This weekend at the Cubs Convention, everyone said all the right things about the Chicago Cubs’ theoretical infield overload, with Alex Bregman coming in to be the starting third baseman, Nico Hoerner holding down second base, and Matt Shaw moving into a super-utility role. That’s the approach that makes for the best 2026 roster, and it’s the way things are expected to go as we sit here today.

Earlier today, the team added Kiefer Sherwood in a trade with Vancouver, a move that will have a significant impact on the forward grouping, though we’re not sure how just yet.

And while Braxton Jones was activated from injured reserve, playing him in a playoff game didn’t feel ...

He is a member of a very select fraternity. It’s a fraternity that goes beyond the usual small fraternity of former major league baseball players.
