Chicago Cubs Interview Eric Wedge for Managerial Opening

Chicago Cubs Interview Eric Wedge for Managerial Opening

By Brett on August 27, 2010

The Chicago Cubs have interviewed former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge for their managerial vacancy. Wedge was not among the names rumored to be on the Cubs’ short list as recently as a week ago, so this is at least a moderate surprise. Wedge managed the Indians from 2003-09, winning the American League Manager of [...]

Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: The Dodgers Are A-Callin’

Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: The Dodgers Are A-Callin’

By Brett on July 20, 2010

Though he didn’t even appear in the game, last night’s shellacking of Carlos Silva made it incrementally more likely that Chicago Cubs starter Ted Lilly would be traded. With just over a week to go before the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31, the Cubs are no doubt continuously evaluating their position vis a vis [...]

Chicago Cubs Minor Leaguer Busted for Steroids – Again

Chicago Cubs Minor Leaguer Busted for Steroids – Again

By Brett on March 19, 2010

A youngster in the Chicago Cubs’ system – don’t worry, you haven’t heard of him – has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. For the second time. Cubs outfielder Gregorio Robles has tested positive twice for a banned performance-enhancing drug. His 100-game suspension will begin with the start of the 2010 season. He still has 43 [...]

Are the Cubs Considering a Deal for Kerry Wood?

Are the Cubs Considering a Deal for Kerry Wood?

By Brett on March 15, 2010

When Chicago Cubs reliever Angel Guzman went down, presumably for the year, rumors picked up about the Cubs adding another right-handed reliever. The kicker, of course, is that the Cubs were already looking for such a right-handed reliever, and efforts to add a guy now will be met with outrageous demands. But maybe the Cubs [...]

Watch More Chicago Cubs Spring Training Games

Watch More Chicago Cubs Spring Training Games

By Brett on March 1, 2010

That headline feels like it should be followed with “or else.” But no, I don’t intend it to be threatening. That’s just your insecurity talking. The MLB Network is going to air a crap ton of Spring games this year, so in addition to the handful of games on WGN, you’ll be able to catch a [...]

Esmailin Caridad Has Already Won a Bullpen Spot?

Esmailin Caridad Has Already Won a Bullpen Spot?

By Brett on February 26, 2010

The race to take a spot in the Chicago Cubs bullpen is a wildly crowded one. Carlos Marmol, Angel Guzman (if healthy), and two of the would-be starting pitchers (Sean Marshall, Tom Gorzelanny, Jeff Samardzija, and Carlos Silva (sigh)) seem like mortal locks to make the pen. But is a fifth pitcher already locked in [...]

In Case You Were Hoping for Mark DeRosa

In Case You Were Hoping for Mark DeRosa

By Brett on December 29, 2009

You can stop hoping. And you probably shouldn’t have been hoping in the first place; not because Mark DeRosa is not a fine player, but instead because the Cubs haven’t been meaningfully connected to a Mark DeRosa rumor since they dealt him to the Cleveland Indians last year. A person with knowledge of the negotiations [...]
