Anthony Rizzo at the World Classic?

He's received an invitation from the Italians. He's thinking about it.

On WSCR's Inside the Clubhouse, GM of the WBC team Italy Ned Colletti said that he asked former Cub Anthony Rizzo to participate on team Italy this spring. Rizzo is still deciding.

What's next for Zach Eflin in 2026?

Good question.

A healthy Zach Eflin in 2026, would you take him in the rotation?

He thinks he may be ready by Spring, but if he needs a month or so, is he a great depth sign for the Os? pic.twitter.com/YQYmXudIYD
