I’m not sure I even have words to describe the elation at Wrigley Field after the Cubs’ totally improbable 3-2, 11-inning win over the Blue Jays. But here, let me try. This game was lost, over, done, the Cubs totally dominated by Blue Jays pitching. And then Alex Bregman banged one off the ad sign […]

The Royals continue to search for pitching, claiming young left-hander Luke Little off waivers from the Cubs today. Little has appeared in 40 games over parts of the last four seasons with the Cubs with a 2.97 ERA, showing great velocity, but poor control. Little was a fourth round pick in the 2020 draft out […]
