2026 Cubs: Know your enemy, Cincinnati Reds
The Reds made the postseason in 2025. Did you notice? They were dispatched quickly by the Dodgers. And, they had the worst record of any of the postseason teams at 83-79. Still, that’s something to build on, and the Reds are indeed building. Key departures: Zack Littell, Nick Martinez, Austin Hays, Brent Suter, Yosver Zululeta, […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Assad, Brown, Rojas, Triantos
Some surprises out in Surprise? Possibly. I mean, the surprise for us right now would be a Cubs victory… the team was 0-3, started a lineup of Triple-A players and PCA, with Ben Brown on the mound, against the Royals ‘A’ lineup. Brown worked two scoreless innings and that was good. Javier Assad took the […]

Cubs 3, Royals 2: Jefferson Rojas homers in the Cubs’ first spring win
This is going to be an old-school recap, because I do not have any video of the Cubs’ 3-2 win over the Royals to show you. So you’ll have to deal with descriptions, and a few MLB Gameday graphics. Ben Brown threw the first two innings for the Cubs. It was a good outing. He […]

Spring Training Game Thread IV
In today’s spring training matchup, the Royals take on the Cubs. We’ll get our first look at Seth Lugo after his injury-plagued 2025 season. Lugo’s 4.15 ERA from 2025 outperformed his 5.09 FIP, and he pitched only 145.1 innings. The Royals gave Lugo an extension instead of trading him last season, so it’s crucial that […]

2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Porter Hodge
Today we look at the Cubs’ one-time closer, who is trying to re-establish himself. Salt Lake City native Porter Dene Hodge, one-time Cubs closer, has lost his confidence and the strike zone.

Kyle Tucker spent 2025 with the Cubs, then signed a four-year contract including the highest average annual value in major league history with the Dodgers to replace Michael Conforto in the outfield.

2026 Cubs: Know your enemy, Milwaukee Brewers
I’ve chosen a few different formats for this series now that the Cubs play all 29 other teams every year. Sorry, I’m not writing 29 of these. This year, I’ll focus an article on each of the Cubs’ NL Central rivals, since the Cubs play them more than any other teams. That’ll make four articles. […]

We don’t know if this is a minor-league deal or a major-league deal. If the latter, […]

Giants 4, Cubs 2: Seiya Suzuki singles into a triple play
I didn’t go to this game but I kind of wish I had just because of all the weird things that happened in the Cubs’ 4-2 loss to the Giants Sunday afternoon in Scottsdale. First, as the Cubs were batting in the top of the first inning, a loud beeping sound (like a truck backing […]

Rangers 3, Cubs 2: Well, there were a lot of strikeouts
MESA, Arizona — Cubs pitchers struck out 14 Rangers hitters Saturday afternoon on another gorgeous day at Sloan Park. For whatever that’s worth. A few Cubs regulars and a bunch of minor leaguers couldn’t put together much offense, though, and so the Cubs lost their second straight Spring Training game, 3-2 to Texas. Matthew Boyd […]
