Not with the Phillies one win away from clinching the NL East title and the Cubs going after them with a bullpen game. It worked about the way you figured it might. Nate Pearson threw a decent first inning, but Ca...2024

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
