• Minor League Wrap: Owen Caissie hits 1st Triple-A HR in Iowa’s 4-3 win

Owen Caissie | Lily Smith/The Register / USA TODAY NETWORK Solid wins for Iowa and Tennessee. Embarrassing losses for South Bend and Myrtle Beach. It’s very disorienting looking at the I-Cubs box score and seeing Levi Jordan and P.J. Higgins in the lineup and not recognizing the rest of the names. And then you realize you’re looking at the Bats lineup. Baseball America has added South Ben...2024

• Minor League Wrap: Shaw homers twice, but Smokies fall to Lookouts 7-5

Matt Shaw | Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images Everyone lost today, but there were a few standout hitting performances. Pitching? Not so much.

• The Cubs roster for the Spring Breakout game features Matt Shaw and Owen Caissie

Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images MLB released the rosters for this upcoming game. You have seen Owen Caissie and Matt Shaw in some Cubs Spring Training games, and both have impressed with their hitting.

Photo by David Durochik/Diamond Images via Getty Images The Cubs prospect looks healthy, at last. Brennen Davis was all over Top 100 prospect lists from 2020-22 and played in the 2021 Futures Game. The outfielder, who the Cubs took in the second round in 2018 out of high school in Arizona, seemed like one of those proverbial “can’t-miss” prospects, a guy who was going to make the big leagu...2024

After a combined no-hitter over the Dodgers June 24, they were 42-33 and tied for first place in the NL Central. An 11-game losing streak followed, and overall they went 5-17 in their next 22 games, which put up the “FOR...2024

"The Cubs cut the lead to 3-2 in the sixth on a solo homer by Kevin Alcántara [VIDEO]."

2023
"Kevin Alcántara — who has tremendous talent, even if he’s still some time away from the major leagues — led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a double by Bradley Beesley."

2022
"And beyond 2023, the trades Hoyer made last year, acquiring players like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alexander Canario, Kevin Alcántara and others, as well as some good draft picks beginning to develop, should begin to bear fruit at the major league level."
