Sat, 05 May 2012 10:54:16 -0700 Chicago Cubs INF Jeff Baker (illness) has been bothered recently by flu-like symptoms.
Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:48:30 -0700 Chicago Cubs 2B Jeff Baker made another start at first base Tuesday, April 10, against the Milwaukee Brewers. "I'm going to get Baker in there as much as possible," manager Dale Sveum said. "He swings the bat too good against left-handers to get him out of there. You try to get (1B Bryan LaHair) at-bats and get him accustomed, but (LaHair) didn't swing too well against left-handers in spring training. I've got to get Baker's bat in there as much as I possibly can." Baker was 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly, walk and stolen base.
Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:14:19 -0700 Chicago Cubs 1B Bryan LaHair (back) is scheduled to return to the lineup Sunday, April 8, after dealing with a bulging disc in his back. "It's just such a minor thing, but it's something I couldn't prevent - it's like a nerve thing," said LaHair, who blamed an impingement for the pain in his back and leg. "The nerve settled down now and the pain is pretty much out, and now it's just getting back into the feel of things. I should be back in there this weekend." 2B Jeff Baker replaced LaHair at first base on opening day Thursday, April 5.
Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:27:14 -0700 Chicago Cubs 1B Bryan LaHair (back) is "50-50" to play on opening day against the Washington Nationals Thursday, April 5. "He's improved a great deal," manager Dale Sveum said. "He'll come in (Thursday), get treatment, do some soft toss and we'll make an evaluation. Then he'll hit a little and if that goes well, we'll put him in the lineup." INFs Jeff Baker and Blake DeWitt are possibilities to replace LaHair.
Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:00:58 -0800 Chicago Cubs 2B Jeff Baker might spell 3B Ian Stewart on occasion at third base, especially against left-handed pitchers, and he might also get time behind 1B Bryan LaHair at first base.
Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:00:35 -0800 Chicago Cubs 3B Ian Stewart is expected to play the bulk of the time at third base, but he might get off days against left-handed pitching, giving 2B Jeff Baker time at the hot corner.
Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:06:50 -0800 Chicago Cubs 1B Bryan LaHair enters camp as the starting first baseman, even after the team traded for 1B Anthony Rizzo in the offseason. "There's always a chance of somebody coming into spring training, there's always that guy who lights things up," manager Dale Sveum said, "but I think right now, we're committed to LaHair being our first baseman." 2B Jeff Baker could be used as the backup to LaHair or on days when the team faces a tough lefty. LaHair has added a workout program to his routine in order to try and increase his speed, agility and balance. He said he is also much more mentally strong than in past seasons.
Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:19:51 -0800 The Chicago Cubs and 2B Jeff Baker avoided arbitration Tuesday, Jan. 17, by agreeing on a one-year, $1.375 million deal.
Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:49:57 -0700 The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are expected to begin their compensation talks regarding general manager Theo Epstein in the near future. Epstein has agreed to a five-year, $18.5 million deal with the Cubs, and the Red Sox will be compensated in the form of a player or two. The chances of the Red Sox landing SS Starlin Castro or SP Matt Garza are highly unlikely. OF Brett Jackson, OF Matt Szczur, 3B Josh Vitters, P Trey McNutt, P Jon Jackson, P Alberto Cabrera and IF Jeff Baker are all options to be dealt as compensation.
Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:21:43 -0700 The Chicago Cubs have told teams they want to hold on to 2B Jeff Baker. OF Reed Johnson is available, though.
