In case I haven’t banged the drum loudly
enough, the Chicago Cubs could stand to add a
starting pitcher. Ted Lilly’s return in 2010 will be delayed, and his performance will be uncertain. Rich Harden isn’t returning at all. Randy Wells is no lock to repeat his early success. ...

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today ,

Even though the Chicago Cubs probably should be
in the market for some starting pitching depth, they
are not. The relative virtue of such a decision, I will leave to you, good reader. I will say only: Zambrano, Dempster, Wells, ?, ? That said, even if the Cubs were looking for a pitcher, that ...

The deal hasn’t officially been announced yet, but
it’s expected to be two years and $7.5 million.
Hopefully Grabow turned a corner last year (as so many players do in their 30s…), and can be a successful staple at the back end of the Cubs’ pen this year. Related ...

The Chicago Cubs bullpen was set to become
crowded with the imminent elevation of the Esmailin Caridads,
Blake Parkers, Jon Gaubs, and Jeff Stevens of the Cubs’ system. Thus, that they’ve started the dumping party is unsurprising. And in this case, welcomed. Today, the Cubs sent ...

For those Chicago Cubs fans holding out hope
that the team would take interest in signing free

The Chicago Cubs are on the verge of
doing what they do so well in the Jim
Hendry era: resigning the players they want to keep. Unfortunately, they’re also on the verge of doing what they do so crappily: signing middle relievers with short track records of success to contracts for too ...

Increasingly, Milton Bradley trade rumors center on bad
contracts coming back to the Chicago Cubs as opposed
to the Cubs eating a bunch of Bradley’s contract. That is both good and bad: it could be better financially for the Cubs, and it could knock out two birds with one stone, depending ...

slide Kosuke Fukudome back to his natural position, right field. That will leave a hole in center field, that is currently the subject of certain OMGranderson rumors. But Granderson, for all our ...
