A bit of good news on the minor league front.

This post will have precisely 6 readers. But that’s OK. We gotta cover the luxury tax stuff since the Cubs made it so important …

Who was better than the 2016 Cubs, amirite? Also: Kosuke fun, El Mago, publications in need, and more.

It should have been the home opener today, and in the simulated world, the Cubs crushed it.

Sammy Sosa was a post-hype, possibly-washed prospect.

The players are reportedly open to almost anything you could think of to fit in regular season games.

The world for players in their arbitration years is going to have at least one huge wrinkle.

Today was supposed to be the Cubs coming back to Wrigley Field … alas. Not to be. So let’s enjoy this instead.

No corner is going to go unaffected by this virus, and I hope everyone with the Cubs will be OK.

Up from 10 teams to 14? Given what this year might look like, I say go for it.

Can you keep it non-obvious? What about the worst stadium you’ve ever been to?

No negotiations right now between the Cubs and Javy Báez, for example.

Good viewing today on ESPN if you want to be entertained by whiffs. That, and more.

Always good to hear from Rizzo, and this is so important. They say he’s a hero on and off the field, and who am I to disagree?

You won’t see crowds at baseball games until a whole lot of criteria are met first. That, and more from the newly-signed deal.

It’s not a shock that the mid-June series would be called off, but it still stinks.

Maybe this SPECIFIC challenge wasn’t a risk the Cubs assumed, but certainly they chose a risky strategy this offseason.

If and when baseball proceeds this year, the start of the season – geographically – may have to be very flexible. That, and some enjoyable bits, too.

The draft will be quite small this year. More on player compensation, service time, and the like.

I suspect there are logistical reasons for the maneuver today.

This is incredible.

Much love to and from the Cubs.

It’s real if we believe it’s real.

I don’t love it.

Today isn’t what it was supposed to be, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important.

I am not the Cubs. I am not as entertaining as Cubs baseball would have been. Let’s chat anyway.

Great stuff from the Cubs Captain.

Good to hear from the Cubs’ booth men even if we don’t get to hear them today.

I love to hear the hope and optimism, but it’s a really tough fit, even in the best case scenario.

Some updates on where things stand with baseball’s possible timelines.

Victor Caratini’s bat is going to be important for the Cubs, regardless of his role.

Only a few rounds of the draft this year?

A variety of updates from baseball, as everyone continues to try to get their bearings.

Thank you to Cubs Productions for putting out some much-needed “new” Cubs viewing.

How do you quantify the value of Jon Lester’s 2016 NLCS, specifically? That, and much more today.
