The Chicago Cubs have sprung to life in 2025, and now the second-place Brewers are chasing them in the standings, including head-to-head this week.

Yesterday the Chicago Cubs had a hero: Ian Happ. Happ had a one-run single at the bottom of the 10th inning to win a tough battle against the Pittsburg Pirates. Both the Pirates and the Cubs were dead locked at two runs after the first inning and for the remainder of the game and had […]

While Chicago Cubs President Jed Hoyer spoke to reporters last week about being in the “information-gathering stage” before the July 31 trade deadline, his protege, Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, was already a step ahead. Breslow and San Francisco Giants President Buster Posey executed the season’s biggest shocker Sunday, with the Red […]

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates lost their most recent series against the Chicago Cubs last weekend at Wrigley Field, with their poor hitting the main culprit for their defeats. The Pirates scored just seven runs over the four games, which comes even more frustrating as their pitching allowed just nine runs to one of the […]

The Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants may have secretly called Jed Hoyer’s bluff. Of course, the Red Sox dealing Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday was a loud reminder to expect the unexpected when it comes to Major League teams ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline.

If it seems like the Cubs are more fun to watch this year — and are having more fun themselves — there’s a reason for that. “Last year, we had a good clubhouse,” first baseman Michael Busch told the Sun-Times on Sunday. The Cubs entered their Monday off day — a welcome breather between a […]

The Boston Red Sox decision to trade Rafael Devers ahead of the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline is not the first time the team has made an in-season move that featured the departure of a beloved superstar in Boston. While the Cubs have indirect connections to the Red Sox’s decision to trade Devers, they are […]

With a focus on strengthening their starting rotation and bullpen, the Chicago Cubs are preparing for the MLB trade deadline. The bullpen needs a reliever with experience in high-leverage situations. The Cubs will undoubtedly need to bolster that in the trade market and could consider another impact hitter, particularly with the update on star right […]

There will be much rejoicing when Shota Imanaga re-joins the Chicago Cubs starting rotation, but that won’t completely satisfy their need for pitching. Imanaga appears to be close to being activated from the 15-day injured list with a hamstring injury. As good as the Cubs have been this season, their rotation is not playoff ready. […]

The Cubs should look to add at the MLB trade deadline, and the Diamondbacks have the perfect fits if they are sellers.

The Chicago Cubs have looked like one of the best teams in baseball, firing on all cylinders. Cubs pitchers rank No. 10 in baseball with a 3.69 ERA and the offense is ranked No. 2 in MLB with a 117 wRC+ (all stats through 60 games. Without their elite defense, Chicago likely wouldn’t be where […]

The argument could be made that the Chicago Cubs set the stage for the Boston Red Sox to trade Rafael Devers. At the center of the decision for the Red Sox was the fact that they were successful in their pursuit of Alex Bregman this past offseason. At the time, the Cubs were making a […]
