    • A few thoughts about the Cubs and Jed Hoyer going over the luxury tax in 2024
    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images It didn’t have to happen. But since it did, let’s look forward, not back. Late Friday afternoon, figures on the teams that went over MLB’s Competitive Balance Tax were posted online. Now, the first thing about this is the timing. Friday afternoon? Late? Before a week where a lot of people are going to start heading out for the holidays? Of course. This ...2024

    • A few thoughts about Jed Hoyer, Craig Counsell and Cubs management
    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs fell short of the postsason. How can they fix that? More than two years ago, I posted an article here headlined “The Cubs should fire Jed Hoyer.” Last June, I posted this followup on the topic. That’s just so you know I am no fan of the Cubs President of Baseball Operations. While he has done some good things in that position, overall I believe...2024

    • How the Brewers’ 2024 season ranks in franchise history
    Benny Sieu-Imagn Images With a week and a half to go in the regular season, the 2024 Brewers have set some impressive marks With the Brewers clinching the NL Central yesterday, they have just 10 games to go to finish out the regular season. While they’re still in the hunt for a first-round bye, it’s looking more likely that they are heading to the wild card round. There are still some othe...2024

One year ago tomorrow, I posted an article provocatively headlined “The Cubs should fire Jed Hoyer.” Admittedly, some or maybe even most of that article was knee-jerk, based on things that were happening with the team at the time, a team that most of us hoped would contend, but entering play on ...2024

    • Could Brice Turang be having the best baserunning season in franchise history?
    Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports Turang is having an incredible year on the basepaths So far this season, Brice Turang has stolen 26 bases and been caught only once. His baserunning prowess has been a frequent topic of conversation, and it’s not just his prodigious ability to steal bases. Turang has been taking extra bases, getting infield hits, avoiding double plays, everything. It had me wo...2024

    Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports You probably would rather forget these, but here they are. As I did for yesterday’s “5 best Cubs games of 2022,” these are highly subjective choices. YMMV, as they say. And again, this is not a ranking, these are simply listed in chronological order.

    Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images Let’s look at the players who were on the Cubs active roster at season’s end, plus a few others. Sixty-four men played for the Chicago Cubs this year, five short of the franchise (and MLB) record the team set last year. I am certain you don’t want, or need, to see grades for all 64 men who wore the blue pinstripes in 2022. So I’m limiting this to the 28 p...2022
