• The best holiday in February

February is filled with somewhat sketchy holidays. I'll start with Groundhog Day, which is about good for rewatching a movie. Valentine's Day is often derided as a "Hallmark Holiday." The weeklong "Winter Break" mostly recognized by schools, morphed from single days recognizing presidents into a 5-day celebration of ... um ... winter, I guess?

Salvador Perez (C-KC) hit just .236 with 30 HR, 100 RBI, and 54 R across 641 PA in 2025, but his wRC+ came in at a subpar 96. Surprisingly, that was somehow just the second time the vet hit 30 or more HR in a season as he regularly sits in the 20s. Although Father Time will eventually come for Perez, his low average in 2025 seems to be more a product of poor luck than anything else as his BABIP wa...2026

• Cubs 4, Yankees 1: Shōta Imanaga leads the way

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images The Cubs homered twice and won the series from the Yankees. After a blowout loss Friday, the Cubs really needed to get back on track and take a pair from the Yankees, and that’s exactly what they did, finishing up with a solid 4-1 victory Sunday behind outstanding pitching from Shōta Imanaga and home runs by Michael Busch and Dansby Swanson.

Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images The Cubs welcomed fans back to Wrigley Field with a win. Friday’s home Cubs opener at Wrigley Field was typical of so many over the years: Cloudy, wind blowing off the lake, temperature in the mid-40s. The capacity house of 40,244 was there to be entertained and to see a win, and they certainly got both. Shōta Imanaga, perhaps the most popular current C...2025

• The Cubs need a bullpen fix — and fast

Photo by Masterpress/Getty Images Sunday’s meltdown was one of the worst in recent memory. As a refresher, one of the things that torpedoed — to use a current baseball-related word — the Cubs’ 2024 season was some awful bullpen work over the first couple of months. These are the pitchers who were in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen in 2024: Yency Almonte, Adbert Alzolay, Jose Cuas, Mark Leite...2025

Allan Henry-Imagn Images I thought we had left these in 2024. This was supposed to be a happy recap, highlighted by Kyle Tucker’s three-run homer in the eighth inning that gave the Cubs a four-run lead. Tucker has hit very well in the early going, so far he’s been worth the haul that was sent to the Astros for him. The other thing Jed Hoyer & Co. supposedly did this winter was address the ...2025

• Cubs 4, Diamondbacks 3: You keep me hangin’ on

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The Cubs had another shaky ninth inning, but a great play by Dansby Swanson nailed down the win. I’m gonna make a little teeny tiny suggestion here. Maybe it’s not such a great idea for the Cubs to keep signing former Astros relief pitchers. We went through a roller-coaster ride with Hector Neris last year until he was let go, and the Ryan Pressly Era hasn’t begun...2025

Matthew Boyd’s first career All-Star selection did not result in him playing in the game, mostly because the Cubs wanted him to rest for games exactly like this one.

It was another unseasonably chilly night at Wrigley Field Wednesday, with temperatures hovering in the mid-50s and the wind, again, blowing in.

The Cubs had a bullpen meltdown in Monday’s game against the Padres at Petco Park, and so two bullpen moves were made before Tuesday’s game. Unfortunately, it was those two relievers, Daniel Palencia and Luke Little, who had bad performances on Wednesday. The two runs (one each) that Palencia and Little allowed were the differ...2025
