Welcome to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™. Here we have material from current beat writers, bloggers, and the occasional in-house habitué, moonlighting. These pieces center around #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, such as they are.
I’ve added a couple of ‘National’ articles as they pertain to the running theme of the CBA negotiations and shed a bit of light on the progress or lack thereof of those talks. Most of the local print/TV media are still on holiday — the last article we printed from the Sun-Times was dated 12/3, for example — but the bloggers and national press are still at whatever it is that they do down there.
