Less than a week after the MLB Draft, the Cubs have already signed their first-round pick, Cade Townsend, whom they took 23rd overall last week. He’s officially a Cubs prospect, and instantly one of the best pitchers in the farm system. Jim Callis of MLB.com has reported that the deal is [...]

This time of year, post-All-Star-break and post-Draft, we do start to see some movement on the trade market. Particular fits, or aggressive buyers, for example. What’s a little more rare is a seller opening itself up for all manner of trades too far out from the Trade Deadline, though. For [...]

Among the many in-season reclamation swings taken by the Cubs as their needs in the bullpen swelled, Liam Hendriks and Aaron Bummer were probably most well-known and well-experienced, as far as former big leaguers go.
