• Penguins Update: Is Kyle Dubas the New Branch Rickey?
After a near four-decade run as one of the most successful franchises in the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates began to slip following World War II.

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1922Max Flack | Bettman Archive One of the most famous deals in all of Cubs history was made in this year. The 1922 Cubs hung around first place early, then a bad June put them 11 games out. They then went 38-20 in July and August and at one point in August had climbed to within 3½ games of first place at 64-49, following a seven-game winning streak. But a 16-25 finish put them in third place....2025Read about Gabby Hartnett news -

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1949Hank Sauer | Getty Images One quite significant deal was made in this calendar year. The Cubs lost 90 games in 1948. It was the first 90-loss season in franchise history. They did make a couple of trades in December ‘48 that we’ll examine in the next installment of this series. Apart from that, there wasn’t much done to try to improve the team, but one of these trades paid dividends for th...2024Read about NL MVP news -

• A look back on Harry SimpsonHave Suitcase, will travel I don’t think there’s much debate that baseball players today are better than they were 50 or 100 years ago. For one thing, MLB is now integrated. It’s truly an international sport. The second thing is players at nearly all levels now play and work out year-round. With AAU and traveling teams, pre-teen ballplayers probably play more games in a summer than I played in the...2024Read about Kansas City Athletics -

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1953Getty Images Another quiet year for Cubs deals. The biggest Cubs news of 1953, though they didn’t know it at the time, was the MLB debut of a skinny, 22-year-old shortstop named Ernie Banks on Sept. 19. Banks would go 0-for-4 in that debut game, which the Cubs lost 16-4. Eventually he’d homer a couple of times that September, beginning a Hall of Fame career. That didn’t help the team, whic...2024Read about Ernie Banks trade rumors -

I know what you're all doing. Counting down a New York slugger to home run immortality. Great! Me too! Pete Alonso (4-for-5, 3 runs, 5 RBIs and his 39th homer) moves to within 34 of tying Barry Bonds. That is so laughably funny. You can have an insane year and still be almost half away from Bonds.
