The Cubs will be unloading big contracts after the 2011 season. Fukudome, Ramirez, Silva, and possibly Carlos Peno's salaries will be coming off the payroll.

Yes, it probably was but there still is a lot of upside to this deal that should be considered.Carlos Pena saw his batting average drop off to .196, and his home runs to decline to 28 in 2010. Pena strikes out a lot and this is very unlikely to change,

The passing of Ron Santo is a heartbreaking loss to Cub fans all over the world. Ronnie brought an enthusiasm and passion for the game that will be sorely missed.I can't remember how many times that I have turned down the volume to the WGN broadcast and turned up the radio to listen to Pat and Ron bring the game into my living room. It wasn't Ron's analytical broadcast skills that won my heart

Well, the Chicago Cubs have signed Marlon Byrd and he should fill one of their voids adequately, but other than Byrd signing the Cubs have been relatively silent during the off season. Pitchers and cathers report to camp in a few weeks but main stories in Chicago have been "where are the Cubs going to play their spring training games", and "is Andre Dawson going to wear a Cubs hat" when he is

So far the Cubs off season has been quite uneventful. Jim Hendry did manage to move Milton Bradley for Seattle Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva. Carlos Silva has a good arm, but he has had two consecutive sub par years in Seattle. It appears that the Cubs are now interested in a Center fielder, and Marlon Byrd has been the name that keeps surfacing throughout the rumor mill.

The Chicago Cubs once again imploded in the first round of the playoffs getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a very disappointing fashion. The Cubs appear bitten by the pressure that the media puts on them by constantly asking them about the "curse".Obviously there is no such thing as a curse that wants to doom the Cubs, but there is such a thing of mental curse.

After sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee and giving the Cubs some much needed breathing room in the National League Central, the Chicago Cubs returned to Wrigley Field with the hopes of avoiding a let down. During the past week the Cubs have won 4 of 6 games at home and managed to avoid losing their 5 game lead over Brewers and Cardinals.Alfonso Soriano has been a huge reason for the Cubs post

Coming into this important divisional series against the Milwaukee Brewers, the media didn't seem to give the Cubs much of a chance. The Cubs had been reeling during the second half of the season, while the Brewers have gotten red hot and erased a 6 game deficit in the standings. Ted Lilly and Carlos Zambrano matched CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets pitch for pitch, leading the Cubs to victories in

Can Alphonso Soriano give the Cubs some much needed pop to their lineup during their offensive struggles? Lou Piniella, and the Cubs surely hope so. The Brewers have crept within 1 game of the Cubs, while the Cardinals are lurking right behind (only trailing by two games).Returning from a broken bone in Soriano's hand, it is hard to believe that he will come out of the gates hitting home runs
