• Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts writes to Cubs fans

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs owner has sent out his annual missive to the fanbase. Every year, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts sends an email to Cubs fans summarizing the year just completed, and laying out his thoughts about the team going forward. Many of you, if you are a season ticket holder or on another Cubs email list, have probably received this email Friday morning. I ...2024

• 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

More than two years ago, I posted an article here headlined “The Cubs should fire Jed Hoyer.” Last June, I posted this followup on the topic.

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

Bryce Harper homered off Justin Steele in the first inning Tuesday, his 30th, and... well, after that, not much from the Phillies.

There is a pretty high amount of randomness in scheduling. I suspect the schedule did the Cubs no favors in 2024.
