When the Chicago Cubs were looking for outside help to re-design and produce their monthly magazine Vine Line, they turned to EMI Network, a Cincinnati marketing and publication company.

EMI now manages the magazine’s content, reaching 30,000-plus Cubs fans nationwide. It created a special graphic design for each Cubs home game ticket and started developing videos for the Cubs web site. When Cubs great Ron Santo died last December, EMI produced an instant classic edition of Vine Line celebrating the life of the nine-time All Star third baseman.

The company also opened a new Chicago office located in Wrigleyville to help it serve the Cubs.

EMI isn’t sharing specific plans, but its work with the Cubs has positioned the 27-year-old company to expand in the sports marketing space with other professional and possibly collegiate programs. Six months after the Cubs deal was signed, EMI is optimistic about its growth prospects. Read the rest of this entry »

MATT GARZA COMES TO CUBS

Right handed starter to fill out rotation

January 8, 2011 – The Chicago Cubs today acquired right-handed pitcher Matt Garza, outfielder Fernando Perez and left-handed pitcher Zachary Rosscup from the Tampa Bay Rays for right-handed pitcher Chris Archer, catcher Robinson Chirinos, infielder Hak-Ju Lee and outfielders Sam Fuld and Brandon Guyer.

Garza, 27, went 15-10 with a 3.91 ERA in the rugged AL East last season. He allowed just 193 hits over 204.2 innings, with 150 strikeouts and joins a rotation featuring Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster and Carlos Silva that should be one of the best in the NL Central.
