    Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The Cubs look for a doubleheader split. About Game 1, I have just this to say right now: Gotta figure out why Adbert Alzolay is serving up so many home runs -- already four in only a bit over nine innings. Until then it might be wise to let someone else close games. I will have a full recap of both of today’s doubleheader games tomorrow morning at 8 a....2024

    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images A look back at last year. The Cubs appeared to be headed toward another deadline selloff until they won eight in a row in late July. That, along with Dansby Swanson’s reported plea to Jed Hoyer to not sell off every year, prompted the Cubs to make a couple of small “buy” deals at the deadline.
