BREAKING: Centerfielder Cody Bellinger and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a three-year, $80 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Bellinger will receive opt-outs after each of the first two years of the deal. Bellinger, 28, returns to the Cubs after a prolonged free agency.
🚨 In a little over 48 hours, both of us at Cubs UK will have landed in Chicago! 🚨
We are so, so excited and can’t wait to catch our first EVER game at Wrigley Field.
If you’ve been saving any recommendations for us, please drop them now! 😍👇🏼
Always been a fan of his bat, and I still believe he’ll be an absolute star.
Wishing our guy all the best with the Rays. Nobody has been more fun to root for!

beat the best team in baseball.
Sorry, Cubs shutout the best team in baseball.
And for one reason only...
MARCUS STROMAN.
105 PITCHES... 9IP, 8K, and.... 0ER.
What a performance 💙💙💙
What a trip.
I (Rachel) finished with a 0.500 record which, given this year, I’ll absolutely take.
I’m on my way to the airport and there’s SO many people I need to thank for making this trip what it was…
The Chicago Cubs’ optimism of landing Shohei Ohtani has now significantly waned, one high-ranking executive said, leaving the LA Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants as the likely finalists.
Rach is still here for 3 days so I'm signing off.
So so thankful for everything this weekend, I can't put into words. Chicago, everything I thought you would be, you smashed it. 100x over. What a city.
Hope to see you all in the UK next year 💙💙
Glad the overall response regarding Seiya is standing by him.
The fact is that we wouldn't be in this position of meaningful baseball without his bat these last two months.
Our RF 😍
So.... What a weekend!
We've seen a HR fest in which we won, a walk off 11th and was 3 innings away from a perfect weekend. Who am I kidding, it was perfect anyway. Really not ready to leave 😢😢
However as Meatloaf said, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, so this one's for you

Still can’t believe that both Mike and I are gonna be in Chicago in August. Insanely excited to be seeing some live

Hi everyone, Mike here.
It is with great sadness and regret that I am posting this message.
Unfortunately on New Year's Day, our friend and UK Cubs co-host Joe Francis passed away.
WHAT A NAIL-BITER!
🚀 Michael Busch has now homered in FIVE STRAIGHT GAMES
💥 Nico is back with a BANG, getting us the run that got the lead
⚾️ Brown was dealing in the desert (6 IP / 1 H / 1 R / 2 BB)
🔒 Keegs locks it down in extras to secure us the W
THAT’S 3 IN A ROW 🔥🔥🔥
The rules state that, when playing in another country, the 2nd batter to hit a home run must get a contract extension of at least 4 years. I don’t make these rules, I’m just the messenger.
#ExtendCodyBellinger
What a privilege to be able to head up into the media section and meet these lovely guys last night!
Couldn’t have asked for a better final experience before I head home 💙

Strap yourself in Cubs fans, it comes down to this last week 🥺🥺
Merry Christmas, Cubs fans!
On behalf of both Mike and I, thank you to every single person who has followed and interacted with us this year. It makes the baseball season so much fun and we’re thankful for all of you.
