Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via Getty Images The Cubs had a lot of hits Sunday... and also got hit. The Cubs sent several players onto the field for the second straight game Sunday afternoon, ramping up as the team gets ready to head to Japan. The starters put together a pretty good offense before departing, scoring in each of the first five innings. Unfortunately, non-roster in...2025

• 2025 Cubs: Know your enemy, AL Central

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images This is a division of haves and have-nots. Last year, three AL Central teams made the postseason and four finished over .500. This was largely because they all fattened up against the awful White Sox. The Twins, Tigers, Guardians and Royals went 42-10 against the White Sox. Wow. The Cubs, meanwhile, were 10-6 against the AL Central last year. So that...2025

• Cubs 4, Diamondbacks 2: The comeback Cubs strike again

Steve Sher The team remains undefeated in spring play. MESA, Arizona — Sure, wins in Spring Training don’t mean anything. Well, not much, anyway. Because the way this Cubs team came back to win has to count for something, if nothing more than confidence-building. They spotted the D-backs a 2-0 lead and didn’t have a hit through the first four innings. But then a couple of home runs and som...2025

• Another way-too-early look at the Cubs’ Opening Day roster

Major League Baseball Let’s try this again, after a few more acquisitions. One week today, the Cubs — or, more correctly, a bunch of guys wearing Cubs uniforms — will take the field at Camelback Ranch to face the Dodgers. Most likely, even if there are a handful of everyday Cubs regulars in the lineup, by the fifth inning they’ll be replaced by guys who will probably spend 2025 in Double-A...2025

Not one player from the Cubs minor-league camp played in Tuesday’s 16-1 Cubs win over the Padres. All of the 24 Cubs in this game were either 40-man roster guys or official NRI’s to Spring Training.

I mean, that’s what all pitchers do, ideally, but Brasier’s track record, veteran status, and relatively high salary probably get him a spot in the middle of the bullpen as long as he’s ef...2025
