I’ve chosen a few different formats for this series now that the Cubs play all 29 other teams every year. Sorry, I’m not writing 29 of these. This year, I’ll focus an article on each of the Cubs’ NL Central rivals, since the Cubs play them more than any other teams. That’ll make four articles. […]
The Cubs are signing Michael Conforto
It wouldn’t seem as if the Cubs need any more outfielders at this point in Spring Training, but now they reportedly have one: This is all the information we have about the Cubs signing Michael Conforto at this time. We don’t know if this is a minor-league deal or a major-league deal. If the latter, […]

Giants 4, Cubs 2: Seiya Suzuki singles into a triple play
I didn’t go to this game but I kind of wish I had just because of all the weird things that happened in the Cubs’ 4-2 loss to the Giants Sunday afternoon in Scottsdale. First, as the Cubs were batting in the top of the first inning, a loud beeping sound (like a truck backing […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Boyd, PCA, Shaw
The Cubs were at it again at Sloan Park on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. A mite cool for locals but clear and sunny. Just ask PCA how sunny. Sources say they’re still adding less-well-known players. “Everyone’s replaceable in this game,” Taillon said after giving up three runs in two innings in the Chicago Cubs’ spring […]
Rangers 3, Cubs 2: Well, there were a lot of strikeouts
MESA, Arizona — Cubs pitchers struck out 14 Rangers hitters Saturday afternoon on another gorgeous day at Sloan Park. For whatever that’s worth. A few Cubs regulars and a bunch of minor leaguers couldn’t put together much offense, though, and so the Cubs lost their second straight Spring Training game, 3-2 to Texas. Matthew Boyd […]
