Crosstown dominance: White Sox beat Cubs, again, 4-2
Let’s just call it a technical knockout: The White Sox have reasserted their dominance over the rival Cubs. Friday’s win, their third straight this spring over the ivy bumblers and first at Camelback Ranch, was the most pedestrian of the bunch; in other words, the White Sox clobbered only two homers in this one vs. […]
White Sox 4, Cubs 2: Another day in the desert
The Cubs didn’t send too many regulars to Glendale to face the White Sox — Michael Busch, Miguel Amaya (back from the WBC) and Moisés Ballesteros were the only ones among 40-man roster players, and Michael Conforto and Chas McCormick among the non-roster guys trying to make the team. Plus, it was basically a bullpen […]

The Cubs have changed the time of a Spring Training game due to the Arizona heat
MESA, Arizona — The image at the top of this post shows the forecast weather conditions for Mesa next week. Arizona is a hot place. But in March… it’s not supposed to be THAT hot. The average high in the Phoenix area next week is 78 degrees, which would be perfect for baseball. But not […]
2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Jordan Wicks
Jordan Wicks has been a bit of an enigma for the Cubs. When he first came up, he was an effective lefty starter, but those results haven’t been consistent, and he keeps getting hurt. He’s starting this season on the IL, along with Porter Hodge, who didn’t look good. Neither injury is said to be […]
