Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki are both free agents after 2026. Who should the Cubs keep?
This spring, the Cubs have given contract extensions to two key players — Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner.

The Short Porch is short on starting pitching
We’re still in small sample size territory as the calendar turns to tax day, but the Cubs are just a titch under 10 percent of the way through their season.
