Chicago Cubs
BALTIMORE – Jon Lester decided to sign with a last-place Cubs team during the 2014 winter meetings, taking a leap of faith while still expecting to be in the pennant race every season on that six-year, $155 million megadeal. As much as anyone in the clubhouse, Lester understands how team president Theo Epstein operates and what a huge hole there will be in the rotation if/when Jake Arrieta and John Lackey leave as free agents after this season. That’s why “until 2020” jumped out at Lester after the initial shock from the blockbuster Jose Quintana trade with the White Sox wore off quickly. “I know Theo,” Lester said before watching Arrieta shut down his old team during Saturday’s 10-3 win at Oriole Continue to Article

Chicago Cubs
New York Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been struggling this year, and manager Joe Girardi has a theory as to why it's happening. "That's sometimes the cost of going a long way and deep into the playoffs, the extra wear and tear," Girardi says, according to Brendan Kuty of NJ.com. "Personally, I don't agree with the way [Joe Maddon] used me, but he is the manager, and he has the strategy," Chapman said through an interpreter in December, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPN.

Baltimore Orioles
BALTIMORE — It might have been the red wine talking when reporters spotted him in a San Diego hotel, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon called it winning the baseball lottery when Jon Lester decided to sign with a last-place team during the 2014 winter meetings. Just as that $155 million megadeal symbolized a franchise on the rise, this Jose Quintana trade with the White Sox becomes a shot of adrenaline for the defending World Series champs. “It’s definitely an injection,” Maddon said before Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. “There’s definitely energy involved. It’s more believable with him around here right now. “You can’t do this without pitching. You cannot win for consecutive games for Continue to Article

Chicago Cubs
(CBS) – Chicago White Sox management urged players to begin moving on Friday, follwing the trade of the team’s best pitcher and valued friend. The loss of ace Jose Quintana in the trade with the Chicago Cubs, which brought four minor leaguers to the South Side, had certainly numbed the group. Manager Rickey Renteria, in a post All-Star Game team meeting, asked the team for understanding and the continued professionalism they had shown in the first 87 games of the season. Easier said than done. The harsh reality kicked in that the team was losing their best pitcher for players of the future. As media types asked for a reaction, a few of the players who are usually willing to converse hit the field Continue to Article

Chicago Cubs
BALTIMORE – It’s the middle of July and the Cubs still don’t really know what type of team they have. Sure, their fans streamed into the Inner Harbor, Baltimore’s downtown hotels and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Most of their players own World Series rings. But trading for Jose Quintana became more about 2018, 2019 and 2020 than the rest of this summer. What’s next? Who knows? Cubs president Theo Epstein sat behind home plate during Friday’s 9-8 rollercoaster win over the Orioles, the beginning of a post-All-Star break evaluation period that will determine just how aggressive (or not) the front office and ownership will be leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. “We have to play better,” first Continue to Article
