• On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Twins series previewPhoto by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images The Cubs visit Minnesota for a three-game set. The Cubs come off an excellent 5-1 homestand and play six road games before this year’s All-Star break next week. To give you an idea of how much this team has changed so quickly, the Cubs’ starting pitchers the last time they visited Target Field two years ago were Drew Smyly, Hayden Wesneski and Marcus ...2025See more articles Hayden Wesneski -
• Cardinals 8, Cubs 6: Well, that was ugly, despite another great game from Michael BuschPhoto by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images A stirring comeback went for naught when the Cubs bullpen blew up in the eighth. The Cubs bullpen has been so good this year that having an inning like the one Brad Keller had in the eighth inning of the Cubs’ 8-6 loss to the Cardinals is, frankly, shocking. It turned on one play in that inning, and I’ll get to that, but first things first. The Drew Pom...2025Continue with Michael Busch breaking news -

• Mets 6, Cubs 2: The difference between these teams? The bullpensVincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The Cubs and Mets aren’t that far apart. But the Mets have better relievers. The Cubs and Mets played evenly for the first six and a half innings of this game, pretty much while the starters were still throwing. Then the bullpens took over and you can see the difference between the two teams. Mets relievers shut down Cubs hitters. Cubs relievers allowed four...2025See also Matthew Boyd latest news -
• How the Washington Nationals can fix the bullpenChristopher Hanewinckel-Imagn Images The Nationals bullpen needs an overhaul, here are some moves they can make As if we needed any more evidence, yesterday showed us that the Nationals bullpen needs an overhaul. The free agents Mike Rizzo brought in to the bullpen are not getting the job done. Jorge Lopez, Lucas Sims, and Colin Poche all have ERA’s in the double digits. Mike Rizzo needs t...2025Click for news about Mike Rizzo news and rumors -
• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fastPhoto by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025See also Yency Almonte rumors

• Another updated look at the 2025 Cubs roster, payroll and luxury taxPhoto by Mary Turner/Getty Images The Cubs still have a lot of space under the luxury tax. Spend it, Jed. Now that the deadline for arbitration-eligible players to sign before hearings has passed and Kyle Tucker is the only such Cub unsigned for this year, I thought it would be a good idea to take another look at the 2025 team payroll, projected roster and luxury tax situation. As usual, T...2025See also Kyle Tucker -

• Braves News: Offense Comes Alive in Win Over Minnesota, Matt Olson’s Big Night, MoreJesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports The offense finally had a big game. Last week, while the Braves did go 5-2, their offense also struggled. It was great to see Atlanta’s pitching perform at the level that it did, but winning consistently while only scoring around three runs a game is a hard trend to sustain. Fortunately, the Braves decided the start of this week would be different. Atlanta ...2024Continue with Matt Olson availability report

Timeline
- 2025
"The first day, in Game 2 of a doubleheader, he gave up a leadoff single, got a strikeout and a fly out, then gave way to Drew Smyly." - 2024
"Drew Smyly threw two perfect innings to wrap things up, and I do think this sort of multi-inning relief role is the right one for Smyly." - 2023
"Drew Smyly entered and ended the inning with a strikeout of Blackmon, but not before wild-pitching the runner to second." - 2022
"Drew Smyly will start for the Cubs and Brandon Woodruff will get the call for the Brewers." - 2021
"Jose Altuve's seventh-inning homer off Drew Smyly in the Astros’ 7-2 victory over Atlanta in World Series Game 2 on Wednesday night was the 22nd postseason home run of his career, tying him with Bernie Williams for second on the all-time list." - 2020
"The Giants have signed left-hander Drew Smyly, as per an announcement on the team’s Twitter feed." - 2019
"Texas added left-hander Drew Smyly in a trade at the outset of the offseason and has since signed Lance Lynn on a three-year contract and selected the contract of veteran righty Edinson Volquez, who was signed last offseason to a two-year minor league contract in the wake of August 2017 Tommy John surgery." - 2018
"Drew Smyly wouldn't mind being reunited with Alex Cobb on the Cubs, and the rehabbing left-hander did a little recruiting on Friday." - 2017
"The Cubs not only signed free-agent reliever Brandon Morrow, but they added an extra arm for the future in lefty Drew Smyly." - 2016
"Left-hander Drew Smyly started for the Rays and allowed just six hits in 6 2/3 innings." - 2015
"Adrian Beltre put the Rangers ahead of starter Drew Smyly and the Rays with the 406th home run of his career, and Texas completed a three-game sweep with a 5-3 victory on Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Park." - 2014
"Finding hidden gems in trades of big-name players, such as Ben Zobrist in the 2006 Aubrey Huff trade, Matt Joyce in the 2008 Edwin Jackson trade or, more recently, Drew Smyly in this summer's David Price blockbuster."

• The 5 worst Cubs games of 2024Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images You probably don’t want to remember these, but here we are. There have been other years when I’ve posted a number of blowout losses in this annual recap. In some ways, those are easier to take, a team runs up a huge score against the Cubs but it still counts for only one loss. Other times I’ve filled these with soul-crushing defeats.

As most of you know, I generally try to take the optimistic view of the Chicago Cubs.

Getting there is still a long shot, but they at least began the trip on a nigh note with a well-played 6-3 win over the Marlins Friday even...2024Check it out Crow Armstrong stats -

All of that resulted in a well-played 7-3 win over the Twins. The Cubs didn’t waste any time getting going at...2024See more articles Nuccio DiNuzzo -

(If that sounds familiar, I wrote the same words in last year’s midseason grades article.) The Cubs stand seven games out of first place in the N.L. Central at the All-Star break. This still shapes up as a weak division that could be taken with fewer than 90 wins. One th...2023Click for news about Michael Reaves
