• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fastPhoto by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025See more articles Yency Almonte news and rumors

Cubs pitchers and catchers officially report to Spring Training at the Sloan Park complex in Mesa, Arizona this Sunday.

• Braves News: Offense Comes Alive in Win Over Minnesota, Matt Olson’s Big Night, MoreJesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports The offense finally had a big game. Last week, while the Braves did go 5-2, their offense also struggled. It was great to see Atlanta’s pitching perform at the level that it did, but winning consistently while only scoring around three runs a game is a hard trend to sustain. Fortunately, the Braves decided the start of this week would be different. Atlanta ...2024Click for news about Matt Olson injuries

", Luke Little, Julian Merryweather, Hector Neris, Drew Smyly Here are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen this year (using the North American opener last Thursday as the benchmark): Porter Hodge, Brad Keller, Julian Merryweather, Eli Morgan, Nate Pearson, Ryan Pressly, Colin Rea, Caleb Thielbar That’s almost a complete turnover — just one pitcher (Merryweather) is in both lists." - 2024
"Drew Smyly threw two perfect innings to wrap things up, and I do think this sort of multi-inning relief role is the right one for Smyly." - 2023
"Drew Smyly entered and ended the inning with a strikeout of Blackmon, but not before wild-pitching the runner to second." - 2022
"Drew Smyly will start for the Cubs and Brandon Woodruff will get the call for the Brewers." - 2021
"Jose Altuve's seventh-inning homer off Drew Smyly in the Astros’ 7-2 victory over Atlanta in World Series Game 2 on Wednesday night was the 22nd postseason home run of his career, tying him with Bernie Williams for second on the all-time list." - 2020
"The Giants have signed left-hander Drew Smyly, as per an announcement on the team’s Twitter feed." - 2019
"Texas added left-hander Drew Smyly in a trade at the outset of the offseason and has since signed Lance Lynn on a three-year contract and selected the contract of veteran righty Edinson Volquez, who was signed last offseason to a two-year minor league contract in the wake of August 2017 Tommy John surgery." - 2018
"Drew Smyly wouldn't mind being reunited with Alex Cobb on the Cubs, and the rehabbing left-hander did a little recruiting on Friday." - 2017
"The Cubs not only signed free-agent reliever Brandon Morrow, but they added an extra arm for the future in lefty Drew Smyly." - 2016
"Left-hander Drew Smyly started for the Rays and allowed just six hits in 6 2/3 innings." - 2015
"Adrian Beltre put the Rangers ahead of starter Drew Smyly and the Rays with the 406th home run of his career, and Texas completed a three-game sweep with a 5-3 victory on Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Park." - 2014
"Finding hidden gems in trades of big-name players, such as Ben Zobrist in the 2006 Aubrey Huff trade, Matt Joyce in the 2008 Edwin Jackson trade or, more recently, Drew Smyly in this summer's David Price blockbuster."

• The 5 worst Cubs games of 2024Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images You probably don’t want to remember these, but here we are. There have been other years when I’ve posted a number of blowout losses in this annual recap. In some ways, those are easier to take, a team runs up a huge score against the Cubs but it still counts for only one loss. Other times I’ve filled these with soul-crushing defeats.

As most of you know, I generally try to take the optimistic view of the Chicago Cubs.

(If that sounds familiar, I wrote the same words in last year’s midseason grades article.) The Cubs stand seven games out of first place in the N.L. Central at the All-Star break.
