• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1922Max Flack | Bettman Archive One of the most famous deals in all of Cubs history was made in this year. The 1922 Cubs hung around first place early, then a bad June put them 11 games out. They then went 38-20 in July and August and at one point in August had climbed to within 3½ games of first place at 64-49, following a seven-game winning streak. But a 16-25 finish put them in third place....2025Check it out Gabby Hartnett breaking news today -
• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1924Charlie Grimm with the Cubs in 1935 | Getty Images The Cubs got two key players by trade this year. In 1924, the Cubs contended and stayed near first place through the end of July, but a 13-18 August dropped them out of the race.

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1932Mark Koenig at Wrigley Field in 1933 | Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images It was a Cubs pennant year, with a couple of key acquisitions. The Cubs returned to the World Series in 1932, winning the NL pennant by four games. In second place for much of the season early, it took a 22-6 August — which included a 14-game winning streak and a 19-2 run — to secure the title.

The Cubs would post their second straight losing record in 1941, the first time they had done that since 1920-21. And so it was that some of the players who helped them to several pennants over the previous decade were traded away. May 6: Acquired Charlie Gilbert, J...2024Continue with Gabby Hartnett -

In 1959, the Cubs had contended briefly, and finished with 74 wins, their most since 1952 and second-most since 1946. They had the two-time MVP Ernie Banks anchoring a pretty good offense. The first thing the Cubs did in the offseason was fire manager Bob Scheffing. The edict...2024See more articles Richie Ashburn injury update -

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1944Eddie Stanky | Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images Another quiet year for deals. The Cubs had not had a winning season since 1939 and 1944 would be no different, though the team did play better after dropping to a season-low 17 games under .500 at 18-35 when they dropped the first game of a doubleheader to the Reds June 25.
