This is another pitcher added to the Cubs' shaky room.
The Cubs have claimed right-hander Eduarniel Núñez off waivers from the Orioles, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The Cubs had two vacancies on the 40-man roster and don’t need to make a...

This trade idea is not a terrible one.
Chicago likes Shaw, but it has bigger needs.

I’ll keep this quick because it’s not really worth a deep dive at this point, but Pete Crow-Armstrong does deserve to be recognized for how well he’s been playing of late. There was a time earlier...
Cody Bellinger hit a tiebreaking home run with two outs to start a five-run eighth inning, and the New York Yankees recorded a 6-1 victory over the vi
I know it’s early to talk about the offseason — especially an offseason that will very likely be disrupted by a lockout — but one of the most interesting free agents the Cubs could conceivably...
Pete Crow-Armstrong is having one HELL of a week. On Wednesday, he homered. On Thursday, he homered and walked it off for the Cubs. On Saturday, he homered TWICE, as part of a four-hit game,...
Things aren't looking too good for the Cubs right now.
