Buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? That’s the big question lingering over the Cubs these days. The Aug. 1 deadline is less than two weeks away, and the direction the front office will take is not always easy to predict. What they do leading up to that day does not hinge on any one game or series, but the…
The Chicago White Sox return to action tonight as they take on the New York Mets. Can Lucas Giolito dominate the Mets and win us cash? The Chicago Cubs look to bounce back after a loss last night to the Washington Nationals? Can Patrick Wisdom leave the yard again? Join the CHGO Bets Daily crew, Sean Anderson and Cody Delmendo…
Against his former team, Jameson Taillon throws eight shutout innings to lead the Chicago Cubs to a win over the New York Yankees — their first win ever at Yankee Stadium. Cody Bellinger hit his second home run in as many days, and Patrick Wisdom notched his first extra-base hit since May 28. With just one series left before the…
To start the season, 4/5 of the Cubs’ ideal starting rotation was intact. Marcus Stroman was the one ready to get the ball on Opening Day. Justin Steele was the young star ready to build on a strong 2022 campaign cut short by injury. Jameson Taillon was the free-agent signing coming off two solid years in the Bronx. Drew Smyly…

The Chicago Cubs faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers at home on Thursday night. Despite having won 5 of their last 6 games, including 2 of 3 against the Dodgers, the Cubs were unable to secure a victory.
