If last year was any indication, it’s that the Chicago Cubs aren’t afraid to do the unpopular. Last year’s MLB trade deadline was a painful one for Cubs fans, as they watched the team deal 2016 World Series heroes Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant. This year, the Cubs are a similarly middling team, […]

The Colorado Rockies are a confusing team to figure out.

Anything short of the franchise’s 28th World Series title will be considered a failure for the New York Yankees in 2022.

The Chicago Cubs are fresh off of a 2021 campaign that saw them trade three of their biggest stars in franchise history.
