This past season was pretty bad for the Brewers when you really look at it. So that’s something …

I miss fun offseasons, when the Cubs were the ones getting the good players.  

The lost year made it particularly easy to lose sight of Strumpf. Don’t do that.

The White Sox will not be a serious pursuer of Bryant in the coming days, and I’m good with that.

How long has it been since the Cubs made major changes to the offensive personnel from outside the org? A half-freaking-decade.

It’s unclear what the fallout will be, but MLB tends to investigate these situations on its own.

Could be a signal that the Cubs are sticking with four of their affiliates.

We have a lot to be grateful for around here right now. So I want to say thanks.

Jed Hoyer has some nice new job security.

Apparently Martinez participated in a massive event in violation of the island’s pandemic laws.
