The Chicago Cubs made a little noise last week with the two-year, $7.5 million deal for John Grabow and send Aaron Heilman to Arizona for a pair of prospects. Then Friday afternoon, the Cubs added five players to their major league roster ... three expected and two, well a little surprising. John Gaub , Welington Castillo and Blake Parker along with Rafael Dolis and James Adduci were protected from...

Chicago Cubs hitting coach might be able to help him against left-handers Many in the Cubs' front office think they would be foolish to give up Starlin Castro to get Curtis Granderson , but there are a lot of other ways to do the deal. General manager Jim Hendry appreciates all Granderson brings to the table, even though he has had trouble hitting left-handers in two of the last three seasons. Perhaps...

Browse more photos » With all apologies due to BCB reader brian custer, a close friend of Aaron Heilman , he'll have to head to Phoenix to see his buddy pitch in 2010 -- the Cubs sent Heilman to the Diamondbacks today for two minor leaguers.

Filed:November 18th, 2009 Mark DeRosa (Cubbie Nation/file) You ever found yourself reading a well-written piece, and feeling like it all sounds logical and sensible, then think about it a little more, and wonder if the writer if off his meds? I had a moment like this when I read a recent piece by Foxsports writer Dayn Perry, who proposes in the column a number of moves that teams need to make this...

The Chicago Tribune 's Phil Rogers heard from a source close to the Cubs that said general manager Jim Hendry is "absolutely" interested a package full of prospects to the Tigers for Curtis Granderson . (And really, if he wasn't, would Hendry be doing his job?) The key word in Rogers' second paragraph, however, is "if." If Dave Dombrowski is willing to trade Granderson, Hendry wants...

Cubs' GM Jim Hendry, who single-handedly ruined last season and turned a two-time defending division champion into an also-ran, may be about to ruin the next ten or twelve seasons at a single swoop. Hendry is reported to be aggressively pursuing Detroit center fielder Curtis Granderson. Fair enough. But talk is that he'll be offering a "prospect-heavy" deal- and if it includes either shortstop...

Take a moment and think about it, the 2009 season ended just eight days ago. Baseball's off-season is in full swing and the winter is shaping up to be very interesting throughout the game ... and especially on the North Side of Chicago. The GM meetings concluded on Wednesday with Milton Bradley still a Cub and a lot of rumors to digest. While it would have been nice to see Jim Hendry scratch his top...

CHICAGO – Tom Ricketts and his family took ownership of the Chicago Cubs and wasted no time making a promise to the team's long-suffering fans: They will bring a World Series title to a team that has gone 101 years without one.
