• Chicago Cubs Lineup (2/22/25): Alcántara Leads Off, Mo Baller at Cleanup, Steele Starting
The Cubs have firmly established themselves as the best team in baseball with a pair of convincing wins over the Dodgers, so now it’s time to face a lesser opponent.

• Cubs 12, Dodgers 4: Welcome to our robo-ump overlordsMajor League Baseball MLB’s ABS challenge system test was used for the first time. The Cubs — or, more accurately, a bunch of miscellaneous guys wearing Cubs uniforms — defeated the Dodgers in the 2025 Spring Training opener 12-4 Thursday afternoon in Glendale, Arizona.

• A way-too-early look at the Cubs 2025 Opening Day rosterMajor League Baseball It’s still January and there could be additions to come. Before I get into this list — and it’s likely to change perhaps even before Spring Training begins — here’s the caveat. This is a look at who will take the field for the Cubs Thursday, March 27 against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field — not who will open the actual 2025 season against the Dodgers Tuesday, March 1...2025Read about Spring Training injuries -

• Here’s the Cubs’ entire 40-man roster and what might happen with it this offseasonPhoto by Griffin Quinn/MLB Photos via Getty Images The team has many decisions to make. 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. So I thought I’d e...2024Read about MLB Photos injuries -

• A few thoughts about Jed Hoyer, Craig Counsell and Cubs managementPhoto 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...2024Read about Jed Hoyer injuries
Timeline
- 2025
"Moises Ballesteros walked, and Kevin Alcántara scored Busch with a single." - 2024
"The Cubs cut the lead to 3-2 in the sixth on a solo homer by Kevin Alcántara [VIDEO]." - 2023
"Kevin Alcántara — who has tremendous talent, even if he’s still some time away from the major leagues — led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a double by Bradley Beesley." - 2022
"And beyond 2023, the trades Hoyer made last year, acquiring players like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alexander Canario, Kevin Alcántara and others, as well as some good draft picks beginning to develop, should begin to bear fruit at the major league level."

• The Kyle Tucker trade by the numbersPhoto 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.

• 2024 Cubs final season gradesPhoto 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...2024Read about Matt Dirksen -

Photo by @WillByington / www.willbyington.com This year, we hope, was a transition from the bad into the good. One thing I think many have forgotten about the 2022 baseball season is how close we came to losing it — all of it.
