Top Cubs News

  • Cubs' Gabe Klobosits: Signs MiLB deal with Cubs

    The Cubs signed Klobosits to a minor-league contract Monday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

    Klobosits' lone major-league experience came in 2021 with the Nationals, when he allowed eight runs (seven earned) with a 5:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings. The 30-year-old has spent the last two-and-a-half seasons in independent ball and has touched 98 mph with his fastball while throwing this offseason, per Alexander. Klobosits is likely ticketed for the Triple-A Iowa bullpen to begin the 2026 season.

  • Cubs' Justin Steele: Resumes mound work

    Steele (elbow) threw off a mound Jan. 16 for the first time since undergoing UCL revision surgery April 18, MLB.com reports.

    Throwing off a mound represents an important milestone in the recovery process for Steele, who had been limited to playing catch off flat ground since resuming a throwing program in October. He'll likely continue to build up the intensity and frequency of his bullpen sessions over the next few weeks, but Steele probably won't be ready to face hitters until the latter half of spring training. The 30-year-old lefty will almost certainly open the season on the injured list, but if he steers clear of any setbacks while building up this spring, he could avoid placement on the 60-day IL and make his 2026 debut at some point in late April or May.

  • Cubs' Dylan Carlson: Nets NRI from Cubs

    The Cubs signed Carlson to a minor-league contract Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Greg Zumach of The Baseball Tribune reports.

    Carlson slashed only .203/.278/.336 across 241 plate appearances for the Orioles in 2025. He's still just 27, but the former top prospect has had little success at the major-league level since a nice rookie season back in 2021. Carlson will likely begin the 2026 campaign as outfield depth at Triple-A Iowa.

  • Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Greater opportunity awaits

    Ballesteros has a clearer path to the Cubs' starting DH job as a result of the trade that sent Owen Caissie to the Marlins for Edward Cabrera, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

    Ballesteros acquitted himself quite well in 66 major-league plate appearances during the 2025 regular season, slashing .298/.394/.474 with two homers. His 13.6 BB rate and 18.2 K rate were particularly encouraging for a player making his debut as a 21-year-old. Ballesteros might get pushed into the strong-side of a platoon with Matt Shaw, who lost his starting third base job when the Cubs signed Alex Bregman.

  • Cubs' Chas McCormick: Snags NRI deal from Cubs

    McCormick signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    McCormick has registered a .574 OPS in 383 plate appearances over the last two seasons -- a stark decline from the .786 OPS he logged across his first three years in MLB. The Cubs will take a flier on him with hopes that the 30-year-old outfielder returns to his previous form, though he will likely first have to redeem himself at Triple-A Iowa.

  • Cubs' Trent Thornton: Inks deal with Cubs

    The Cubs signed Thornton (Achilles) to a contract Monday, Tread Athletics reports.

    It's not clear whether it's a major- or minor-league contract, but Thornton has landed a deal after throwing for teams in a "Pro Day" at Tread Athletics training facility. Thornton had surgery in August to repair a torn left Achilles tendon but has a chance to be ready in time for Opening Day. The right-handed reliever posted a 4.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB over 42.1 innings for the Mariners in 2025 before getting hurt.

  • Cubs' Yacksel Rios: Latches on with Cubs

    Rios signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Rios spent the 2025 season in the Mets organization but made just two appearances at Triple-A Syracuse while spending most of the year recovering from an undisclosed injury. Now fully healthy, the 32-year-old reliever will add depth to the bullpen at Triple-A Iowa and is unlikely to make a significant contribution to the big club during 2026.

  • Cubs' Ben Cowles: Heading back to Cubs

    The Cubs claimed Cowles off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.

    Cowles went from the Cubs to the White Sox via waivers in September, and he's now headed back in the other direction. The infielder slashed only .235/.300/.371 with nine homers and 18 steals at the Triple-A level in 2025. Slated to turn 26 in February, Cowles is likely ticketed for Triple-A Iowa to start off the 2026 season.

  • Cubs' Matt Shaw: Could be tried in outfield

    Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Thursday that Shaw could be used some in the outfield this season, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

    If the Cubs hang on to Nico Hoerner rather than trade him following the signing of Alex Bregman, Shaw's best shot at regular playing time would be in a super utility role. All 114 starts for Shaw with the Cubs in 2025 came at third base, but the 24-year-old also has significant experience at second base and shortstop, and he played the outfield some in college and in summer ball. It's also possible the Cubs use Shaw as a trade chip in order to supplement their roster elsewhere.
