Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The Cubs got all three of the things noted in today’s headline and won in a very, very fast game. The Cubs and Orioles met on perhaps the nicest weather day of the entire summer to date at Wrigley Field. Unlimited sunshine, 72 degrees, wind blowing in at 12 miles per hour.

The Cubs acquired four new players by trade before Thursday’s deadline: Willi Castro, Taylor Rogers, Andrew Kittredge and Michael Soroka. This is a bit confusing and I’ll try to make clear all the roster moves, both 40-man and 26-man, here. Kittredge and Soroka were added to ...2025

• On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Orioles series preview

Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images The Cubs host a team from the AL East. The Orioles were expected to contend this year after winning 101 games in 2023 and 91 last year. Instead, they got off to a horrific start and were 21-36 at the end of May. Since then, they’ve played better, going 29-23 in June and July, but they still stand last in the AL East at 50-59. That mark is actually slightly bet...2025
