The 2026 MLB Draft is this weekend, Saturday, July 11 (rounds 1 through 4) and Sunday, July 12 (rounds 5 through 20). It’s arguably the most important event of the year in the life blood of an...

Another day, another pitching addition for the Cubs. As first reported by Marquee’s Lance Brozdowski, the Cubs have signed lefty Josh Fleming to a minor league deal after he was released by the...
It’s an endless supply. Probably fun. Another top prospect is coming up to join the Milwaukee Brewers, and it’s another one on a long-term contract: The Brewers are calling up OF Luis Lara, per...
The Cubs (50-40) lost their first series in almost a month when they dropped two of three to the rival Cardinals at Wrigley Field over the Fourth of July weekend. The offense that had been rolling...
Although it isn’t necessarily surprising that these two Chicago Cubs prospects won the highest honors for their league in the month of June – we talked about them quite a few times – I don’t want...
