An agreed police summary of facts stated John and his partner of 10 years, with whom he has four children, were at their home address in early October 2018 and he was drunk.

Cubs free-agent target: Jason Castro Share this story Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images With the inclusion of Victor Caratini in the Yu Darvish trade to the Padres, the Cubs will have to acquire a backup catcher, since Jed Hoyer has said Miguel Amaya won’t start the season in the big leagues. Let’s first assume that the Cubs aren’t going to trade Willson Contreras. Jason Castro could be a useful backup to Contreras, and then perhaps serve as a mentor to Amaya in 2022 if Contreras ...

T’s an unenviable spot for Hoyer or any executive to have to talk around a trade of this nature, but Wednesday morning’s press conference still felt more disconnected than it needed to be.

Darvish’s Emotional Farewell, the Lack of a GM Search, Kim’s Deal, and Other Cubs Bullets There is not necessarily anything magical about today versus yesterday. We’re on the course we’re on with respect to the pandemic, and just one more day has passed. That said, I’m right there with everyone: I hope there comes a time when we can look back and see that 2021 was just the straight damn opposite of 2020. •   Yu Darvish spoke to the media about his trade to the Padres, and he got e...

Chicago Cubs President Jed Hoyer said today that the team would be looking in free agency for another catcher now that Victor Caratini is off to San Diego, and Patrick Mooney already has the name of one target.

It now seems that a Houston reunion is just one of several possibilities for the veteran backstop. It remains possible that Castro will sign on for a seventh season with the ’Stros, Robert Murray of Fansided reports on Twitter. But the re-connection “isn’t as certain as once thought,” per the tweet, with other suitors evidently circli...

Lukewarm Stove: Thoughts on a Cubs "Rebuild," Contreras True Availability, Springer Race Down to Two, Bauers Ask, More Social Navigation Lukewarm Stove: Thoughts on a Cubs “Rebuild,” Contreras’ True Availability, Springer Race Down to Two, Bauer’s Ask, More Last night, in a frustrated stupor, I accidentally phrased the title of our post on the official announcement of the Darvish trade as “… Cubs Trade Darvish and Caratini to San Diego for Davies, a Package of Prospects, and Cash,�...

Anyone else pick up on the very quick pushback against Jed Hoyer’s pushback on those Willson Contreras rumors? Like, lots of reporting that very quickly sought to make sure people weren’t thinking Contreras DEFINITELY wasn’t EVER getting traded? Usually, that means it’s a message someone wants to get out, and it was a signal to me that I should probably say something here. I started the discussion here, and then Michael tracked a lot of it here in the Stove. Then there was even more of ...
