OSS: Where’s this Jameson Taillon guy been all season? Three up: Three down: Next up: Drew Smyly takes on Gerrit Cole at 12:05 CT, in what might be a slightly tougher matchup for this Cubs offense.
Early-ish Preview of the 2023 Cubs Schedule
The 2023 Cubs schedule was released last August in the time before RC on OV, but the reveal was pretty cool in the time before Musk Melon destroyed Twitter (with a little help from its citizens, of course): I don’t think we can resurrect the Hope Monster just yet because the division is probably not a realistic goal this season, …
Projecting the 2016 Cubs: Outfield
As was done in days of yore, dm and I are rolling out projection posts going into the season. We're not doing anything too complicated – just doing some simple averaging of the systems out there with some tweaks of our own if we see them. There will be inherent flaws in this – each system presumably makes different less …

2016 Steamer Projections: 100 Wins?
Well. That sure was fun. Although the Theo & Jed may not be done swinging deals yet (rumors include trading for a cost controlled, young starter and/or a CF), we can take a look at how the New-Look-Cubs project for next season with the additions of Jason Heyward, John Lackey, Ben Zobrist, and Adam Warren. First, a fun look at …
Are the Cubs the favorites to sign David Price?
Common sense would indicate the Cubs would have significant interest in David Price this offseason. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball and he's a free agent. He won't cost the Cubs a draft pick since he was traded at midseason. He had a long working relationship with Cubs manager Joe Maddon. And the Cubs could really use another …
Should the Cubs re-sign Dexter Fowler?
The Cubs 2015 season is over. It was a great season. In order for this team to contend, they needed to get significant production from some of what they are hoping will be future stars. They did. They not only contended, they won 97 games. They finished with the 3rd best record in all of baseball (no team in any …
