• Big inning turns pitcher’s duel into 8-0 Royals laugherThe Royals put up a crooked number in the ninth inning. The Royals and Tigers were engaged in a tense pitcher’s duel for eight innings before Kansas City broke the game wide open in the ninth inning leading to an 8-0 win in the series opener on Friday afternoon. The Royals got seven shutout innings from Seth Lugo, who lowered his season ERA to 1.66, allowing just three hits and recording a season-...2024Check it out Seth Lugo rumors -
• Tigers series preview: A pitcher’s duelPhoto by Mike Carlson/Getty Images Hey, who scheduled this to go opposite the NFL Draft? The Royals and Tigers both underwent rebuilds at about the same time, and after some fits and starts, they are both off to good starts in 2024 that could signal a new era for each franchise. Both have had success through dominant pitching early on. The Tigers largely developed theirs in-house, while th...2024Visit the page White Sox rumors -
• Yes, another one-run lossErick Fedde almost made it through five innings in his debut White Sox outing this afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. | Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports What a White Sox way to start the season!

• Crochet, White Sox drop heartbreaking opener, 1-0Today is the day Garrett Crochet became President. | Quinn Harris/Getty Images Eight Ks, no walks from the southpaw well offset by 11 Ks, no walks from his offense When it’s said that one pitch can make or break a game, that doesn’t only refer to walk-off homers. In a stunning and heroic, but ultimately heartbreaking effort, Garrett Crochet defied expectations with a taut six innings of on...2024Click for news about White Sox news -
• 2024 AL Central preview: The search for signs of life beyond MinnesotaPhoto by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Twins needed only 87 wins to take the division title in 2023. The ceiling probably won’t be much higher. In 2023, the AL Central was easily the worst division in baseball. It wasn’t in danger of going full 1994 AL West or anything, but at the All-Star break, the Cleveland Guardians were in first place at a dead-even 45-45. All four...2024Visit the page AL Central latest news -
• Royals Rumblings - News for March 19, 2024Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images How do the Royals rank at catcher depth? David Lesky writes about the competition for fifth starter in the rotation. The thing about Lynch is the upside is there but I don’t see what I once saw. As I said before, maybe I never should have seen it, but I did and so did many others. My concern for him so far this spring is that the velocity simply hasn’t ...2024Visit the page Michael Reaves latest news

• A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 2021Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images Oh, man. Here we go. The Cubs’ World Series core was given one more chance at contention in 2021. And they did get off to a good start. After a combined no-hitter over the Dodgers June 24, they were 42-33 and tied for first place in the NL Central. An 11-game losing streak followed, and overall they went 5-17 in their next 22 games, which put up the “FOR...2024See more Matt Dirksen injury status -

• 2023 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 160Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports Four straight losses essentially end the Cubs’ season. The Cubs 2023 season ends in a fiery train wreck. Even in a season filled with ups and downs, this feels wrong. The post mortems are going to suggest that this team was a fake or an imposter. There will be all sorts of takes that suggest that this team choked down the stretch. None of that feels fair. Thi...2023See more articles Marcus Stroman injury update -
• Tigers series preview: Farewell, Miguel CabreraPhoto by Ed Zurga/Getty Images The future Hall of Famer won’t terrorize the Royals anymore. Miguel Cabrera will play his last week in the big leagues, and Royals pitchers can breathe a sigh of relief. He has terrorized Kansas City in his 21-year big league career that will culminate with induction into Cooperstown someday. No opposing hitter has more hits against the Royals than Cabrera’s ...2023See more articles Miguel Cabrera injuries -

Since the last update in this series, the Cubs took two of three from a good Brewers team, split a series in Cincinnati that they should probably have won, and dominated the Giants in that series opener at Wrigley Field.

"Facing Javier Báez to open the third, and putting him in an 0-2 hole, Crochet and catcher Martín Maldonado opted not to roll the ball to the plate and induce an easy whiff from the notoriously free-swinging clown prince but a center-cut fastball that was slapped to right for a single." - 2023
"This is the first time the Cubs have had at least three players earn Gold Gloves in a season and the first time the team has been honored with multiple award winners since 2020 when first baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Javier Báez were named Gold Glove winners." - 2022
"When longtime players like Contreras (or, last year, Javier Báez, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo) are traded, some institutional memory goes with them." - 2021
"Javier Báez trade: Mets acquire Cubs star in trade deadline blockbuster, per report" - 2020
"While he didn’t mention them by name, star infielders Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Báez are the obvious players that come to mind." - 2018

"#JB9 @cubs A video posted by Javier Báez (@javy23baez) on May 5, 2016 at 12:55pm PDT Most of the players seemed to enjoy the impromptu concert, although we can’t tell if outfielder Dexter Fowler is in that group."

Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Cubs rally for a 10-7 win behind a wild fifth inning! A couple of quick thoughts off of the top here. First, this felt like one of the longest Cub games of the year (and as it turned out, it was the longest nine-inning game the Cubs have played in 2023).

Getty Images Wait, hear me out. Unpopular opinion: The Cubs should make a trade with the Tigers and reunite with Javier Báez. The Cubs are in the market for a shortstop.
