| 9/19/24 | Cubs expected to lose veteran reliever after disappointing 2024. The Chicago Cubs have been struggling as of late. The Cubs are now out of contention and may end up saying goodbye to some players this coming offseason. Zachary Rotman of FanSided predicted that they will lose left-hander Drew Smyly in free agency.

| 8/28/24 | Chicago Cubs Slugger Seen as Next Cut Candidate Amid Salary Dump. The Chicago Cubs are red-hot in the month of August, continuing to stay in the hunt for a Wild Card spot after putting together an incredible comeback victory on Wednesday. The players on the field are clearly still fighting for their playoff lives, but because that outcome is unlikely right now, the front office has started positioning themselves to prepare for the offseason as the year comes to a close. With that has come the patented salary dump teams on the outside looking in normally do as they start creating financial flexibility for the winter. Drew Smyly was the first casualty of that when he was placed on outright waivers that will allow contending teams to sign the veteran left-hander for their own playoff push.

| 3/16/24 | Drew Smyly's role on the Chicago Cubs Opening Day roster revealed. The pitching staff is starting to come into focus for Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell. Counsell is still getting to know each pitcher but stressed that he would focus on building the staff around pitchers who can get outs. The Cubs' pitching staff has already been hit with the injury bug as Caleb Kilian is expected to miss most of the first half of the 2024 season while Jameson Taillon likely will be sidelined most of the first month due to a lingering back issue. Taillon's injury likely will result in Counsell needing to tweak the starting rotation that the Cubs have at the start of the season. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/drew-smyly-s-role-on... |

| 8/20/23 | Drew Smyly will replace Marcus Stroman in Cubs' rotation. At least for now, Drew Smyly will return to the Cubs' rotation to take the spot vacated by Marcus Stroman. The 34-year-old lost his spot earlier this month in the wake of an 8.37 ERA in his first five outings after the All-Star break, which included two attempts to pair Smyly with an opener to ease him into games. Manager David Ross has alluded to internal metrics suggesting Smyly's stuff should allow him to return to his earlier season success, and for why he was picked over Hayden Wesneski. Ross said they will play it by ear as far as Smyly's pitch count Tuesday, but that he has been “staying conditioned to give us length.” Source: https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2023/8/20/238394... |
