• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fast

Photo 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...2025

• Iowa Cubs Wrap: Walks will haunt

Jordan Wicks | Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The Cubs coughed up a big lead because their pitchers couldn’t throw strikes. I’ll probably mention this again later, but I’m trying to use Bluesky rather than the site formerly known as Twitter for regular updates on the Cubs minor leagues. Frankly, that other site has just become a cesspool (along with cute dog and cat pictures, admittedly) u...2025

The 2025 player profiles are complet and the projections averaged. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

• 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

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
