The last entry in this series was about Ben Zobrist, who pitched in the final game — in fact, the last inning — of the Cubs’ disastrous 2019 season. No Cubs position players pitched in the abbreviated 2020 season. And that had nothing to do with the length of the season — there were 35 […]

It’s early January in Boston. Every day, or so it seems, there is the dreaded wintery of sleet/snow/rain/ice and of course wind. But over the next month there will be more and more stories about guys “in the best shape of his life” and heading to Florida for Spring Training. And as soon as those […]

There are two sides to every trade, and, for as excited as we are to have Edward Cabrera now in the Chicago Cubs’ organization, we have to say farewell to a trio of prospects who are off to Miami: outfielder Owen Caissie, shortstop Cristian Hernández, and infielder Edgardo De Leon. On the outgoing side of the trade, Owen Caissie is obviously the headliner, and a prospect about whom opinions out there are pretty well-divided, even though everyone tends to agree on the nature of the playe...

The Cubs were looking to bolster their starting rotation heading into next season, and they did so Wednesday, sending Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon to the Miami Marlins for a tantalizing starting pitcher: Edward Cabrera. Al covered the specifics yesterday, including the fun trade tree note that Cabrera basically closes out the […]

When signing a talent from a foreign league, you don’t necessarily know what to expect. You can do all the in-person scouting and do all the statistical breakdowns you want, sometimes the jump in talent from another country to the majors ends up being too much to overcome. In cases like Hideki Matsui, he was […]

The real meat of the Chicago Cubs offseason is rolling now. No, I don’t mean the Edward Cabrera trade . Obviously I mean the minor league signings and waiver claims of reclamation relievers! ( I am making a joke here, but not a mean-spirited one! The Cabrera deal is the big move, but we always knew the Cubs were going to be doing this other smaller pitching stuff, too, and I’m glad they are. They’re really good at it! ) The Cubs made so many guaranteed deal moves in their bullpen this tim...

Today (Thursday the 8th of January) marks the deadline for arbitration-eligible MLB players and their teams to swap salary numbers for the 2026 season. For the Cincinnati Reds, that means negotiations with a full dozen of their currently rostered players need to wrapped up today lest they end up at the hands of an independent […]

It is not a hot take to believe the Phillies should sign free agent Bo Bichette to a free agent contract. The reasons why it would be a brilliant on-field move are legion. The 27-year-old shortstop was leading the American League in hits before he went on the Injured List with a bad leg, but […]

Fun fact about Cubs acquiring Edward Cabrera yesterday : that means the Chicago Cubs are getting him juuuuuust before they have to agree to a deal in order to avoid arbitration before today’s filing deadline! So that’ll be kinda fun. He’s projected by MLBTR to get $3.7 million, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cubs – having literally just paid a handsome prospect package to get him – offer a little more just to get it done. The other possibility is that they actually go through with filing f...

A lot has happened in the Kansas City sports world since I last wrote here. Took a couple of weeks off to coincide with the holidays and my boys’ winter breaks, and during that time, all hell broke loose. Of course, I’m talking about the Chiefs moving to Kansas. And then there was a lot […]

One thing I think everyone here agrees on — and we don’t all agree on much! — is that the Cubs ought to sign one of the top free-agent hitters this offseason. In my view, now that the team has traded for a cost-controlled starting pitcher — and potentially a very good one in Edward […]
