• What’s next for the Cubs now that Roki Sasaki is going somewhere else?

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images They do have some choices. But they had better get going. As we learned late Monday, the Cubs will not be the MLB landing spot for NPB star Roki Sasaki. He has narrowed his choices to three teams: Dodgers, Padres and Blue Jays. I think I’m not alone when I say I hope it’s either of the two teams besides the Dodgers. In fact, if he did choose the Jays, t...2025

• Another updated look at the 2025 Cubs roster, payroll and luxury tax

Photo by Mary Turner/Getty Images The Cubs still have a lot of space under the luxury tax. Spend it, Jed. Now that the deadline for arbitration-eligible players to sign before hearings has passed and Kyle Tucker is the only such Cub unsigned for this year, I thought it would be a good idea to take another look at the 2025 team payroll, projected roster and luxury tax situation.

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images The Cubs just completed their best road trip in many years. You did not expect an 8-1 Cubs road trip. None of us did. And yet, the Cubs, playing their best baseball of the year, did it at exactly the time they needed to, completing a three-game sweep of the Nationals with a convincing 14-1 win. It’s their sixth win in a row, a season high. They’ve also w...2024

There’s always a rally within them, and that was the case again Saturday in a come-from-behind 5-3 win over the Nationals...2024

With the recent CBA changes, teams now have active rosters of 26 pl...2024
