The Cubs are planning to select the contract of corner infielder B.J. Murray when rosters expand tomorrow, per Robert Murray of FanSided. The Bahamas Baseball Association was first to report that the Bahamian-born switch-hitter was on his way to the majors. He’s not on the 40-man roster, but Chicago has [...]

CUBS LINEUP — Because of their poor performance over the last week-and-a-half (or so), the Cubs enter this four-game series against the Brewers with a lot less to gain than we thought they might But winning as many games as possible is still critically important, as the Cubs’ lead in the [...]

It’s hot as hell across the Midwest, which is fitting since the Cubs’ chances of winning the division are about as strong as a snowball’s chance of remaining in solid form. They trail the Brewers by eight games heading into Monday’s action, so even sweeping the next seven games in [...]

As first reported by Amajahl Knowles, sports editor for the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas, Cubs infield prospect BJ Murray will be the newest Bahamian in MLB. The move is expected to be finalized once rosters expand on September 1, at which point Murray will have to be added to [...]

That headline reads like a Mad Lib, but it’s entirely true. As reported by Variety and other outlets, the Cubs have announced a September 4 release for “Nine Innings to Love,” a romantic comedy inspired by the real-life trope of fans meeting and falling for each other at Cubs games. No [...]

The Cubs have released reliever Hoby Milner, per his MLB.com transactions log. The club initially placed him on waivers last week, then designated him for assignment.

Although the pitching side of the September roster expansion gets more of the attention these days, the Chicago Cubs also get to add another position player tomorrow (rosters expand from 13 pitchers and 13 position players to 14 pitchers and 14 position players). Who’ll come up for the Cubs? Well, [...]

The Cubs cobbled together a strong enough run through July and early August to recover from their brutal stretch from mid-May into June. Just when they had an opportunity to convert that into big postseason, value, though, they've sagged again, instead. [...]

It is not new information that the International Free Agent world is rife with corruption, fraud, and adults using children to make big money. There’s a lot of good in the system – life-changing money for players and families, a tremendous opportunity for some players who might not otherwise have [...]

Shota Imanaga was hit hard on Sunday, causing many to wonder if, like Jason Hammel a decade ago, the Chicago Cubs could leave him off a postseason roster. [...]

Well that’s not how I expected to be finishing that headline. Instead of releasing a player on September 4, the Chicago Cubs will be releasing a romantic comedy about finding love at Cubs games. As in, this is coming directly from the Cubs. They are now in the scripted content [...]

There are two things I want to make sure to say here at the top of this post. First: Shota Imanaga has often been an excellent big league starting pitcher, has the potential to be great on any given day, and is one of the most likable Cubs players of [...]

Not to be outdone by Pete Crow-Armstrong‘s three homers in Saturday’s win over the Reds, Shōta Imanaga added three dingers of his own in Sunday’s loss. The problem is that his counted against his team. So just as PCA vaulted himself into pole position for the NL MVP, Imanaga jumped [...]

The Cubs (77-60) are scuffling right now, having gone 3-7 in their last 10 games with three consecutive series losses. The bullpen has been a big factor in those struggles, as evidenced by several blown leads in the late innings. They have fallen eight games behind the Brewers in the [...]

The Cubs recent struggles continued on Sunday night when they dropped a third consecutive series, this time to the Reds. Two more home runs by MVP front-runner Pete Crow-Armstrong were not enough to overcome the four blasted by the road team in the loss. For the second day in a row, [...]
