But it took some juggling for Epstein and his staff to address several significant needs for the Cubs. The Cubs cleared $38 million in trading Castro to the Yankees for Warren, 28, who could help the pitching staff in a variety of roles and isn’t eligible for free agency until after the 2018 season, and a player to be named. In moving the contract of Castro, 25, a three-time National League All-Star shortstop who moved to second base and excelled in the final month of the 2015 season, the Cubs cleared enough money to sign Zobrist, a highly-sought free agent, to a four-year, $56 million contract. The versatile Zobrist fills many needs and allows them some financial freedom to plug other less significant holes. “That’s something, in our situation, that made a lot of sense for us,” Epstein said in addressing the moves. Zobrist, 34, who spent his first nine seasons with Cubs manager Joe Maddon with the Rays, has a lifetime .355 on- base percentage. Since 2009, Zobrist ranks fourth in the majors with 566 walks and fifth with 247 doubles. That should help a Cubs offense that had a .321 on-base percentage and led the league with 1,518 strikeouts. With the expected loss of free agent Dexter Fowler, Zobrist could fill in as the Cubs’ leadoff hitter, Epstein said. Zobrist has scored at least 74 runs in each of his last seven seasons. The switch-hitting Zobrist also provides balance to the Cubs’ lineup, which showed vulnerability against the Mets’ hard-throwing right-handed pitchers in the National League Championship Series. “He’s exactly the type of hitter we’re looking for,” Epstein said. Zobrist played second base in 69 of his 126 games for the Athletics and Royals last season and will spend the majority of his time there, Epstein said. Over his career, he has played much outfield. Javier Baez will continue to play various positions, but now the Cubs have the depth and financial resources to acquire another pitcher or a solid defensive center fielder. The Cubs expressed their interest in Zobrist early in the free-agent period but asked him to remain patient so they could clear money and address other needs. That included moving Castro, who lost his shortstop job to rookie Addison Russell on Aug. 7 but resurrected his career with a move to second base and an NL-high .369 batting average in September and October. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he tried to acquire Castro at the July 31 trading deadline with the intention of moving him to second but that the Cubs weren’t interested. Discussions resurfaced a few days ago, and the Cubs found a fit with Warren, who was 7-7 with a 3.29 ERA in 43 appearances (17 starts). “We’re excited on our end,” Cashman said. “We think (Castro) is a guy who is an above-average defender at second base, has a quality stick, is 25 and can play short and third and gives us a lot of athleticism for his age and hopefully performance.” The trade of Castro removes one of the final links of the pre-Epstein era that started before the 2012 season. Castro received a seven-year, $60 million contract in 2013 but was inconsistent at the plate and in the field. “It’s certainly bittersweet with sadness that we see him go,” Epstein said after talking with Castro, who currently is working out near the Yankees’ spring training facility in Tampa. Warren, like Trevor Cahill, Travis Wood and Clayton Richard, will be stretched out as a starter in spring training but could be used initially as a reliever. Warren could end up in the rotation in the future with John Lackey’s contract expiring and Jake Arrieta eligible for free agency after 2017. Warren, who features a 95 mph fastball with an “excellent change-up,” according to Epstein, was 6-6 with a 3.66 ERA in 17 starts and had a 2.29 ERA in 26 relief appearances. “It was tough to lose him, but you have to give to get,” Cashman said. The player to be named is expected to be infielder Brendan Ryan, according to a source. -- Chicago Tribune Javier Baez remains in Cubs' mix By Mark Gonzales One of the more remarkable achievements of the Chicago Cubs' off-season is that they've been able to make moves without surrendering any of their major prospects. That includes 23-year-old Javier Baez, who may not get a true shot at starting on a daily basis in 2016 unless he's traded. Nevertheless, Baez remains a Cub as newly acquired Ben Zobrist, 34, is expected to start at second base most of the time. There could be playing time for Baez at second on days in which Zobrist starts at other positions, such as left field in place of Kyle Schwarber if the Cubs are facing a tough left-handed pitcher. "And then going forward, long-term, this will give more opportunity for Javier Baez as well with Zobrist’s flexibility and ability to play all over the field," President Theo Epstein said Tuesday night.

    Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test

    The “Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test One of the many beauties of baseball, affectionately known as “America’s pastime,” is the ability for people to come to the stadium and become ingrained in the action and get the chance to interact with their heroes. Going to a baseball game, as opposed to going to most other sporting events, truly gives a fan the opportunity to take part in the action. However, this can come at a steep price as foul balls enter the stands at alarming speeds and occasionally strike spectators. According to a recent study, approximately 1,750 people get hurt each year by batted 1 balls at Major League Baseball (MLB) games, which adds up to twice every three games. The 2015 MLB season featured many serious incidents that shed light on the issue of 2 spectator protection. ​ This has led to heated debates among the media, fans, and even players and 3 managers as to what should be done to combat this issue. ​ Currently, there is a pending class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball (“MLB”).

    Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series

    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

    New York Yankees Shortstop Gleyber Torres Wins AFL MVP

    New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres wins AFL MVP Author : Robert D. Cobb New York Yankees' top prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, has won the Arizona Fall League MVP award. Torres, who was the headliner in the package from the Cubs that sent Aroldis Chapman to Chicago, is just 19-years-old. He is the youngest player to win the Joe Black MVP Award, in fact, no one under the age of 21 has ever put together a better season in the 32 game league. [embedit snippet="ryne-ads"] The Arizona Fall League is an off-season, 32 game league that plays from mid-October to mid-November. It was founded in 1992 and has attracted many of the top prospects in minor league systems all around the league. Torres, along with fellow Yankee prospects Greg Bird, Miguel Andujar, Dillon Tate, J.P. Feyereisen, Tyler Wade, Brody Koerner and James Kaprielian, played for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Torres led the AFL in average at .403, OBP at .513, and OPS at 1.158. He also earned the batting title, by an astounding 50 points over the next closest player. He added 25 hits, three homers, four doubles, 14 walks, and four stolen bases in 18 games, putting all of his tools on display. His performance earned him two AFL Player of the Week awards en route to being named MVP. He wasn't only the league's best hitter, but he also provided a flair for the dramatic. On October 15th he delivered a walk-off hit with the bases loaded for the Scorpions, joining teammate Tim Tebow with the only walk-off hits of the year.

    Arrieta’s second-half decline bites Cubs at just the wrong time in Game 3 By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 18, 2016 The location problems that afflicted Jake Arrieta in the second half came back to bite the Cubs hard Tuesday in a 6-0 de- feat, their second consecutive shutout loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodg- ers back-to-back post-season shutouts was the first in their storied franchise his- tory.

And they’re forced to do it in two more games at Dodger Stadium, never a comfortable place for the Cubs since it opened in 1962. Their best hope to restore equilibrium is rattling 20-year-old rookie starter Julio Urias in Game 4 Wednesday with the Cubs hurling the veteran John Lackey, with his big- game playoff winner resume and 38th birthday looming this coming Sunday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s tinkering with the slumping lineup, which began with Game 3, might continue as the situation approaches criticality. Eighteen straight scoreless in- nings tossed at the previously prodigious lineup will conjure up nightmares of past postseason pratfalls with the Cubs hitting only .190 versus breaking balls so far this year.
