2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Daniel Palencia
Daniel Jesus Palencia, the 26-year-old Venezuelan native, is the Cubs’ current closer. It’s his second year in the top spot, and so far he looks like he plans to stay there. Palencia throws the ball hard and has evidenced decent control of his offerings. Last year, he had a losing record (1-6), but also logged […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Ballesteros, Cabrera, Happ
Let’s be frank: The Brewers telecast on Marquee was disconcerting, to say the least, just like the Reds broadcast the other day. Sharing that content is another way to enhance the bottom line, I guess, but it sure sucks from this fan’s point of view. The ESPN/MLB.TV crap is off-putting to start with. So many […]

Brewers unable to muster up enough offense in 4-1 spring loss to Cubs
Box Score Despite a vintage performance from Christian Yelich, who reached base three times in his spring debut, Milwaukee fell to the Chicago Cubs 4-1. Chicago jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and never looked back. In the top of the first, Brandon Sproat made short work of the Cubs, retiring the top of […]
Cubs 4, Brewers 1: Moisés Ballesteros is good at challenges
The Cubs got some good pitching performances Wednesday afternoon against the Brewers, but a potentially even bigger story was four ABS challenges made by Moisés Ballesteros, all of which he got right! That’s a skill that can definitely translate to MLB regular season games. Perhaps there’s hope for Ballesteros to do some MLB catching after […]

Today we look at one of the Cubs’ camp arms, who might, MIGHT have a shot at the MLB bullpen. It’s up to him. Jack Preston Neely came to the Cubs, along with on again/off-again Cub Ben Cowles, for Mark Leiter Jr. He’s got a live arm but tends to walk himself into trouble. Stop […]

The Cleveland Guardians never look great when the season starts and somehow, they manage to win.

Chicago White Sox Key […]

Italy 9, Cubs 4: The Cubs defeat the Cubs
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs wore their white pinstripe home jerseys for the exhibition game against Team Italy, and that was more than just a pleasant view. Before the game started I saw a few Cubs minor leaguers enter Sloan Park wearing the blue alternates and wondered why. “Why” was because several of them played […]
