Offseason surgery has Kevin Alcántara fully healthy as he battles for a spot on the Chicago Cubs’ opening day roster as a backup outfielder.

The Chicago Cubs are watching closely as Kevin Alcántara works to turn offseason adjustments into the consistency that could lock down an outfield spot.

A revamped bullpen, key trades, and a blockbuster signing propel the Cubs to third in National League improvement.

With all of his success so far, the 35-year-old lefty said he's excited for what's to come in year two for both himself and the team.

The Chicago Cubs will begin selling single-game tickets this week, and in celebration the team will be giving away tickets in a unique way.

Jaxon Wiggins’ first live batting practice of spring training provided a great challenge for the Chicago Cubs’ top pitching prospect. On a backfield at the Cubs’ complex Friday, the 24-year-old right-hander faced off against first baseman Michael Busch and center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.

Spring training opened for all 30 MLB teams this week with the annual pitchers and catchers reporting dates coming and going. Most of the free agents are settled in either new homes or back with their same team.

Of all the free-agent moves during the offseason, the Boston Red Sox not being able to bring back Alex Bregman is the one that people within MLB believe will be the most difficult to overcome.

The Cubs are hoping to prove they belong with the NL elite and the team has issues that must be examined in spring training
