• Cubs roster moves: Ballesteros, Hollowell optioned, Castro, Kittredge, Soroka added

Photo by Kylie Bridenhagen/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Cubs made a flurry of roster moves before Friday’s game. The Cubs acquired four new players by trade before Thursday’s deadline: Willi Castro, Taylor Rogers, Andrew Kittredge and Michael Soroka. This is a bit confusing and I’ll try to make clear all the roster moves, both 40-man and 26-man, here. Kittredge and Soroka were added to ...2025

• Cubs’ Reported Refusal to Move Moises Ballesteros Holding up Trade Talks
According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, the Cubs are declining to part with No. 2 prospect Moisés Ballesteros in trade talks. That is keeping some of their would-be moves from coming to fruition, which is interesting given his lack of positional flexibility. Of all the Cubs’ top prospects, Ballesteros seems to me like one they’d be … The post Cubs’ Reported Refusal to M...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
