    • The Kyle Tucker trade by the numbers
    Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images This is a big swing by a normally cautious front office. On Friday Jed Hoyer completed what I consider to be the biggest trade during his time as Cubs President of Baseball Operations. The Cubs traded for elite outfielder Kyle Tucker in a deal that sent a slew of Cubs MLB-level talent, and one very promising prospect, to the Astros in r...2024

    Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images A potpourri of things for you on Monday morning. Juan Soto has signed with the Mets. That, you already know, and you can read more reaction in this morning’s Outside The Confines. You knew he wasn’t coming to the Cubs, right? I think we all knew that, or should have. Here’s the only thing I have to say about that. The Cubs have made it pretty clear that ...2024

After Tuesday’s two Cubs DFAs (Adbert Alzolay and Brennen Davis) to make room for two players (Owen Caissie and Ben Cowles) the team wanted to protect from the Rule 5 Draft, the 40-man roster is once again full. That, obviously, isn’t goin...2024

Last week, I posted this article about the 14 (!) players the Cubs have who are arbitration-eligible for 2025. In the poll attached to that article, 57 percent of you said the Cubs would non-tender at least seven of those players, with some commenting that it might be as many as nine.

    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

    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024

Back in the day — well, as recently as 2021 — teams could expand their active rosters in September to include the entire 40-man roster. The Cubs wound up doing that in ‘21, in fact, setting a record for players used in a season (69) that likely will never be broken. ...2024
