• MVP debatesPhoto by Hulton Archive/Getty Images How’d that guy win? One of the beauties of today’s advanced baseball stats is it gives nerds like me a chance to go back in time and argue about how badly baseball writers mangled MVP and Cy Young votes in years past. I’ve always been in favor of making ballots public, if for no other reason than to shame homerism for undeserving candidates. Whether tha...2025Check it out Cy Young news -
• Hey, Tom Ricketts! You need to get Kyle Tucker signed now — and not just for baseball reasonsDavid Banks-Imagn Images There’s something else that this signing would do for the Cubs. With Kyle Tucker off to a great start with the Cubs, the chorus of voices urging Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts to open up the team wallet and sign Tucker to an extension before he hits free agency has gotten louder. While there’s no question about Tucker’s abilities on the field — he’s hitting the way he ...2025Read about Tom Ricketts rumors -

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1903Mordecai Brown | Photo by FPG/Getty Images One very important player was acquired by trade in this year. The Cubs got off to a fantastic start in 1903, 30-11, and were in first place in early June. They faded and finished third, eight games out, their first winning season in the 20th Century. After the season ended they engineered a deal that brought a Hall of Fame pitcher to the team. Apr...2025Check it out Mordecai Brown injury -
