Here are a few Cubs Spring Training questions — and maybe answers
We are now a bit over a week into Spring Training games and at last, Friday’s game featured just about everyone who will be in the Opening Day lineup March 26 (except Seiya Suzuki, who’s already back in Japan for the start of the World Baseball Classic). There aren’t many question marks about the Cubs […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Cabrera, Hodge, Swanson
No TV, no radio. Absolute BS. Baseball teams can afford to take the loss in order to promote the game. But they won’t. And it isn’t going to get better. For the cost of an NRI longshot or, even better, some minuscule portion of CEO salary, these games could be made available to you and […]
Cubs 8, Guardians 6: Edward Cabrera shines, Dansby Swanson homers
MESA, Arizona — Friday was Edward Cabrera’s first outing in a Cubs uniform and it was a great success. Cabrera retired all six Guardians batters he faced, striking out three. He threw 20 strikes in 31 pitches and had six swings-and misses. The bullpen did a good job, too — well, with one exception, I’ll […]

2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Riley Martin
Today we look at the Cubs’ lefthanded reliever. Riley Martin hasn’t yet pitched in a regular-season major league game, but this might be the year. The 6’1”, 215 pound Salem, Illinois native has been in the Cubs’ system for five years, rising slowly through the ranks with so-so results until 2025, when he posted a […]
2026 Cubs: Know your enemy, NL East
The NL East could have several strong teams this year. The Phillies appear to be in win-now mode. The Mets have made major changes. The Braves should recover from a down year in 2025. Even the Marlins could make some noise. The Nationals? Well, they are here. Atlanta Braves Key departures: Jarred Kelenic, Marcell Ozuna, […]

Angels 5, Cubs 4: Matthew Boyd is perfect
The Cubs lost to the Angels 5-4 in Tempe Thursday, but the big story of this one was Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd. Boyd had allowed five hits in less than two innings in his first spring start earlier this week. Thursday afternoon in Tempe, Boyd was much better. He retired all nine Angels he faced […]

2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Luke Little
Today we look at the Cubs’ left-handed flamethrower. Luke Little, all 6’8”, 220 pounds of him, just needs to throw strikes. In three seasons as a part-time Chicago Cub, he’s thrown 35.1 innings. In those innings, he has struck out 44 batters. That’s really good. But he has walked 28. That’s really bad. He’s 3-1 […]
2026 Cubs: Know your enemy, St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals are tanking. Oh, they can deny it all they want and claim it’s a “rebuild that’s not a rebuild” like a certain team we know did, but this is full-out tanking. It’s not surprising, given that they have a new executive in charge in Chaim Bloom, their new President of Baseball Operations who […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Austin, Brown, PCA, Taillon
Sources say that Michael Conforto has agreed to a minor-league deal. Terms were unavailable at press time. Tyler Austin isn’t going to be available for a while, and per Maddie Lee, Jonathan Long is also nursing an injury. That tweet is in The Feed. Some kinda roster jenga would seem to be in order. We […]

We’re busy tonight, but we’ll make room for you. There’s no cover charge. The dress code is casual. We’re getting a table ready for you now. Bring […]
Rockies 14, Cubs 7: Well, Cade Horton had a nice outing, anyway
MESA, Arizona — Things were going on swimmingly at Sloan Park for the first four innings, with good Rockies pitching holding the Cubs down and Cade Horton throwing well after Jameson Taillon got lit up early on. Then both teams scored six runs in the fifth inning, a frame that took nearly an hour to […]

The 2026 Wrigley Field community meeting covered concerts, All-Star Game planning and more
Mike Lufrano kicked off his 23rd Wrigley Field Community Meeting by nostalgically noting that it was Ryne Sandberg’s number. The Cubs Executive Vice President of Community, Government and Legal Affairs also said that while the meeting is familiar now, it wasn’t always a given that the Chicago Cubs and their neighbors would come together to […]
