• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 111

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

• Cubs 5, Orioles 3: Justin Turner walks it off

Photo by Zoe Davis/Getty Images This is not a headline you expected to see today. Justin Turner has been a favorite Cub to dislike, by some, this year. His production is down, he’s 40, and he doesn’t really play good defense anymore. With the acquisition of Willi Castro, Turner’s place is basically pinch-hitting from time to time. On yet another gorgeous weather day at Wrigley Field Sunday...2025

• Cubs 10, Brewers 3: Moises Ballesteros and Kyle Tucker get it done

Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images The Cubs got their offense going and won the final game of the three-game series. You knew this Cubs team was in there somewhere, and it came out at the time everyone needed it most. The Cubs put together a varied offense, including nine hits, a home run and five walks, went 5-for-12 with RISP, and defeated the Brewers 10-3, moving back to within a game of...2025

• Freddy Peralta and the Brewers’ bullpen struggle, blown out by Cubs

Benny Sieu-Imagn Images Freddy Peralta has a bad day, and the bullpen wasn’t much better Box Score The Brewers had a chance to sweep the Cubs and move into a commanding position in the NL Central with a win today. However, the Cubs would not go quietly. They hit the Brewers’ pitchers hard right from the start, and it was just an overall bad day as the Brewers dropped the series finale 10-3...2025

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images And Ian Happ is headed to the injured list. This is not the way we had hoped this series would go. After an uncharacteristic bad outing from Matthew Boyd Monday, there was at least hope that Colin Rea could put together a good one Tuesday. Welp. Didn’t happen, and the Cubs also got poor relief work and some unusual bad defense from Pete Crow-Armstron...2025

Michael McLoone-Imagn Images The Brewers clinched the series with a 9-3 win, but we await further clarification on Chourio Box Score On May 2nd, the Cubs dismantled the Brewers. Quinn Priester pitched in that game and got beat up; he allowed seven runs in 4 1⁄3 innings, the Brewers lost 10-0, and the Cubs looked light years ahead of the Brewers.

Vidal Bruján scores a run at Wrigley Field in June | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Some small moves could make a big difference. The good news is that the Cubs currently have the second-best record in the National League. The bad news is that puts them in second in their own division and in the first Wild Card spot. The Brewers have gone 14-4 this month, including an 11-game winning strea...2025

With last week’s All-Star break, this update on the Cubs covers just three games, the series against the Red Sox over the weekend. Still, there’s good and bad to discuss.

• 2025 Cubs midseason grades

Photo by Peter Joneleit/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Here are my assessments of Cubs player performances so far this year. As befits a first-place team, most of them are pretty good. The Cubs really couldn’t have done much better so far this year. They have three All-Stars, two of them starting players. They’re in first place in the NL Central, though by just one game, and have had une...2025

I think that no matter how long I’ve been a baseball fan, I’ll never stop being fascinated how fast a bad team can look good and vice versa. There’s a lot of fool’s gold to be found over the course of a baseball season. If you had been out of the country or something and not following the Cubs before t...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

"com/8JgMJCJPaz— Andy Martínez (@amartinez_11) April 23, 2025 Justin Turner, who’d entered the game in the eighth batting for Workman and stayed in playing first base, was called out on strikes to end the ninth, and so, for the second straight game, the Cubs would play extra innings."

2024
"Martinez: Red Sox He’s popular there and they need a DH with Justin Turner gone."

2023
"Stroman allowed a leadoff double in the fourth to Justin Turner, who scored on two ground outs to make it 6-1."

2022
"Beasley’s agent, Justin Turner, tells NFL Network that Beasley has retired from the NFL."

2021
"Justin Turner left today’s game due to what the Dodgers described as left groin discomfort, and manager Dave Roberts said the third baseman will have to miss at least a brief amount of time."

2020
"Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner took umbrage at commissioner Rob Manfred calling the World Series trophy a "piece of metal."

2019
"Justin Turner, who is entering the final year of his contract, would likely have to shift to the right side of the infield if L."

2018
"The fact that Justin Turner played hurt in the World Series isn't as much a reason he's a beloved Dodgers teammate as the fact that he wouldn't talk about it then and won't talk about it now."

2017
"Justin Turner hit a three-run homer run in the first inning off a victory in Game 1 of the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile."

2016
"But that was then and this is the National League Championship Series and the Dodgers lead it, two games to one, after Yasmani Grandal and Justin Turner took Arrieta deep and Rich Hill silenced the Cubs in a 6-0 win on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium."

2015
"Buster Posey belted a grand slam and singled to contribute to a four-run outburst in the seventh inning as the San Francisco Giants subdued the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-5, despite a three-hit effort from Justin Turner on Friday night at Dodger Stadium."

2014
"If they don’t and the free-agent pool doesn’t work for them, one of their own guys—Erisbel Arruebarrena, Miguel Rojas and/or Justin Turner—will have to fill the hole."
