(Not Justin) Turner is ready for baseball season!

Jason Kempf, formerly of the Charleston RiverDogs of the Carolina League, is the new voice of the Iowa Cubs.

Rest in Power Roberta Flack

Ivan Brethowr was a Cubs seventh-round pick out of UC Santa Barbara last year. He was a two-time All-Big West First Team selection for the Gauchos after transferring out of Arizona State. His first Major League Spring Training at-bat: A three-run homer, 382 feet, 108.4 mph EV

I already thought that Gage Workman was going to make the Cubs Opening Day roster, but today has been a big step in making that happen.

Chicago Cubs Reportedly Designating Alexander Canario for Assignment

Who needs Alex Bregman when you've got Matt Shaw?

Who's the third baseman of the quarter century? Plus Hitchcock finale.

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

Who is the Cubs center fielder of the quarter century?

The Cubs offered 4 years, $120 million

I was fine with the Cubs getting Bregman and I was fine with the Cubs not getting Bregman. I’m very fine with the Cubs not giving him $40 million a year. I’m just worried about what that means for a Kyle Tucker extension.

You know we're getting closer to Spring Training when the #Cubs non-roster invitees list comes out. #MLB

Great news for Cubs fans! bsky.app/profile/blea...

The Chicago Cubs are acquiring right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, sources tell ESPN. Brasier, 37, was DFA'd last week but should get leverage innings for Chicago.

A Junior Lake sighting in the Caribbean Series.

Right-hander Max Scherzer and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a one-year, $15.5 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The Blue Jays have been interested in Scherzer for weeks now, and the deal for him to join their rotation is done. First on the news was @JonHeyman.

Meet the newest member of my family, Turner! He's a 9-month old shelter dog. They think he's a Maltipoo. We know he's a very, very good dog.

Hey, MLB Network. Why did you have to rank Kyle Tucker as a better right fielder than Juan Soto before the Cubs could start negotiations on an extension?

Per @feinsand.bsky.social: Cubs have agreed to a 1-year deal with Jon Berti, per Feinsand’s sources. Berti gets $2M base, plus $1.3M in incentives. Boosts Chicago’s bench.

Kinda feel like Northern Illinois would be putting up a better fight here.

All the #Cubs' arbitration-eligible players for 2025 are now signed. #MLB

The finalists for Japanese star right-hander Roki Sasaki are the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN. Sasaki will decide on his team by the closing of his posting window Jan. 23.

I still think Sasaki is going to LA or SD, but the fact that the Cubs haven't been mentioned as an "out" team either means that they've got a better chance than I thought or the Cubs front office is even more tight-lipped than I thought possible.

Cubs and Kyle Tucker fail to come to agreement before arbitration. Cubs offered $15 million. Tucker asked for $17.5 million. Jesse Rogers with the report.

Brian Matusz was a member of the 2016 Cubs. Barely, but he made 1 start on July 31, giving up 6 runs over 3 inn vs. Seattle. The Cubs bullpen held them the rest of the way and the Cubs won 7-6 in 12 inn on the famous Jon Lester squeeze bunt. Cubs DFA'd him the next day. Rest in peace, Brian.

Slugger Brent Rooker and the Athletics are in agreement on a five-year, $60 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a sixth-year vesting option at $22 million that can escalate. Another big-money deal for A’s as they spend. First on the news was @Ken_Rosenthal.

I'm now 1-0 as a Notre Dame fan.
