• Cubs Linked to Walker Buehler, Shane Bieber Generating Serious Interest
The Cubs are prioritizing pitching this offseason, with Max Fried being mentioned most often as a good fit. The only problem is that he’s going to cost them a lot more than his presumed nine-figure contract because the Braves extended him a qualifying offer. Signing a QO player doesn’t seem to fit Jed Hoyer’s philosophy … The post Cubs Linked to Walker Buehler, Shane Bieber...2024

Roki Sasaki pitches for Japan during the 2023 World Baseball Classic | Sam Navarro-Imagn Images There are a lot of positives in the Cubs’ favor. It’s been widely assumed that whenever the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan’s NPB post Roki Sasaki so he can come to MLB next year, he’ll sign with the Dodgers. Or if not, perhaps the Padres. This posting isn’t likely to happen for a few weeks, becaus...2024
