Jon Lester will not return to Chicago after all as the veteran southpaw has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals.

Doug Glanville, Jason Heyward and Gary Matthews joined Cole Wright on a MLK Jr. Day special edition of Cubs 360 presented by Miller Lite to discuss the importance and value the Players Alliance brings to the youth and to the MLB.

The Cubs came to terms on deals with Javy Báez, Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras and Zach Davies, avoiding salary arbitration.

Cubs Charities, RBI All-Stars, Ian Happ and Jason Heyward all partnered for a day of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Former Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein has been hired as a consultant for on-field matters by the Major League Baseball Commissioner’s Office.

Ian Happ shared a special moment with Abel Yolich at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
