Los Angeles Angels two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani achieved a first in the near century history of baseball's All-Star Game: selection as both a position player and a pitcher.
A Chicago Cubs rally against the Los Angeles Angels was cut short by a strike-three, check-swing call on Kyle Schwarber.
Wild pitching and a six-error game are memorable enough. But with the offense rolling (mostly), here are the big takeaways from Chicago's funky beginning to 2019.
The Cubs have signed suspended shortstop Addison Russell to a one-year deal worth $3.4 million, avoiding an arbitration hearing, according to a source.
As part of their early offseason discussions, the Cubs have indicated to other teams they are willing to discuss trade proposals for almost all of the players on their roster, including 3B Kris Bryant, according to sources.
Kyle Schwarber already has shown that he's comfortable on the biggest stage, so why should this postseason be any different?
