A couple updates on the top remaining - yup, still - free agent starting pitchers, lefties Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. Although rumors picked up on Snell and the Astros late last week, no signing news dropped. It was surprising,...
We don't cover the White Sox around here in a particularly close way - maybe a touch more than other non-NL-Central clubs because of the intracity interest - but this was surprising and interesting enough for me to note. The...
I haven’t exactly made it a secret that Jefferson Rojas is one of my favorite prospects in the Chicago Cubs’ farm system. After debuting in the DSL at 17, Rojas skipped complex ball and wound up at Low-A Myrtle Beach...
You know, if Seiya really rakes, and Cody hits again, and if Nico and Happ get on base a ton and Busch turns out to be a stud, and if Dansby is above average and Amaya breaks out and Morel...
The Cubs won their St. Patrick's Day game over the Rangers 8-6 today, and it's time to tip back a green one in celebration ... About what you'd want to see from Javier Assad today as he continues to stretch...

(Hear the song in your mind - it still fits!) The Chicago Cubs made their next set of cuts from big league camp today, sending out five players who were generally not expected to make the Opening Day roster. The...
A mighty fine St. Patrick's Day to you all. Although I've got a good bit of Irish in my blood, it's never been something I've connected to all that much. You can't really force it, but I kinda want to...
It was a split-squad day for the Cubs today, and they won both by a total of two runs. It was 4-3 over the Angels and 8-7 over the Royals. The only teams with a better spring record than the...
The Cubs are going off today in their two games, with a set of back-to-back-to-back jacks over in Mesa, and now this TITANIC shot from Christopher Morel in Tempe. Morel got himself to a 3-1 count, and when it's 3-1...
I don't know how often they'll be lined up like this during the regular season to even allow this to happen, so I'll just enjoy it for today in the fake game. Seiya Suzuki, Cody Bellinger, Yan Gomes go boom,...
CUBS LINEUP — It probably rains, what, twice all spring training out in Arizona? Of course one of those rains happens exactly as the first ever Spring Breakout game was going to happen for the Cubs. What a bummer. Alas,...
Strained my back so badly yesterday that even sitting here typing this sentence is kinda miserable. Worse, The Wife and The Little Girl are going on a Spring Break trip starting Tuesday, so I have only three days to get...
We're roughly two weeks from Opening Day, so there's no time like now to roll out a new recurring column here at Bleacher Nation: The Stretch. It's like the MLBits series that the BN faithful are familiar with, but longer...
He wasn't a free agent for long. And he isn't going very far. Soon after being released by the San Francisco Giants for some salary savings, third baseman/DH J.D. Davis is heading across the bay to sign with the Oakland...
UPDATE: It definitely sounds like this has legs, and could be in the process of happening. From multiple reports: https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1768767600006484249 https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1768769862221054009 I wonder if today was the final checkpoint: https://twitter.com/Feinsand/status/1768772558764343706 Oh, also? In between the original report and this evening's...

Well, I don't know that he's going to make a dramatic difference on this year's outcomes for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but they just got center field free agent Michael A. Taylor for a song. The 32-year-old was hoping for a...
I don't want to act like I know for sure that Oli Marmol is a bad manager, and thus any games he helms for the St. Louis Cardinals are games they are incrementally less likely to win. I do not...
Former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa, hero to many, villain to some, returned to Chicago today for the first time since 2007. We all know that his time with the team ended in a particularly fraught way, and we also...
