There probably wasn’t a specific moment before the trade deadline when Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said, “We’re going to be buyers!” There were some moments that helped, of course. Hoyer noted the comeback win over the White Sox and the game that featured Mike Tauchman’s walk-off home-run robbery — both part of the eight-game winning streak that…
The Chicago Cubs enter the night 5 games out of 1st place after adding Jeimer Candelario to their roster on Monday. Trey Mancini gets DFA’d by the team. How did the Cubs fair at the trade deadline? What did they give up and what do they get back? Was it enough? Luke Stuckmeyer and Cody Delmendo take you from the…
Jared Young is back with the Cubs, but he won’t by himself stop the team’s revolving door of first basemen.
The Chicago Cubs fell to the San Diego Padres, 5-3 on Wednesday night at Wrigley. The Padres jumped out to a 2-0 lead after a Jake Cronenworth RBI triple.

Following a 12-2 win to finish off a sweep of the A’s on Wednesday in Oakland, the Cubs are officially over 10 percent of the way through the regular season.

The Chicago Cubs offense exploded behind two more home runs from Patrick Wisdom and a five-hit performance (the first of his career) for Cody Bellinger. Wisdom is now tied for the league lead in homers with eight. The only player to not get a hit in their lineup tonight was Trey Mancini. Hayden Wesneski was also great. Was it enough…
It’s no secret this Cubs team isn’t necessarily built with much comeback potential, especially not when they’re facing large deficits. The focus of the offseason was on shoring up the starting pitching depth, adding a couple of backend bullpen pieces and putting Gold Glove-caliber defenders around the field. Run prevention, not run production, is what’s supposed to earn the Cubs…
Propelled by a MASSIVE 6-run 7th inning the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night. Hayden Wesneski didn’t have the game he was looking for in his first start of the season, allowing 3 runs in just 4.2 innings, but the Cubs refused to fall to 1-4 on the season. Wesneski no-decision was backed by clutch RBI hits from…
