It's no secret that the Chicago Cubs have been in a rebuild for the past couple of seasons, and the effort has resulted in several top prospects working their way through the organization. Some top prospects are still at least a year away from playing at Wrigley Field, while others could be making their way to the Friendly Confines within the calendar year.
Unlike in years past, the Cubs have more than one "can't-miss" prospect, and in fact, they nearly have a "can't-miss" prospect at every position. While some prospects are bound to fail and some to succeed, here's the list ...
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.
The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners are currently viewed as the favorites to sign Tanaka, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America. They are far from the only teams in ...
As was first reported this morning by Al Yellon of Bleed Cubbie Blue, former Cub Greg Maddux will not be voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously because of his omission on at least one ballot. However, the writer's explanation for why he left Maddux off the ballot is ridiculous.
Dodgers beat reporter Ken Gurnick says that he will only vote for Jack Morris for the Hall of Fame. His explanation? He won't vote for anyone that played during the Steroid Era.
The 6' 0", 170-lb Maddux is being cost the first unanimous Hall of Fame induction because of the missteps of ...
The Chicago Cubs' collection of top prospects is among the best in baseball, with four players who will rank in next week’s top 50 prospects update and a few more who would land in the top 100.
Leading the pack is shortstop Javier Baez, who is arguably the most exciting offensive prospect in the game. Last season, the now-21-year-old posted a .920 OPS with 37 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 537 plate appearances between High-A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee.
Alongside Baez on the Cubs’ future infield is third baseman Kris Bryant, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2013, who ...
With the results of the final Baseball Hall of Fame voting just a week away, there is a very interesting story developing. Several players headline a star-studded cast of candidates, and at the forefront is former Cub pitcher Greg Maddux.
More impressive than Maddux being a likely first-ballot Hall of Famer is the fact that the right-hander has the chance to be the first player in major league history to be a unanimous vote-getter.
Nobody, not even the likes of Babe Ruth, Willie Mays or Hank Aaron were voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously. That fact may point to Maddux not ...
