Cubs add Alzolay, de la Cruz, and Bote to the 40-man roster.

Hannemann has been outrighted to AAA Iowa.

Roster stands at 36.

As long as they keep Kelly Crull I'll be happy.

I think Mooney is one of the best Cubs beat writers, I'm sorry to see him go.

One reason NBC Sports is having to cut back is because they encourage the use of ad blockers on their website.  If there is an auto play video embedded in one of their articles, it won't run as long as the ad blocker is turned on.  They seem to think disabling annoying auto play videos is a punishment.

Too bad.  In recent years Mooney has replaced Trib/Daily Herald/Sun Times from old days.

Yeah, I don't think Mooney was half-bad as beat writers go.

Just let this sink in Jesse Rogers is the best currently employed, non-paywalled beat writer covering the Cubs.  I really need to get an Athletic subscription.

To Jesse's credit, he has gotten a lot better than he was when he started.  At first, he barely seemed to know the rules of baseball.
