The Cubs Have Most of the Pieces of a Good 2027 Bullpen On Hand #cubs #chicago

With his monster 2026 season, Hartshorn's ETA to the bigs has accelerated. #cubs #chicago

There's so much the Cubs have to accomplish this offseason that it's tempting to think they're starting from scratch, outside their key, high-dollar position players. They do have the bones of a better bullpen on the roster, though. #cubs #chicago

ICYMI: Despite being diminutive in stature, Kane Kepley packed a punch in the Cubs system in 2026. The second-year pro out of North Carolina established himself as a speed and defense threat with some of the best contact in the minor leagues. #cubs #chicago

Matt Shaw, Pedro Ramírez and the Cubs' Shaky 2027 Outfield Plans #cubs #chicago

The Cubs will have to fill at least one of their corner outfield spots from within next season. They have two young, controllable players with prospect pedigree in position to take the job, but it's not clear that either can handle it. #cubs #chicago

The Cubs are done, and the White Sox are still alive. Here is why Cubs fans should embrace what is happening on the South Side of Chicago. #cubs #chicago

Pedro Ramírez wasn't always consistent, but his first major-league campaign with the Cubs offered plenty of reasons to believe in his long-term outlook. #cubs #chicago

Kepley is a bit of a throwback, focusing on speed, defense, and contact. #cubs #chicago

ICYMI: Miguel Useche has a remarkable story. The 25-year-old backstop started last year in the Frontier League. Now, 13 homers, 51 RBI, and an 11.0% walk rate later, Useche not only helped the South Bend Cubs (High-A) to a playoff berth, he earned a Double-A promotion and hit .300… #cubs #chicago

Baseball's looming labor dispute could threaten the 2027 season, but a little-discussed provision involving MLB's television contracts may give owners a powerful incentive to reach an agreement. #cubs #chicago

Next Year, Expect Fewer Calls to Go Pete Crow-Armstrong's Way—Or At Least More to Be Overturned #cubs #chicago

Few batters benefitted more from the implementation of ABS in 2026 than the man who enjoyed the biggest offensive breakout in the league. Next year, though, Pete Crow-Armstrong will get a slap in the face from regression, via robot. #cubs #chicago

A 154-game regular season, seven-game Division Series and a new system allowing teams to select playoff opponents are among the proposed changes tied to a salary cap agreement. #cubs #chicago

The Cubs won't have to fork over big money for their fistful of arbitration-eligible players this offseason. That's the good news. The bad news is, they'd really love to have to pay some of them more. #cubs #chicago

A 34-page memo outlining how teams should operate during a work stoppage makes the December 1 CBA deadline feel increasingly important for the entire sport. #cubs #chicago

Useche is one of those baseball stories you can't get enough of. #cubs #chicago
