| 3/30/25 | Cubs Week in Review: Kyle Tucker shines, Eli Morgan struggles in series split. The Chicago Cubs had a great chance to take three-of-four games from the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the hard-hitting squad from Phoenix had other ideas with an eight-run eighth inning Sunday.

If you missed any of the action this week for the Cubs, here is a recap of the week that was for the North Siders.

Amaya hunted for a pitch where he could do damage in the Cubs’ biggest spot of the game Thursday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 26-year-old’s comfort and confidence at the plate can be traced back to his offensive turnaround last July. And when the moment found him with two outs and the bases loaded in a ...

Trying to determine the Chicago Cubs' roster for 2027 before the 2025 season has started may seem like a fool's errand, but here I am. While Jed Hoyer takes some heat, and rightfully so, for his conservative approach, a blurry look into the future should give Cubs' fans reason for optimism. Catcher: Miguel Amaya - I don't look for Amaya to turn into a star, but he should at least be a functional MLB catcher in the future.

| 12/22/24 | Chicago Cubs Add Another Catcher With Signing of Veteran Carlos Perez. Coming into the offseason, the Chicago Cubs knew they would have to upgrade their catcher position after Miguel Amaya didn't quite provide the offensive output they were looking for and Yan Gomes performed so poorly they had to release him. The Cubs traded for Matt Thaiss, sending cash considerations to the Los Angeles Angels to bring in the steady backstop. Chicago didn't stop there, though, signing veteran Carson Kelly to a deal that gives them some real depth in case of injuries or poor performance. Because Thaiss still has an option remaining, the thought is Kelly will actually be the Opening Day backup if he plays well in Spring Training.

| 12/07/24 | Chicago Cubs Potential Free Agent Catcher Target Danny Jansen Signs With Rays. The Chicago Cubs were widely expected this winter to try to add a veteran catcher to at the very least platoon with the young Miguel Amaya who has had an up and down start to his career. One of those potential options who could come in and split time - and probably the best one available in a very thin free agent market at the position - was Danny Jansen, traded within the division at the deadline from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Boston Red Sox. Instead, Jasen remains in the American League East and has signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Tampa Bay Rays. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-pote... |
| 11/14/24 | Chicago Cubs Linked To Power-Hitting Veteran Catcher in MLB Free Agency. As the Chicago Cubs get set to try to improve this offseason, one position they have been consistently predicted to try to upgrade is catcher. While bringing a superstar behind the plate probably isn't possible given who's available, at the very least Chicago is expected to acquire someone who can platoon with Miguel Amaya. The youngster played 117 games in his first full season in the big leagues and hit for a .232 batting average with eight home runs, 47 RBI, and an OPS of .644. It wasn't a bad year for Amaya by any means, but upgrading the position is certainly in the cards. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-link... |

| 10/19/24 | Insider Says Chicago Cubs Will Likely Add Another Veteran to Key Position Group. There is a lot on the plate of the Chicago Cubs' front office this offseason. Upgrades at different positions throughout their lineup is needed, but they also need their current star players to perform at a consistent rate the entire year. Catcher has routinely been mentioned as a position the Cubs will look to improve this winter after Miguel Amaya didn't take the next step in his career following becoming the full-time starter, but it's not clear what direction they are going to take. Star prospect Moises Ballesteros reached Triple-A this past season, but based on his age, he still seems unlikely to be utilized in a serious role next year.

| 10/04/24 | Miguel Amaya's September swoon confirms a rumored Cubs' offseason priority. For all the focus there was on Miguel Amaya's offensive turnaround in July and August, little attention was paid to the struggles he had during the final month of the 2024 season for the Chicago Cubs. In September, Amaya slashed .193/.254/.316 through 64 plate appearances with a wRC+ of 61. September felt like the league was making an adjustment to Amaya's refined hitting mechanics, and the result was the catcher looking like the offense-deprived player he was during the first two and a half months of the season. Amaya's struggles during the month of September is a reminder of why the Cubs likely did not adjust their offseason plans. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/miguel-amaya-s-septe... |
