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 [...]

Reliever Joe Nelson Wants to Be a Chicago Cub

By Brett on January 28, 2010

Fourth Outfielder Watch: Jonny Gomes is in Love with the Chicago Cubs

By Brett on January 22, 2010

Add another name to the list of possible fourth outfielder options for the Chicago Cubs: Jonny Gomes. After raking for the Cincinnati Reds last year, Gomes was non-tendered for fear that he’d bring in too much money for the small-market club in arbitration. Gomes, 29, was presumed to be looking for a starting gig, but [...]

Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Milton Going to an AL Team Tonight? UPDATED x2

By Brett on December 8, 2009

According to Gordon Wittenmyer’s Twitter, the Cubs may be on the verge of trading Milton Bradley to a “surprise” AL team tonight. Various rumors have linked Bradley to the Rays, Rangers, and Royals in the AL, so none of those three would qualify as a “surprise.” Yahoo Sports has suggested that the surprise team is the [...]

Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Up to Four Teams Interested

By Brett on December 8, 2009

Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Bradley to the Royals for Gil Meche?

By AceRemote on December 8, 2009

These things are flying fast and loose. Last night, per Bruce Levine, Cubs officials met with the Kansas City Royals about a potential Milton Bradley/Gil Meche swap. You’ll recall: (1) the Royals had expressed interest in signing Bradley some moons ago, and (2) the exact same sentence, but swap “Cubs” for “Royals,” and “Meche” for [...]

    With Matt Garza and Scott Feldman surely on the block, the Cubs could be in the catbird seat in a weak market. Also, more on David Price's injury/trade situation.
