Jed Hoyer points to these 3 players as big wins for the Cubs' acquisition team/pro scouting department this season:
The Cubs are without Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga right now. But it's their other lefty - the one flying under the radar - who has stepped up to stabilize this starting rotation.
On what Matthew Boyd has brought to the Cubs:
"There are few things in our sport more fun to watch than a guy that’s a top-of-the-scale athlete play baseball."
Jed Hoyer joined the @watchmarquee.bsky.social broadcast and weighed in on the star power of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker:
PCA is currently up to 2.8 fWAR -- first in the NL and second in MLB to Aaron Judge: www.fangraphs.com/leaders/majo...
Pete Crow-Armstrong made history during his monster performance against the White Sox on a picture-perfect day at Wrigley Field.
"Every time he comes up to the plate, you know something awesome might happen."
Nicodamus?
Nico Hoerner daydreamed about a Cubs walk-off well before it actually happened -- and then scored the winning run on his 28th birthday.
The Cubs top prospect has a singular goal during his first taste of the major leagues.
"To stay here in 'The Show.'"
More on Ballesteros:
The Cubs need a starter for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Here's how they're approaching the situation:
Breathe a sigh of relief, Cubs Nation.
A positive update on Shota Imanaga:
The Cubs made a flurry of roster moves before Wednesday's game, including designating infielder Gage Workman for assignment and signing a pair of familiar names.
More fr. @andy-martinez.bsky.social:
How many wins will the Cubs end up with in 2025?
We make our predictions:
On the latest edition of the Cubs Weekly Podcast, @tonyandracki23.bsky.social, @lancebroz.bsky.social, Elise Menaker and I make some bold predictions.
An NL MVP? FIVE Gold Glovers? PCA MVP votes?
Super rare to see back-to-back walks from Shota Imanaga in the 2nd inning.
Imanaga had only 2 walks total in his first 4 starts in 2024.
On pace for 162!
It's a HUGE week for two of the Cubs' most important players:
@andy-martinez.bsky.social on what Tokyo Series means for Shota Imanaga and Seiya Suzuki
Moisés Ballesteros, Kevin Alcántara and other Cubs top prospects put on a show in Spring Breakout game:
"Nothing is off the table with Matt."
The latest on injured Cubs prospect Matt Shaw:
Sammy Sosa was doling out advice at Cubs camp yesterday.
One player took one of those tips into the game...and promptly homered.
More from @andy-martinez.bsky.social:
"I definitely think I have something to prove this spring and this year as a whole."

The Cubs are parting ways with Alexander Canario to create room on the roster for Justin Turner:
An update on the Cubs' second baseman from @tonyandracki23.bsky.social:
Here's some news Cubs fans definitely won't love this Valentine's Day:
Matt Shaw is dealing with an injury early in camp.
With Alex Bregman heading to Boston, the time is now for Matt Shaw in Chicago.
More from @andy-martinez.bsky.social:
Day 1 of Cubs camp brought about some breaking news.
Well, not really breaking.
Actually, it's not even remotely surprising.
Some quality free agents remain available (*cough* Alex Bregman *cough*) and while the Cubs didn't close the door on making more additions, they're also focusing on their current group:
“Unclear. I think you always look for opportunities.”
