It's another Wednesday evening at BCB After Dark: the swinging spot for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. It's the last show of the week and we're going out with a bang. We're so glad you could come and join us. It's cold out there but it's warm in here. There are still a few good tables available. There's a two-drink…

I write this piece every year, but I never could have predicted what happened in 2021. Usually, "bold predictions" come up short because they're too bold. For instance, last year I picked Austin Slater to hit more homers than in his previous four seasons combined (he came close, missing by two!) and Duane Kuiper projected double-digit homers for…

This offseason has the potential to go many different ways for the Cubs. There are a multitude of players at the top of the free agent market that would fit well on this Cubs roster.

I said yesterday I wanted to ladder them (betting -2.5,-3.5,-4.5, and so on), but I was too chicken to do so. Hopefully, you weren't! We took the Reds'…

With the 2022 MLB season only two days away, there's still speculation about who will make the Chicago Cubs Opening Day roster and how the lineup will look. How does it all shake out? Without an inside source, it's difficult to say, but I'm going to take a crack at it. This season, teams will start the year with 28-man rosters to help offset…
