Could Marlon Byrd Head Back to the Rangers?

Could Marlon Byrd Head Back to the Rangers?

By Brett on August 30, 2010

Tomorrow marks the last day that a team can make a trade (via the waiver system) for a player, and include that player on its post-season roster. The Chicago Cubs have already made a couple waiver trades, sending Mike Fontenot to the Giants and Derrek Lee to the Braves. But are the Cubs done dealing? [...]

Chicago Cubs May Make More Trades Before August is Up

Chicago Cubs May Make More Trades Before August is Up

By Brett on August 12, 2010

Trades made after the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31 are rare – at least, far more rare than trades made before the deadline – but they do happen, as evinced by the Chicago Cubs trade last night with the Giants, sending Mike Fontenot out for prospect Evan Crawford. With the Cubs thoroughly out of [...]

Chicago Cubs Almost Traded Mike Fontenot and Xavier Nady to Giants

Chicago Cubs Almost Traded Mike Fontenot and Xavier Nady to Giants

By Brett on August 11, 2010

We haven’t heard too much about the trades that never were, but it seems that the Chicago Cubs nearly dealt outfielder Xavier Nady and infielder Mike Fontenot to the San Francisco Giants just before the trade deadline. Obviously the trade never materialized, and now the Cubs will work to deal the players via the waiver [...]

Series Preview: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010

Series Preview: Brewers v. Cubs, August 2 – August 4, 2010

By Brett on August 2, 2010

It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs welcome the Milwaukee Brewers to Wrigley Field – still the one team, outside of Arizona, against whom the Cubs have played well this year. The Brewers didn’t conduct a sell-off, so they’ll be at full-strength. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Rockies, July 30 – August 1, 2010

Series Preview: Cubs v. Rockies, July 30 – August 1, 2010

By Brett on July 30, 2010

The Chicago Cubs head out to Denver to take on a team nearly as disappointing (recently) as the Cubs, the Colorado Rockies. At least it’s really pretty out there. Shrug. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need [...]

Chicago Cubs Sign Second Round Pick Reggie Golden

Chicago Cubs Sign Second Round Pick Reggie Golden

By Brett on July 25, 2010

Some good news on the draft front – yesterday the Cubs announced that they had signed their second round pick, high school outfielder Reggie Golden. Reggie Golden got his first peek at life in the big leagues on Saturday. Golden, the Cubs’ second-round Draft pick, signed his contract on Friday and was able to do [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Rockies Looking at Ryan Theriot?

Lukewarm Stove: Rockies Looking at Ryan Theriot?

By Brett on July 12, 2010

The Chicago Cubs, even if they weren’t sellers, would probably be looking to move an infielder. They’ve got three guys rotating at second base – Ryan Theriot, Mike Fontenot, and Jeff Baker – and that’s at least one too many. The Rockies, who’ve lost shortstop Troy Tulowitzki until at least August with a broken wrist, [...]

Lou Piniella: “We probably will be sellers”

Lou Piniella: “We probably will be sellers”

By Brett on July 7, 2010

Even though the Chicago Cubs just managed to secure an AMAZING series victory – their first in 12 tries – the team is still so far behind in the NL Central and the NL Wild Card races that they are expected to be sellers come the trade deadline at the end of the month. And [...]
