Entering the offseason with needs all over the roster and knowing they have several promising but not...1252Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:36:00 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/chicago-cubs/ranking-the-likelihood-of-all-12-qualifying-offer-free-agents-signing-with-cubs-r1251/No, they're not all tied for last place. Early this offseason, there are nothing but pessimistic sounds coming out of Cubs media, in terms of how much they might spend in free agency to make material progress and leave behind the unhappy medium space in which they've lived for the last two-p...1251Wed, 20 Nov 2024 16:56:21 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/chicago-cubs/what-exactly-does-tyler-zombro-bring-to-the-cubs-pitching-support-staff-r1247/Good teams stop at nothing, trying to find and create advantages over the competition. The Cubs have not been a good team, but they want to be one! With that in mind, they're reportedly set to hire a special assistant they hope will be a boon to their pitching development.

In order to be protected, an otherwise eligible player has to be placed on the 40-man roster. The Cubs began the day with that roster full, which means in order to add players, changes had to be made.

With an impressive resume that includes being a 10+ year adult-baseball-league veteran and someone who's won countless video game World Series (spanning back to the mid-90s), bringing me in was a pretty no-brain-...1229Tue, 19 Nov 2024 15:10:00 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/chicago-cubs/chicago-cubs-free-agent-target-tracker-max-fried-r1249/The ace lefty is coming off another great season in which he proved he was healthy once again.

Another could be a manager, like, tomorrow. If there’s a guarantee this winter for the Chicago Cubs, it's this: they will make an addition behind the plate. Look no further than the current projected depth charts at...1248Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:09:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/chicago-cubs/cubs-arizona-fall-league-prospect-wrap-up-r1245/Several Cubs prospects finished a month-long autumn showcase last week in Arizona.

That roster is already full, though, and the team has to make some external additions this winter, too. The team needs to create some space. Who ought to go?

His inclusion, especially on the defensive side, would help many major league teams. So why would the Cubs entertain the thought of trading him? And what could the Cubs expect to get back?
