#Cubs, #MLB, and #MiLB news, notes, and commentary, four days a week, rain or shine. Brennen Davis says goodbye, extend Steele, and more. I think the pilot light on the hot stove went out.
WELCOME to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor. No artificial intelligences were deployed, employed, entranced, or embalmed in the commission of this missive (apparently I might be training some though). Cub Tracks eagerly awaits the advent of robotic umpires and has already amended the three laws. The going is weird. Cub Tracks turned pro a long time ago.
Cub Tracks. Where the great ones run away.

C’mon guys! Who’s gonna be dubbed “I-90”?

- Evan Altman (Cubs Insider*): Understanding motor preference could help Cubs, other orgs improve player development. “… we’re talking about understanding nuances in how a person’s body naturally wants to move.”
- Michael Cerami (Bleacher Nation*): How much better does the Cubs’ 2025 catching tandem project over last season? “… a gigantic RELATIVE improvement behind the plate.”
- Jake Misener (Cubbies Crib*): Former beloved Cubs superstar has his eyes set on redemption this season. “It’s been nothing but frustration and disappointment since Kris Bryant left for Colorado.”
