• Minor League Wrap: South Bend shuts out Rive Bandits, 6-0

Jonathon Long at Long Beach State | Photo by Katharine Lotze/Getty Images South Bend shuts out Quad Cities. That’s the end of the good news. Outfielder Bradlee Beesley was promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Iowa. The Cubs signed right-handed pitcher Nico Zeglin and assigned him to Low-A Myrtle Beach. Zeglin had been pitching out of the Mexican League and had pitched collegiately for Gon...2024

Riley Thompson | Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Iowa pitchers come up strong. Tennessee and South Bend, not as much. Right-hander Chris Kachmar got sent back down to Tennessee after one game in Iowa. It’s looking like Kachmar is going to be on the Des Moines/Knoxville shuttle all year long, since this is the second time he’s gone from Tennessee to Iowa and back this season. Iowa Cub...2024

Thus, they made the following roster moves today: The Cubs today selected right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer and recalled right-handed pitcher Hayden Wes...2024

The Cubs made a series of moves to freshen up a bullpen that has underperformed while being overworked lately, bringing in two new arms and clearing a spot on the 40-man. Daniel Palencia and Luke Little have been optioned to Triple-A Iowa and have been replaced by Hayden Wesneski and Colten Brewer.

Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images I can’t even... Whatever that game was, I did not like it one bit. Well, perhaps that’s too harsh. The Cubs scored a lot of runs! They got a key grand slam from Ian Happ! They were one out away from victory... Nope. Sorry.

• 2024 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 13

Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Too many walks allowed, too few hits doom Cubs in Seattle. Two weeks do not make a baseball season by any means. However, I chuckle every time I hear someone say that the Cubs didn’t really do anything in the offseason. Certainly, running it back with a team that didn’t reach the playoffs and hoping that internal growth seems like a silly plan. That said, ...2024

Let me stipulate something right now, before we get into the “Cubs should have signed Jordan Montgomery!” argument again. It’s clear that ownership has, at least for the time being, established a payroll level for the Cubs that will not go over the first level of luxury tax, which this year is $237...2024
