CHICAGO – Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer spent much of his morning on Friday going through exit meetings with players at Wrigley Field. There were also conversations with coaches and staff, and parting words as those not based in Chicago prepared for travels home. This is not what

Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs has been selected Baseball Digest’s 2026 MLB Player of the Year. Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers has been named MLB Pitcher of the Year while the San Diego Padres’ Mason Miller has been voted MLB Relief Pitcher of the Year. Crow-Armstrong received 21

CHICAGO – Ian Happ kept his small tradition going during the Cubs’ final home game of the regular season. As he has done in past years, the Cubs’ long-time outfielder wrapped a baseball in cash and threw it to the fans in Wrigley Field’s left-field bleachers. The first round of

SAN DIEGO -- This was not how this Cubs’ season was supposed to end. This script offered the ballclub the same path through October as a year ago, giving the North Siders a shot at redemption after last fall’s postseason exit against the rival Brewers. This was the 10th anniversary

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres made sure this year was different. The 2025 iteration of this National League Wild Card Series in Chicago left a sour taste in San Diego’s mouth, and rightfully so. An already struggling lineup flatlined. There were virtually no big moments. They didn’t have a raucous

Tune into the Arizona Fall League and the Dominican Winter League (LIDOM) to watch some of baseball's brightest young stars. You can see MLB's top prospects in action, with AFL matchups streaming for free on both MLB.com (here and on the AFL site) and MLB.TV.

This page will be updated throughout the offseason to reflect the team’s latest transactions and any injury updates. As a reminder, players can remain on the 60-day IL through the World Series, after which teams must account for those players on their 40-man roster.

The Minor League playoffs have been completed. There are only a handful of players with prospect eligibility remaining left in the Major League postseason, and there will be fewer with each passing round. Time for us in prospectdom to go into offseason mode? Not so fast, friends. The Arizona Fall

Action in the Arizona Fall League kicked off over the weekend with a full slate of games, with big names already turning heads. While a lot of attention is understandably given to the high-profile prospects -- the late additions of Sebastian Walcott, Aidan Miller and Angeibel Gomez created some fun

SAN DIEGO -- All the information that Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd consumed and studied leading up to Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series pointed to a probable outcome with Fernando Tatis Jr. leading off for the Padres. Tatis was going to swing. Boyd kept that in mind

SAN DIEGO -- When the Cubs revealed their roster for the National League Wild Card Series on Tuesday morning, there were no big surprises. The entire five-man rotation made the list among the dozen arms included, and the position group featured the same players from September.

There’s more than one way to build a winning baseball club. You can rely almost exclusively on homegrown talent, like the Guardians are doing this year with 16 players on their projected postseason roster coming from the Draft or international signing processes. You can be active traders like the Rays

There’s no shortage of praise that can be heaped upon Pete Crow-Armstrong's stunning season. He became one of the very few players in baseball history to post a 40/40 year, broke Statcast-era defensive records, challenged the all-time Cubs single-season records for Wins Above Replacement (WAR) and – we assume –

The 2026 Minor League season was one for the record books … literally. Across the Minors, dozens of exclusive statistical clubs were infiltrated by this year's crop of young stars. The Brewers' Andrew Fischer mashed 48 regular-season homers, the most in MiLB since 1982, (and two in the postseason). A

It's a rematch -- the Cubs vs. the Padres in the National League Wild Card Series for a second straight year.

The MLB postseason is a land of opportunity. Each of the 12 remaining teams' records have now reverted to 0-0, and any club could get hot at the right time and ride the wave to a World Series. The Dodgers won their second consecutive title in 2025, the first franchise

At last, we have playoff baseball. (It has been 335 days, exactly 11 months, since our last MLB postseason game. That’s too many days!) In a month or so, we will know the 2026 World Series champion, but we have a whole bunch of games to go before then. And

ST. PETERSBURG – Even without any postseason implications on the line on Sunday, Alex Bregman told Cubs manager Craig Counsell that he wanted to be in the starting lineup. The third baseman felt it was important for him to get more at-bats ahead of the playoffs. “Alex really wants to

CHICAGO -- The Cubs felt they left some unfinished business on the table last October, when a return to the postseason ended with a gut punch of a loss to the rival Brewers in the National League Division Series. Getting back into the playoffs this year was not merely a

ST. PETERSBURG – Cubs manager Craig Counsell likes to have as much information in hand as possible before announcing any plans for his pitching staff. That is true throughout the regular season, and it is especially the case when the stakes are raised in the playoffs. So on Sunday, as

Major League Baseball on Monday launched the ballot for the official All-MLB Team, which recognizes and commemorates the top performances by players during the 2026 regular season. The selections for the All-MLB Team, which was established in 2019, will be announced on Nov. 11 during the fourth annual MLB Awards

And then there were 12. Two spots were clinched on the final day of the season, and however difficult it may have been for the Phillies and Astros to get in, and however much their fans may have had to sweat the last day, all that is behind them now:
