3 surprising players who could steal a Cubs' playoff roster spot during the Wild Card round (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Playoff baseball usually has a way of forcing a few unexpected twists, something the Chicago Cubs have experienced their fair share of during the regular season. While the Cubs' lineup and starting rotation are mostly set, the fringe spots of the roster could see the team add a few unexpected names into the fold. The team is looking to do anything it can to push past the National League Division Series so we could see some out-of-the-box thinking. Here are three candidates who could end up steal
3 extensions the Cubs should prioritize ahead of the MLB lockout (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Chicago Cubs are hoping to make a deep playoff run with their current group, which is the most expensive in team history. But no matter what happens in October, the team will have a slew of key roster spots to replace, with five starting rotation spots, two outfield positions, and multiple bullpen jobs to fill. The team will likely have over $100 million to play with, but the weak free-agent class and unpredictability of the looming collective bargaining agreement expiration makes this offse
Cubs may finally be seeing Ryan Zeferjahn isn't the trade deadline bust fans feared (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryan Zeferjahn might be on the cusp of figuring things out.

Just when Brown was on the verge of a rehab assignment, Brown's neck injury symptoms resurfaced, likely ending his chance of returning in 2026. The news puts even more pressure on the Cubs' bullpen, which is suddenly in a precarious situation with Jacob Webb blowing back-to-back saves recently. Although a starter for most of the first half, Brown's late-season return would have seen him return as a rel
Shelby Miller could be the bullpen addition the Cubs never made at the trade deadline (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Less than a year after undergoing elbow surgery, Chicago Cubs pitcher Shelby Miller is on the verge of returning to the majors. Nobody expected him to even have a chance to pitch during the 2026 season, which is why the Cubs inked him to a two-year deal last offseason. But the 35-year-old righty is suddenly way ahead of schedule and looking sharp in his minor league rehab assignments. Miller has made five rehab appearances heading into the weekend, one with Double-A Tennessee and four with the I
