We can’t pretend that the biggest news in the Cubs’ world in the last 12 hours isn’t the Samardzija/Hammel trade, and we can’t pretend like it isn’t so big that it pretty much eclipses everything else going on (hence morning Bullets coming later than pretty much ever).

In case you missed the bad news last night — no, not the Cubs biggest loss since 2010 ... and, no, not Christopher Morel's early exit either after colliding with Alexander Canario, either — Jordan Wicks was scratched from today's...
Another day, another dominant Double-A start from top Cubs pitching prospect Cade Horton. The 22-year-old righty went 5.0 scoreless innings for the Tennessee Smokies, allowing five hits, no walks, and striking out six. https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1784397003340034131 There sure doesn't seem to be...
At the end of a nice winning streak, it was easy enough to shrug off a throwaway 17-0 loss to the Red Sox. And I didn't even let Christopher Morel's tumble and early exit throw me, as he was apparently...
