the (former) Chicago Cubs’ pitching coach, who had previously exercised an option for 2011, took advantage of a clause in his contract allowing him to depart the organization. He did so in favor of a three-year contract [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Javier Vazquez Wants to Pitch in Miami
Like LeBron James and Chris Bosh before him, free agent starter Javier Vazquez wants to take his talents to Miami. The 34-year-old starter, coming off a down year, has been connected to the Chicago Cubs’ search for a middle-of-the-rotation type, but there are now two significant hurdles to him becoming a Cub. In addition to [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Chris Davis Trade Rumor Has Legs

Buy Chicago Cubs Tickets on Monday, If You Want
The Chicago Cubs will be selling ticket packages for the 2011 season on Monday, November 22. So if you can’t wait until the early Spring to be gouged by the most expensive tickets in baseball to see one of the worst teams in baseball, by all means, jump on it. Just kidding about the gouging [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Cubs May Be Shopping Marlon Byrd, Working on Adrian Gonzalez Deal
As a reminder, the purpose of the Lukewarm Stove is to bring you all relevant/interesting rumors, no matter how tenuously related to the Cubs or how unlikely. And with that solid setup, we break a couple rumors. First, a source indicates that the Cubs may be readying to shop center fielder Marlon Byrd. Moving Byrd [...]
*Screeching Tire Sound* – The Chicago Cubs May Pursue Cliff Lee?
Well this certainly came out of left field, but Steve Rosenbloom is suggesting that the Chicago Cubs may actually pursue top free agent starter – and sure-to-be-centimillionaire – Cliff Lee. Um, what? Before allowing your BS meter to explode, let’s see what he has to say. The Cubs have been linked to the pursuit of [...]
Chicago Cubs Talking to Texas Rangers about First Baseman Chris Davis
As expected, the Chicago Cubs are searching far and wide for a new first baseman. The search is taking them outside of the free agent market (and yes, even outside the Adrian Gonzalez trade market), and the team has begun discussions on a potential deal or two to fill the position. One of which has [...]
