Spring Training Miscellany: Some of the Visuals as Cubs Players Get to Work

The Chicago Cubs will play a kinda-sorta-almost baseball game this month. Several of them, actually! The first is February 20 at Sloan Park, as the Cubs kick off the Cactus League slate against the White Sox. The official first workout date for the club is still nine days away, but you know these guys are training just about year-round, and there’s no better place to do it than at the Cubs’ facilities in Mesa, Arizona. So you see lots of guys showing up pretty much from the flip of the ca...

Offseason Position Discussion : SS

It 2024 CJ Abrams flashed greatness, with a .295 7 homer April and hitting .373 / .464 / .663 in May earning him a trip to the All-Star Game and getting Nats fans excited about his potential. The only problem was... well... he might have been the worst fielding shortstop in baseball in years.  The plan for 2025 was to start him at SS and hopefully watch him solidify his position as an MLB offensive star while playing some better defense.  This didn't quite happen. His 2025 at the pla...

Cubs Prospect Notes: Ramirez, Hartshorn, Wing, Franklin, Ayers, More

Spring Training is around the corner, which means MORE CUBS PROSPECT STUFF. It’s not just about the big league team, you know …. Although the Cubs placed just two prospects on ESPN’s top-100 list (Moises Ballesteros and Jaxon Wiggins, the same as most top-100s in this cycle), Kiley McDaniel included two others in the “next 100” list. Jefferson Rojas, it turns out, just barely missed the top-100 (107), while the other Cubs prospect in that next group is a mild surprise: 3B/2B switch-hitt...

Ha-Seong Kim Signs with the Braves for Good Money

In a move that felt like it was coming all offseason, the Atlanta Braves are finally signing 30-year-old free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. It’s a one-year deal, but according to Jon Heyman, it’s for $20 million … a very good get for Kim, but also a sign of the weakness of the free agent middle-infield class. Ha-Seong Kim (Back) to the Braves Ha-Seong Kim had a bit of a strange year. Also a free agent last winter, Kim signed a two-year, $29M contract with the Rays that included an op...

What will be the 2026 Braves’ Achilles’ heel?

I don’t mean, Michael Soroka’s Achilles’ heel. Just, you know, in general. The set of questions we received for February included, “What weakness will doom the team if nothing changes?” — but I twisted it around a bit. I have an answer to the former, and it’s also the answer to this question, but “doom […]

Still Waiting on Pitchers, the Cardinals’ Big Haul, Market Impact, and Other Cubs Bullets

I hope you’re having a swell Tuesday morning … Pitchers and catchers for some clubs will start reporting, officially, to Spring Training sites in exactly one week. That doesn’t mark any kind of hard cut-off for signings and trades, but if you’re a free agent pitcher, in particular, it does seem like you might be eager to get something done so that you can arrive with your fellow pitchers and catchers on a normal schedule with your new team. Which is to say, for that group of moves, spec...
