• The Kyle Tucker trade by the numbers

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images This is a big swing by a normally cautious front office. On Friday Jed Hoyer completed what I consider to be the biggest trade during his time as Cubs President of Baseball Operations. The Cubs traded for elite outfielder Kyle Tucker in a deal that sent a slew of Cubs MLB-level talent, and one very promising prospect, to the Astros in r...2024

• Here’s the Cubs’ entire 40-man roster and what might happen with it this offseason

Photo by Griffin Quinn/MLB Photos via Getty Images The team has many decisions to make. Last week, I posted this article about the 14 (!) players the Cubs have who are arbitration-eligible for 2025. In the poll attached to that article, 57 percent of you said the Cubs would non-tender at least seven of those players, with some commenting that it might be as many as nine. So I thought I’d e...2024

• 2024 Cubs final season grades

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024

• Cubs 10, Tigers 2: Miguel Amaya’s grand slam leads the way

Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs offense exploded, and Justin Steele had an excellent outing. Well, THAT was fun! The weather in Chicago this week has been about as good as it’s been all summer, and on a glorious, warm summer afternoon the Cubs exploded offensively for a 10-2 thrashing of the Tigers, led by Miguel Amaya’s second-inning grand slam. It was the most runs the Cubs had ...2024

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs sweep the Astros to close a successful homestand. Every season is an entity onto its own. You watch enough seasons and they start to feel like one long homogenous mass. But when you sort them out, or more specifically when one is going on, you can really feel that individuality. And so, as we sit in front of this currently unfolding season, th...2024
