A special thanks to sportswriter Paul Johnson and the Beacon News’ Mike Knapp for all their input, information, and companionship. I will miss you both next season.

That set in motion “outfielder roulette” as Jorge Soler moved up to Iowa, Albert Almora to Tennessee, Jacob Hannemann to Daytona, and Jeffrey Baez to Kane County. Meanwhile, RHP Kyle Hendricks and LHP Tsuyoshi … [Read more...]

Cubs Working on the Big League Roster, Focus on the Minors and Other News and Rumors

December 22, 2013 12:30 am By Neil 115 Comments

Weekend Update It could be a very busy 72 hours throughout the game leading up to Christmas, especially if the Rakuten Eagles finally make a decision, one way or the other, to post Masahiro Tanaka. Players prefer to know where they will be playing prior to the holidays and there are several free agents still unsigned for next season. The last high-dollar, long-contract, free-agent position player of the off-season came off the board on Saturday when Shin-Soo Choo agreed to a seven-year, $130 … [Read more...]

Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 06/24/13

June 24, 2013 12:15 am By Tom U. 27 Comments

It was reported that sportswriter Ring Lardner would sing “I’m forever blowing ballgames” to the “Black Sox” during the storied World Series. That seemed to be an appropriate tune with the way the week ended down on the farm as losing leads ran rampant through the organization. Boise was powered by Yasiel Balaguert and Kevin Encarnacion as they went 2-2 to close out the week. Kane County continued to have a hard time with Quad Cities as they began their second half of the season by losing … [Read more...]
