    • Could Carson Kelly have the best hitting season ever for a Cubs catcher?
    Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images It’s worth a look, anyway. Carson Kelly is off to a fantastic — and wholly unexpected — start for the Chicago Cubs in 2025. In 20 games, with 80 plate appearances, Kelly is batting .361/.500/.820 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored, 17 walks and only seven strikeouts. He remains, as of Tuesday morning, the only MLB player with at least eight...2025

    • A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1922
    Max 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....2025

    Rabbit Maranville | Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images This was a rough year for the North Siders. But they did make a couple of good acquisitions. The 1925 season was a peculiar outlier in franchise history. After three decent seasons where the Cubs finished with winning records but well out of first place, they collapsed and finished last in 1925 at 68-86 — their first-eve last-place...2025

    • A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1929
    Earl Webb | Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images A very quiet year for Cubs transactions. The Cubs won 98 games in 1929, winning the NL pennant by 10½ games over the Pirates. They took over first place to stay in late July and at that point had a 17-2 run that made the race not close; at one point in September they led by 14 games before coasting home. It was the Cubs’ first penna...2024

    Dizzy Dean | Photo by Pictorial Parade/Getty Images Not many deals, but a couple were significant. As it turned out, 1938 was a watershed year for the Chicago Cubs, though no one would have known it at the time. Coming into the season, the Cubs had posted 12 consecutive winning seasons and won three pennants in that time (and probably could have also won in 1930 and 1937, years where they ...2024

But then they lost seven of nine and were never really in serious contention after that, though they did manage to get to 70-56 in early September, 6½ games out of first place.

The Cubs would post their second straight losing record in 1941, the first time they had done that since 1920-21.

    Spencer Arrighetti (SP - HOU) - The childish part of me had a really hard time not titling this "Spencer Spaghetti". Arrighetti has, in the space of one season, gone from unusable to possible streamer to "use most of the time".

Timeline

  • 2025
    "The only Cubs catchers who have hit 30 or more home runs in a season are Gabby Hartnett (37 in 1930) and Rick Wilkins (30 in 1993)."

  • 2024
    "He was the first to do it in a win since Gabby Hartnett on May 31, 1925, as the Cubs routed the Pirates at home, 11-2."

  • 2023
    "One more fun fact about Wisdom’s homers: Patrick Wisdom is only the 4th Cubs hitter with at least 8 home runs in their first 15 games of the season, joining Lee Walls (1958), Hank Sauer (1954) and Gabby Hartnett (1925)."

  • 2022
    "/533 with a career-high 24 home runs and again in 2022, becoming only the second Cubs catcher to start three All-Star games (Gabby Hartnett, the other)."
