New Cubs rumor alert. And while the subject, Rob Refsnyder, is not particularly sexy, I do think a deal would make some sense. Let’s dive in. During the Q&A portion of Ken Rosenthal’s Fair Territory podcast , one listener wondered if the Cubs would consider signing a right-handed hitting outfielder this offseason to help improve their offensive baseline against left-handed pitching, specifically citing free agent Rob Reysnyder as a target. Given the presence of Ian Happ (switch-hitter, bu...

Although I still miss when the MLB Draft was in June, giving it PLENTY of distance from the MLB Trade Deadline (and thus giving front offices six+ weeks to focus fully on trade season, rather than just two), I still will take any maneuvering that gives it a little space from the All-Star festivities. It was a nice thought to bring the events together to try to maximize national attention, but in practice it wound up just making everything feel overcrowded. So, MLB is making a very modest ...

Coming off the division title years in 2007 and 2008, hopes were high for a three-peat in 2009. But the Cubs struggled for much of the early going in ‘09. They kept near first place, but after mid-April were not again in first place — until July 26, when a win over the Reds put […]

Per Jeff Passan , another Japanese star has officially been posted for MLB teams to sign: righty Kona Takahashi. Teams will have 45 days to try to complete a contract with him. Takahashi, 28, was absolutely dominant for the Seibu Lions in 2022 and 2023, which is when I remember first hearing about him as a possible future pitcher in MLB. Unfortunately he struggled a bit in 2024, and then, although he rebounded to a 3-ish ERA in 2025 (around league average), it came with just 88 strikeouts...
