• Here’s the Cubs’ entire 40-man roster and what might happen with it this offseason

Photo by Griffin Quinn/MLB Photos via Getty Images The team has many decisions to make. Last week, I posted this article about the 14 (!) players the Cubs have who are arbitration-eligible for 2025. In the poll attached to that article, 57 percent of you said the Cubs would non-tender at least seven of those players, with some commenting that it might be as many as nine. So I thought I’d e...2024

• Jed Hoyer’s news conference produced no real Cubs news

Marquee Sports Network The Cubs President of Baseball Operations held his annual postseason presser. Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer met with news media Tuesday morning, as he does every year when the season ends. He did express regret that this presser was being held today, as opposed to the team being in the postseason, and said, “We have to be better. We’ve got to get ba...2024

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 160

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs record their 82nd win in a 1-0 shutout. That game had to make Cubs fans of a certain age remember games of the 60’s and 70’s. The Reds got a complete game with one run allowed. That’s going to win a game, what, 90 percent of the time? Probably more. Five hits, no walks. Tough break, sir. He allowed one double and it cost him. At 34 years of ag...2024

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images Cubs overcome more bullpen woes in 7-6 win. The Cubs bullpen tried to carbon copy Sunday’s game. After the Cubs and Nationals matched a run each in the first and two each in the third, the Cubs took a 5-3 lead with two in the fifth. Shawn Armstrong started the sixth and it didn’t go well. He faced four hitters and allowed three hits. The only thing that k...2024

Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Kyle Hendricks turns back the clock and leads the Cubs to a 6-2 win. On Sunday Kyle Hendricks gave one of his finer performances as a Cub. I saw one piece of information that framed this as one of the best start a Cub has ever made at Coors Field by way of yielding only two hits and one run. Today will not be the full love letter to Kyle Hendricks that I susp...2024

The Cubs were so happy to see their old pal Anthony Rizzo that they rolled over and played dead to give his team a win. Not really, but it might as well have been true. It was a generally well played game and neither team was able to generate a whole lot of offense. Unfort...2024

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images The Cubs got yet another dazzling performance from Shōta Imanaga, and turned on the power in this rain-delayed win.
