The Rule 5 Draft is today, and, given the Cubs’ bloated payroll, they may look to pluck a high-upside reliever in the draft to at least bring to Spring Training. Things get going at 11 am CT.

Boras said he's heard a rumor about the Cubs possibly listening for trade offers on Kris Bryant but assured everybody it's not true.

Boras said he thinks most of the conversations between Bryant and Harper are about hitting and they know their friendship doesn't play an actual role in Harper negotiations this winter.

The latest on A. Russell from agent Scott Boras: "Addison (Russell) is well into working with local groups he is well into his therapy. This process has really been educational and defining for him."

Kris Bryant visited the Cubs suite today. Jed Hoyer: "It was good to see him. He looks great. He looks focused." No issue with shoulder.

Btw, Don’t know where Cubs are with a new bench coach but Raul Ibanez is one early name I’ve heard to consider. (Besides Ross of course)
