The Cubs had to send somebody out in order to activate Doug Davis for his start this evening, and the unfortunate soul is reliever Justin Berg. Berg had a 4.09 ERA over 11 innings and six appearances in his brief stint with the team.

Well isn't that just wonderful news. As the Cubs took the field before today's game for warmups, some positive news dripped out. Jordan Wicks was playing long toss (amazing, love to hear that), Justin Steele was throwing a bullpen (a...

CUBS LINEUP — I don't disagree - at all - that the Cubs have a bullpen (and specifically, an Adbert Alzolay) problem at the moment. But it's really hard for me to even think about the bullpen when the Cubs...
LUIS ARRAEZ TRADED — Never underestimate the aggressiveness of Padres President AJ Preller or the willingness-to-be-awful of the Miami Marlins. Tonight, those two forces came together to deliver - by far - the biggest, early-season trade I can remember. Luis Arraez...
