CUBS LINEUP — The Chicago Cubs have still not lost more than two games in a row this season. But that streak is at risk tonight, with Mets starter Luis Severino on the mound for the series opener at Citi...
Over his first 19 games (74 PAs), Michael Busch was one of the hottest hitters on the planet: .328/.405/.656 (190 wRC+), including three doubles, six homers, and nine walks. But in the seven games and 29 plate appearances since, he's...
When it rains, it pours. Just ask the Marlins. On Sunday, they watched their seven-run lead melt away, thanks to two Nick Senzel home runs (and another hot day at the dish for Jacob Young), as their losing streak moved...
The Chicago Cubs have, unfortunately, had some bad starts over the years, and late-April is not always a still-hopeful time for the team's fans, as it is this year. Consider the team and the situation back on this day in...
When I saw that The Athletic had written up 20 "underrated" prospects with a Chicago Cubs tag, I just assumed the prospect was going to be Jefferson Rojas, and I was going to mutter to myself that it's pretty silly...
Kevin Alcántara cooled off over the weekend while the rest of Tennessee's offense followed suit. Thankfully for the Smokies, they were able to sprinkle a Cade Horton gem in there on Saturday. That and more in today's Cubs Farm Report....

I imagine it was a fire drill for all involved ever since it became clear that the new Nike-designed, Fanatics-manufactured MLB jerseys (and pants) were a problem for many players. What was intended to be an improvement turned out to...
When a guy fractures his rib(s), that's not an injury where we have a pretty well-set idea in our minds about how long he'll be out. It depends on the extent and location of the fracture(s), the natural healing speed...
Last week we looked at some key dates on the NHL calendar for Blackhawks fans to circle between now and the start of the 2024-25 season. On Monday afternoon, the Hawks announced three more of their own. Sunday, June 30...
With back-to-back losing seasons, the Arizona Cardinals entered the 2024 NFL Draft under immense pressure. General Manager Monti Ossenfort had war chests full of picks, thanks to trades and a disappointing record. But would he address the team's numerous needs...
I love post-NFL Draft behind-the-scenes content. Hook that stuff straight to my veins and hope that it carries me through until the football year begins again in earnest when training camps open in July. And while the Chicago Bears traditionally...
The Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James isn't going anywhere. In fact, it might now be more contentious than ever before. The Athletic recently released its annual anonymous player survey. Among the many questions was "who is the greatest player of...
