Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson believes he can be better in 2026 following a down 2025 season from an offensive standpoint.

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner has admitted to admiring incoming Cub Alex Bregman throughout his development as a player. Questions abound, however, whether he’ll actually get a chance to play with Chicago’s new third baseman.

Chicago Cubs‘ Pete Crow-Armstrong didn’t hide his strong support for Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. The Bears are in the divisional round of the playoffs and will face the Los Angeles Rams, and Crow-Armstrong intends to be there to support the team and the city.

Hottovy got extra insight into that strong season — Cabrera posted a 3.53 ERA while making a career-high 26 starts and trimming his walk rate to a career-best 8.3% — through former Cubs assistant pitching coach Daniel Moskos, now the Marlins’ pitching coach.

After 13 seasons in Major League Baseball, two-time All-Star and 2022 World Series Champion with the Houston Astros, reliever Ryan Pressly announced his retirement from the game, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The Houston Astros have seemingly had the biggest offer out there for Alex Bregman all offseason, and as he and agent Scott Boras continue to draw out this free agency, the team seems just fine moving on.
