The Chicago Cubs turned in a 3-3 performance this past week, winning a series against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend. However, they still have the worst record in baseball (15-27), earning them the No. 30 spot in this week's MLB power rankings.
As we make our way through what will likely be another long year on the North Side, more and more attention will be paid to a farm system that was ranked No. 4 in all of baseball by Baseball America entering the season.
What follows is a look at the team's current top-10 prospects and how they performed at the minor ...
In the over century-long World Series drought the Cubs are currently experiencing, they've had their fair share of heartbreak. Sometimes they've been downright bad, but sometimes they've actually had reason to get excited. Such is the case for the Cubs right now as they are building up a solid hitting farm system with potential future stars like Javier Baez, Albert Almora, Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler.
However, the Cubs have been in this boat before, and it hasn't always panned out. The difference between now and the past in Chicago is that the Cubs have stockpiled multiple prospects at the same ...
After climbing a bit to No. 26 in last week's power rankings, the Chicago Cubs slide back down to the No. 29 spot following a 1-6 week that included a 1-3 showing in the Crosstown Classic.
As we make our way through what will likely be another long year on the North Side, more and more attention will be paid to a farm system that was ranked No. 4 in all of baseball by Baseball America entering the season.

While the Cubs are still rebuilding, they need to garner some more top prospects. It appears they are a couple of pitchers away from having a truly complete farm system, and that's why president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer still need to make plenty of moves at the trade deadline this season. Once again, the Cubs figure to be sellers; a team that will send off its current talent for more potential future talent.
Based on past trade rumblings and situations that have developed this season, there are quite a few trades the Cubs could try to work out ...
We’re a little more than a month into the season and it’s already clear the Chicago White Sox’s Jose Abreu is this year’s Cuban sensation.
In 2012 it was Yoenis Cespedes. Last year, it was Yasiel Puig. But once Abreu’s reign of rookie production comes to an end this fall, which Cuban player is the next in line to become a star in 2015?
The popular pick is 22-year-old Jorge Soler, who is currently on the seven-day disabled list for Double-A Tennessee, the Chicago Cubs’ affiliate in the Southern League. Signed to a nine-year contract in June, 2012, around the same time ...
A 3-2 week that included a series win against the rival St. Louis Cardinals was enough for the Chicago Cubs to climb three spots in this week's MLB power rankings to No. 26.
That at least gives them some momentum going into the Crosstown Classic against the Chicago White Sox this coming week.
As we make our way through what will likely be another long year on the North Side, more and more attention will be paid to a farm system that was ranked No. 4 in all of baseball by Baseball America entering the season.

The good news for the Chicago Cubs is that most of their top prospects have been true to form to start this season with very few hiccups in the first month. The bad news, which is normally inevitable in baseball, is that some have still gotten off to some disappointing starts. As an organization, the Cubs' top 20 prospects have performed well, but three out of their top 15 have been particularly disappointing thus far.
All prospects go through struggles at different times in their minor league careers, and the ones that shake those struggles off quickly are usually the ones ...
Chicago Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija is almost assuredly out the door. The only real question facing general manager Jed Hoyer is whether moving Samardzija now—or waiting until the non-waiver trade deadline—is in the Cubs’ best interest.
To be sure, it's not an easy decision to make. On one hand, Hoyer has been quite successful in recent seasons trading starting pitchers at the deadline for impact prospects. On the other hand, Samardzija's situation is a unique one.
All things considered, though, the time to move Samardzija is now—and there is more than one reason for that.
Center Stage and the MLBPA
Samardzija is standing by himself on the ...
As the Chicago Cubs celebrated the 100th birthday of Wrigley Field on Wednesday, Cubs fans around the country will rejoice in the fact that they have...well, something to rejoice.
Although the team hasn't won a World Series since they began playing at Wrigley Field in 1916, fans of the team are optimistic that a championship may very well be on its way to Chicago's North Side in the near future.
Unfortunately, that time is expected to be a few years away still. The team finds itself in last place in the National League Central, already 10 games behind the first-place Brewers only ...
The Chicago Cubs went 3-4 last week, splitting a four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks at home before dropping two of three contests to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. That earned them the No. 29 spot on this week's MLB power rankings.
As we make our way through what will likely be another long year on the North Side, more and more attention will be paid to a farm system that was ranked No. 4 in all of baseball by Baseball America entering the season.
