• Spring Training finale gamethreadMark Canha #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers bats | Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images The Royals will show off their new outfielder at the last possible moment. Well, it took the Royals until literally the last day of Spring Training, but they finally added some help to their outfield in the form of right-hander Mark Canha. Canha is 36 years old and if he finishes the season on the team, either...2025Continue with Spring Training breaking news -

• 2025 Cubs player profiles: Jack NeelyPhoto by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Neely is likely to start in Iowa but he might have tickets to the bullpen as well. He’s a good prospect with velocity and size. Jack Neely, No. 47 in your program guide, was acquired by the Cubs last summer, along with Ben Cowles, for Mark Leiter Jr. He has a cool mustache and a good delivery, is 24 years old, and maybe has a future. He’s lis...2025See more articles Jack Neely news today -

• Cubs 7, White Sox 3: The wins just keep on comingKamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs looked sharp against their crosstown rivals. MESA, Arizona — It’s pretty sad when, apart from Luis Robert Jr., the most recognizable member of the White Sox travel squad that appeared at Sloan Park Saturday was their manager, Will Venable, who was a Cubs coach from 2018-20. Oh, I guess their starting catcher Saturday, Matt Thaiss, was a Cub for about...2025See also White Sox breaking news today -

Major League Baseball announced that it has approved a roster substitution for the Yankees, with right-hander Ian Hamilton replaced by fellow righty Mark Leiter Jr. Playoff rules dictate that a player removed due to an injury is ineligible to play in that series as well as the following one, so Hamilton won’t be eligible to…...2024Check it out Ian Hamilton injury status

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 130Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs offense explodes in a 14-2 win. Finally! After an interminably long road, this team made it back to .500. Unfortunately, the trip back took so long that it’s unlikely this team can continue on and get into legitimate contention. Fangraphs has the Cubs projected for 82 wins and a 3.3 percent chance of making the postseason. I’m not prepared to quibble ...2024Click for news about Patrick Wisdom injury report -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 129Albert Cesare/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK The Cubs win the opener in Miami, 6-3. On April 26, the Cubs reached their high water mark at 17-9. That was a start so fantastic that the Cubs could go .500 the rest of the way and they’d win 85 games. 85 wins would have reached the playoffs last season and figures to be within a game or two this year at worst. As we all know, the bottom fe...2024Check it out Craig Counsell injury update -
• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 114Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs win 6-2 and take three of four from the Cards. I’ve been critical of this team for a while now. A combination of under achievement, sloppiness and injuries have waylaid the team’s hopes. They’ve played much better ball the last month than they have since the first month of the season. But with the amount of ground they’d need to make up to get...2024Check it out Nuccio DiNuzzo availability report -

After a lackluster series split against the Marlins, the Cubs needed a game like their 7-2 win over the Astros Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field to show themselves, and everyone else, that they’re still the strong contending team many expected them to be this year.

I know I’m having a selective memory problem, but I just feel like every year there is some disappointment involving games with the Marlins. Some of them are obvious. The recent post season loss. The 2003 soul-crushing NLCS loss. Heck, go all the way back to 1997 and they were a...2024Check it out Adbert Alzolay injury report -

• Cubs 7, Blue Jays 5: At last, a win in Canada
Photo by Mark Blinch/Getty Images The Cubs ended a 14-year losing streak north of the border. TORONTO — It required six relievers (seven, if you count Luke Farrell on what was a bullpen day) and some timely hitting, but Wednesday night the Cubs ended a losing streak in Canada that had lasted more than 14 years. Sure, it was only a five-game Canadian losing streak (three in 2014, the first ...2022See more Blue Jays

There have been other years when I’ve posted a number of blowout losses in this annual recap. In some ways, those are easier to take, a team runs up a huge score against the Cubs but it still counts for only one loss. Other times I’ve filled these with soul-crushing defeats.
