• Cubs 9, Mariners 9: Home runs from some new Cubs

Garrett Cooper | Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports Garrett Cooper and Michael Busch homered Regular readers of these recaps know that I was less than impressed when the Cubs signed Garrett Cooper to a minor-league deal just before Spring Training began. He didn’t seem to have the power the team was looking for and could only play first base. Cooper homered and doubled in Sunday’s Cubs 9-5 wi...2024

• 2023 Cubs prospect profiles: Brennen Davis

Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via Getty Images Davis was the Cubs’ No. 1 prospect until an injury. Now he’s trying to get his mojo back. The clock is ticking. 23-year-old (turns 24 next week) Chandler, Arizona native Brennen Davis still has time, but he needs to step on it. There was a time when the outfielder was the No. 1 prospect for the Cubs and in the Top 10 league-wide. He s...2023
