• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1960Richie Ashburn bats for the Cubs in 1960 | Photo by Hy Peskin/Getty Images This was not a good year for Cubs deals. In 1959, the Cubs had contended briefly, and finished with 74 wins, their most since 1952 and second-most since 1946. They had the two-time MVP Ernie Banks anchoring a pretty good offense. The first thing the Cubs did in the offseason was fire manager Bob Scheffing. The edict...2024Check it out Ernie Banks rumors -

• Cubs historical sleuthing: The Bob Ramazzotti mysteryThanks to an eBay find, we have a uniform number mystery. Recently, Mike Bojanowski came across this eBay listing for a 1949 Cubs scorecard.

(Mike wound up buying this card.) Just to make it clear, that’s not a photo of Ramazz...2023Check it out Mike Bojanowski injury -
• A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 1984Rick Sutcliffe | Getty Images This was a watershed year for Dallas Green in making deals.
