As you may have noticed (and warned!), the site merge is underway. The front page will include all the sports we cover, but if you just want the same old Cubs-only page you’ve been used to, that’s totally fine! Just update your bookmark from www.bleachernation.com to www.bleachernation.com/cubs. Once I’m done with the cosmetic coding work, it’ll look exactly the same as it always did. But hey, now if you want peruse the headlines for all three sports, you can do it much more easily on the front page.

.@solerpower12 became the 1st player in @Royals franchise history with a 40-HR season, and he did it in style.
His milestone home run had a 115.7 mph exit velocity. That's the Royals’ hardest-hit homer tracked by #statcast since 2015. pic.twitter.com/drfFGj90dr

Rea is prbly only one Cubs will consider adding to 40-man roster to stop minor league free agency from happening.
Hultzen and Lugo were great finds the Cubs will surely try to bring back on successor contracts.
Such a long history with Clifton, ODLC, Pereda .. will it continue?
