• Brewers, Julian Merryweather Agree To Minor League Deal
The Brewers and right-handed reliever Julian Merryweather are in agreement on a minor league deal, reports Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Merryweather had been with the Mets but opted out of his minor league deal earlier in the week. The Warner Sports Management client will report to Triple-A Nashville for the time being. Merryweather,…...2025

Photo by Lawrence Brown/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Cubs falter, then recover late for a 5-3 walk-off win. If you came out of the trade deadline frustrated, then this weekend at Wrigley Field probably didn’t do anything to allay your concerns or frustrations. Certainly, an Orioles team that traded away a good chunk of its players and had been well under .500 didn’t feel like a series ...2025

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Cubs stumble late in a 4-3 loss to the Orioles. Two games ago, I noted the Cubs had played .500 over the last 36 games. That number now is 38 games. This game is just stuck in neutral. While they are stuck there, the Brewers ran right past them. Nothing is over with more than 50 games remaining in the season, but as the season grows shorter, every game ba...2025

This is Tom’s platform and while I usually just talk about the game and generally how things are going. As a guy who purports to talk about the big picture, I don’t think the trade deadline is a thing that I can ign...2025

Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images The Cubs avoid a sweep with a 10-3 win ahead of the trade deadline. Phew. That was a cathartic win. You could feel the tension building in Chicago and throughout Cubs Nation. I mean, way back in game number 72, the Cubs reached 18 games over .500. Here they are 36 games later at that same mark. Though I’m completely comfortable giving some corners of Cub f...2025

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The Cubs were crushed by the Brewers, 9-3. If you watched the Cubs these last two days in Milwaukee and were prone to knee-jerk reactions, you’d stand pat with all of your prospect capital or shop in the clearance bin. You hate to ever use two games as any kind of litmus test. But on these two days, these are two teams headed in completely different...2025

We’re not alike if you don’t think that was the right thing to do. At least one national baseball website had the Cubs as their No. 1 team in their weekly power rankings.

They’re in first place in the NL Central, though by just one game, and have had une...2025

Two strong wins and heading into the break, the Cubs are on a really high note. They also get a full reset. They aren’t in desperate need of the reset. But I’ll go out on a limb and guess at least one or two of the players have some aches, pains, bumps an...2025

That looks like one that you laugh and say nothing went our way. But for seven and a half innings, this game could have gone either way. But the Twins executed when they needed to and the Cubs didn’t. This is one of those gam...2025
