| 5/09/24 | Chicago Cubs Proposed Pitch Lands Closer From Biggest Rival. Despite the encouraging start for the Chicago Cubs, sitting at 22-16, there are areas the front office will need to address before the deadline. Perhaps even a team in the National League Central could help them out if the deal makes sense for both sides. If there's been one concerning issue on the Cubs roster nearly 40 games into the season, it's been in the bullpen. Closer Adbert Alzolay was one of the top pitchers on Chicago's relief staff last season, finishing with 22 saves, a 2.67 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.02.

| 5/06/24 | Brewers Use Discretion with Stolen Bases. Baserunning was one of the major differences in the Brewers' lone win over the Cubs in their weekend series, and it certainly wasn't the first time this season where they have used their team speed to push the envelope in a close game. The Brewers trailed 1-0 in the top of the eighth inning when four consecutive batters singled, then stole second base off Cubs reliever Adbert Alzolay and catcher Miguel Amaya. The group that did it included noted speedster Jackson Chourio, but also a pair of below average runners in Jake Bauers (who Baseball Savant has in the 12th percentile for baserunning value) and William Contreras (first percentile).

| 4/09/24 | Chicago Cubs bullpen comes into question after devastating loss. It's a new season but the same concern for the Chicago Cubs as their bullpen continues to come into question. The bullpen imploded during the team's loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday but it was the way that the loss occurred that has many Cubs fans worried as they wake up today. The Cubs jumped out to 8-0 lead over the Padres on Monday before San Diego scored 9 unanswered points, culminating in a go-ahead two-run home run by Fernando Tatis Jr off Cubs' closer Adbert Alzolay in the bottom of the 8th inning.

| 2/01/24 | Reliever Hector Neris and Chicago Cubs finalize $9 million, 1-year contract. The 34-year-old right-hander gets a $9 million salary this year, and the agreement includes a $9 million team option for 2025. The option would become a player option if Neris pitches in 60 games this season or finishes 45, is not on the injured list for the final game of the season and does not have a significant injury. Neris went 6-3 with a 1.71 ERA in 71 games with Houston last season. Neris likely will slot in as one of Chicago's primary setup men for Adbert Alzolay, who had 22 saves in 25 chances in 2023 in his first season as the closer.

BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. Last night I asked you if you thought that Adbert Alzolay would record 30 saves for the Cubs in 2024. I don't know if you are worried about Alzolay's health, think the Cubs are going to land a major closer or you are all just in a bad mood, but 61 percent of you thought that Alzolay would fall short of 30 saves. Just a reminder that you still have time to vote in the BCB Winter Western Classic between True Grit (1969) and My Darling Clementine (1946).

| 11/03/23 | Adbert Alzolay Example Of What Craig Breslow Could Do With Red Sox. On the surface, Craig Breslow's introductory Red Sox press conference Thursday at Fenway Park was one filled with corporate buzzwords like “synthesizing” and being “directionally aligned.” Breslow unsurprisingly kept details close to the vest, but just because he has an Ivy League vocabulary doesn't mean he can't communicate in a way that baseball players and coaches can understand. In fact, it's his demonstrated ability to do that with the Cubs that helped earn him his first job in a big chair. The Red Sox obviously hope Breslow, who oversaw pitching in Chicago, can turn around Boston the way he did the Cubs on the mound. Source: https://nesn.com/2023/11/adbert-alzolay-example-of... |

| 9/13/23 | Chicago Cubs bullpen faces a major test without Adbert Alzolay. At a crucial moment in the season where the Chicago Cubs need as many wins as possible to stave off their scorching hot playoff rivals, they'll be without one of their biggest weapons in the bullpen. It was reported yesterday that Adbert Alzolay was going on the injured list and almost immediately, the relief corps was tested in Colorado. The Cubs blew a 3-1 lead to the Rockies after Jose Cuas entered the game and once again faced danger when Michael Fulmer couldn't find the strike zone in the ninth. This group, specifically the core four of Alzolay, Fulmer, Julian Merryweather, and Mark Leiter Jr., has been worked to the bone. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/chicago-cubs-bullpen... |
| 9/12/23 | Can the Chicago Cubs bullpen step up without closer Adbert Alzolay? 'We'll match them up as best as possible.'. A weeklong break to rest Adbert Alzolay and his balky arm had ideally been exactly what the Chicago Cubs closer needed to be set for the final three weeks of the regular season. Instead, Alzolay landed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain. The move was retroactive to Sunday, setting up his earliest return for Sept. 25 ahead of the Cubs' final six games. “I don't think he felt like he can really help us right now, and that's concerning,” manager David Ross said.
