The Chicago Cubs Pitching Rotation: In Desperate Need of Pitching on All Levels
Chicago Cubs News — If the Chicago Cubs don’t make any moves to improve their pitching staff this season the future doesn’t look very bright.

More Jeff Samardzija trade rumors
I thought the Jeff Samardzija trade rumors were put to sleep for at least a few months, but Gordo is back with more of them.

For Jeff Samardzija, There Are Plenty of ‘Gaps’
Jeff Samardzija looks in the mirror, sees an ace, and expects to be paid like one. Yesterday, on the first day of Cubs’ Spring Training, he told assembled reporters and beat writers that, “If there wasn’t a gap there I would have already signed.”

Cubs and Jeff Samardzija settle arbitration
This is news from a couple days ago, but arbitration agreements aren't really headline worthy for a blog like this. However, Jeff Samardzija figures to be a huge piece of the 2014 Cubs so it is, but just a little late.
