    • Your weekly baseball moment of Zen: no-hitter edition
    The Cubs celebrate after their no-hit victory against the Pirates on Wednesday | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Dansby Swanson understood the assignment No-hitters are the perfect type of random baseball event. In a given season there will be a handful of them, but you’re just as likely to see one thrown by a wily veteran on the verge of retirement as you are from that year’s All-Star star...2024

    • A look at Cubs no-hitters through history
    Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images The Cubs threw their second-ever combined no-no Wednesday. Here are all the other Cubs no-hitters. The combined no-hitter Wednesday evening by Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson and Porter Hodge against the Pirates is the 18th in Cubs franchise history. That statement has to be looked at with a small grain of salt. The first four no-hitters thrown by the Chicago ...2024

    Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images Who’s got the longest active streak of not being no-hit? All of you likely know that the Cubs hold the MLB record for most consecutive games not being no-hit, 7,920, between Sandy Koufax’ perfect game against them September 9, 1965 and Cole Hamels no-hitting them for the Phillies at Wrigley Field July 25, 2015.

    • A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 2019
    Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images Some deals were made to try to put the Cubs back in the postseason. As would happen again in September 2023, the Cubs had a playoff spot in hand in September 2019, only to go on a nine-game losing streak that was one of the worst collapses in franchise history. Some of these deals might look a bit different in hindsight had the Cubs made the playoffs. M...2024

    Getty Images The Cubs tried a couple of “win now” deals. They didn’t work out. Coming off the World Series title in 2016, the Cubs had a rough first half and were under .500 at the All-Star break. Then they won 14 of 17 after the break and became buyers, after rumors they might have traded Jake Arrieta and Wade Davis if that hadn’t happened. The Cubs made the postseason, but were eliminate...2024

A couple of years ago, I wrote articles about Cubs players who had played in exactly one game for the team from 1970-2009 and from 2010-19. I also noted a few from the last two years last December (so some of this article will look familiar). Matt Dermody was in last year’s article for his singl...2022
