March 27, 2014 by · Leave a Comment 

The 2014 MLB season could be another long one for Chicago Cubs fans, but there is also plenty of reason for optimism on the North Side with a fantastic farm system and an influx of high-end young talent making its way ever closer to Wrigley Field. As for the 2014 season, though, it could be another long one, as the offense looks subpar at best and the pitching staff is still a work in progress. A return to form for Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro would at least give the team a pair of stars to build around, but new manager ...

His named popped up in trade rumors at the deadline last year and at various times throughout the offseason, but he ...

The Chicago Cubs are set to kick off year three of their rebuilding efforts under Theo Epstein and Co., and while it could be another long season on the North Side, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Masahiro Tanaka Is Smart Splash for Cubs, White Sox Rebuilds

January 8, 2014 by · Leave a Comment 

The new year has begun, and Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka has yet to officially be posted by the Rakuten Golden Eagles. It's all but inevitable that he'll make his way to the MLB this coming season, though, and teams are already lining up for a chance to offer up the $20 million posting fee and have a chance to negotiate with what most consider to be the best arm on the market.
