• Cubs roster move: Matt Shaw recalled, Nicky Lopez designated for assignment

Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images The Cubs hope their third-base problem has been solved. Matt Shaw appeared in 18 games to start the 2025 season with the Cubs. He batted .172/.294/.241 (10-for-58) with one home run. Clearly, that’s not good, so the Cubs optioned him to Triple-A Iowa in the hope that some time in the minors would get him straightened out. Shaw started slowly at Iowa, bu...2025

• The Cubs have had some success signing older players, but most of the time it didn’t work

Davey Lopes with the Cubs in 1984 | Getty Images Justin Turner, formerly a very good player, had been awful for the Cubs until his walkoff hit Tuesday. How have similar Cubs acquisitions worked out? Justin Turner had struggled all year until he hit his stunning walkoff double Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field. That prompted me to take a look back at Cubs history to see what happened when th...2025

• Mets 6, Cubs 2: The difference between these teams? The bullpens

Vincent 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...2025

I don’t have to rehash how bad Ryan Pressly’s outing was Tuesday night at Wrigley Field in the 11th inning against the Giants. You probably saw it, or if you didn’t, you can read the boxscore line.

• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fast

Photo by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory.
