8/26/24 | Chicago Cubs May End Up Keeping Fan Favorite After All. The Chicago Cubs appeared to be parting ways with longtime fan favorite infielder David Bote when they chose to DFA him last Friday. Bote has now cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Iowa. Now, Bote has a choice to make. Or, he could accept it and continue making the money from the five-year, $16 million contract that he signed with the Cubs back in 2019.

8/24/24 | Cubs' Luis Vázquez grateful for growth in Triple-A this year: 'But I don't want to be in Iowa anymore'. Cubs rookie Luis Vázquez moved from third base to shortstop Saturday afternoon, taking ground balls at multiple positions after most of the team had retreated to the clubhouse after batting practice. “I'm just here to help contribute to the team, make that playoff push,” Vázquez said Saturday afternoon. After a 14-2 win against the Marlins — which Vázquez entered in the top of the eighth, hit by a pitch in his one plate appearance — the Cubs sat five games back of a wild-card spot, pending the conclusion of the Braves' game against the Nationals. With the move Friday to recall Vázquez and designate veteran David Bote for assignment coming on the heels of veteran reliever Héctor Neris' release and rookie Jack Neely's promotion, it could be tempting to lump them together as a shift in focus to the future.

MIAMI — The Chicago Cubs are a franchise caught in the middle as kids head back to school, the Bears grab the spotlight and the 2024 season crawls to its much-anticipated conclusion. They’re not far enough out of the National League wild-card race to officially cash it in but not close enough to pretend that anything short of a miracle is necessary to make the postseason.

3/28/23 | Column: Nico Hoerner's 3-year, $35 million extension was a small step forward in the Chicago Cubs' future. The Chicago Cubs signed second baseman Nico Hoener to a three-year, $35 million extension, according to multiple reports — a small but important step toward the team's future. The deal with Hoerner, who had a .281 average and 10 home runs in 2022, buys out two years of arbitration and the first year of free agency. Cubs President Jed Hoyer had yet to sign a prospect to a multiyear deal before free agency, a strategy many other large-market teams have adopted to gain cost certainty while rewarding players they consider part of their future. While it pales in comparison to deals like the eight-year, $100 million extension Ronald Acuña Jr. signed with the Atlanta Braves four years before he was eligible for free agency, it was the Cubs' first multiyear signing of a prospect since David Bote's five-year, $15 million extension in 2019.

10/11/22 | Cubs Season in Review: David Bote. David Bote's time with the Chicago Cubs has been a roller coaster ride, and that continued in 2022. After an intriguing rookie campaign in 2018, the Cubs decided to give Bote a five-year 15-million dollar extension, banking on the utility man's eye-popping exit velocities eventually translating to a massive offensive breakout. Unfortunately, it never really materialized into success at the dish. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/opinions/chicago-cubs-... |

9/21/22 | Bote drives in both runs, Cubs edge Marlins 2-1. MIAMI (AP) — David Bote hit a tying home run in the seventh inning, then added a sacrifice fly in the eighth that lifted the Chicago Cubs over the Miami Marlins 2-1 Tuesday night. Esteban Quiroz got the first two hits of his major league career and P.J. Higgins also had two hits for the Cubs, who snapped a three-game losing skid. The 30-year-old Quiroz was promoted from Triple-A Saturday and made his first start Tuesday. “This is a very humbling experience after so many years thinking of this moment,” said Quiroz, whose minor league background included 11 years in the Mexican League. “For me, this is something I couldn’t believe.” Chicago loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth against reliever Steven Okert (5-3). Michael Hermosillo was hit by a pitch and Zach McKinstry reached on a sacrifice bunt when catcher Jacob Stallings threw late to second. Quiroz had a bunt single and Bote hit a go-ahead flyball. “Wished we could have added more there but it was enough to win the game,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “I thought our pitching was the story tonight, obviously.” Adbert Alzolay (1-1) threw two innings of perfect relief. Brandon Hughes closed with a scoreless ninth around Garrett Cooper’s leadoff double for his sixth save. Sidelined since spring training because of a lat strain, Alzolay bounced back from a difficult season debut last Saturday, when he allowed two runs in two innings and took a 3-1 loss against Colorado. “I’m just enjoying the moment right now,” Alzolay said. “All the work that we have put in so far is making me now throw the ball better and with less effort. I’m able to stay more with my body to throw my pitches.” Miami starter Pablo López kept the Cubs scoreless until Bote’s leadoff homer in the...
