The Cubs started spring training with a few minor injuries to a couple pitchers and a scary HBP to David Bote. Luckily, things are trending in the right direction on the injury front for the Cubs. Right-handed pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay felt something in his side right before pitchers and catchers reported to Mesa. No […]

Star third baseman Nolan Arenado has agreed to an eight-year contract extension with the Colorado Rockies. The 27-year-old was going to hit free agency after the 2019 season, but the Rockies made sure to lock him, signing him to a $260 million deal.

Of all seven rounds in the draft, that one has gone the longest without producing a Pro Bowler or All-Pro. First round? Mitch Trubisky. Second round? Cody Whitehair. Fourth round? Eddie […]

Maybe the most disheartening second-half struggle by any Cubs player in 2018 was Willson Contreras.
