• Nationals Prospects: Alex Clemmey is the biggest wild card in the organizationEric Rueb / The Providence Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK Washington Nationals youngster Alex Clemmey has huge stuff, but also has a huge walk problem Alex Clemmey is one of the most fascinating prospects in the Washington Nationals organization. On one hand, he has some of the best stuff in the organization. Guys simply can’t hit him. However, with how wild he is, they often don’t need to ge...2025See more articles Alex Clemmey latest news -
• Cubs 2, Reds 0: A good old-fashioned pitchers’ duelPhoto by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images And Ben Brown was magnificent. So maybe this idea of having an opener for Ben Brown’s turn in the rotation is... pretty good? Drew Pomeranz threw a 1-2-3 first inning on only nine pitches and then Brown shut the door on the Reds. He threw six one-hit innings, striking out nine and issuing only one walk, by far his best outing of 2025. The Cubs then got ...2025Click for news about Ben Brown breaking news -
• Today in Cubs history: The Cubs win when Gregory Polanco trips over his own feetPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images There are many ways to win games, and this was one of the weirdest. The Cubs, revamped with some free-agent signings (Jon Lester, in particular), a new manager (Joe Maddon) and a prized rookie (Kris Bryant), had gotten off to a decent start in 2015. Entering the action May 15 they were 19-15 and five games behind the first-place Cardinals in the NL Cen...2025Continue with Gregory Polanco -
• Marlins 3, Cubs 1: The Jameson Taillon questionPhoto by Michael Reaves/Getty Images What’s going on with the Cubs righthander? This recap of the Cubs’ 3-1 loss to the Marlins Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field is going to be fairly short and to the point. Partly, that’s because this game was the shortest of the year so far for the Cubs: Two hours, 11 minutes. As you know, I’m always a fan of shorter games. (More so, of course, if the C...2025Read about Jameson Taillon breaking news today -
• Mets 7, Cubs 2: Flush this one and move onBrad Penner-Imagn Images It wasn’t Jameson Taillon’s night. Francisco Lindor hit Jameson Taillon’s third pitch of the night out of Citi Field. That produced this not-so-fun fact, from BCB’s JohnW53: The homer by Francisco Lindor was the fourth this season allowed by the Cubs to the first opposing batter of a game. Shota Imanaga did it at home vs. the Rangers on April 9. Ben Brown did it a...2025See more articles Brad Penner breaking news today -
• The Biggest Trade In Nationals History Looks Better Every DayThe 2022 Nationals found themselves at a crossroads. Washington had sold at the prior year's trade deadline, shipping Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers, sending Kyle Schwarber to the Red Sox, dealing Daniel Hudson to the Padres and trading Jon Lester to the Cardinals. The organization's steadfast hope had been that even while…...2025Continue with Max Scherzer breaking news today

• Cubs free agent target: Max FriedPhoto by Kevin D. Liles/Atlanta Braves/Getty Images The Cubs say they might go after more pitching. So why not?

• My summer baseball reading listJust take a look, it’s in a book. When I was about 10 years old, I got really into baseball. I was a bookish kid already, so anytime I went to the library I checked out two kinds of books - Matt Christopher novels and baseball biographies. Matt Christopher wrote a series of fictional kids books about baseball like Catcher with a Glass Arm and The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, which I loved. I also love...2024Continue with Johnny Bench -
