• Cubs historical sleuthing: Early Ron Santo editionThis was fun to do — and required matching some other photos to this one. Here is what we know about this photo at first glance: Ron Santo is batting at Wrigley Field The Cubs are playing the Mets (logo on the catcher’s sleeve) The Mets pitcher has a number that begins with 3 It’s cloudy (no shadows) There’s very likely a pretty small crowd (only one fan visible, lots of empty seats) So, this co...2024Read about Wrigley Field rumors -
• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1932Mark Koenig at Wrigley Field in 1933 | Photo by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images It was a Cubs pennant year, with a couple of key acquisitions. The Cubs returned to the World Series in 1932, winning the NL pennant by four games. In second place for much of the season early, it took a 22-6 August — which included a 14-game winning streak and a 19-2 run — to secure the title. Unfortunate...2024Read about Wrigley Field news and rumors -
• Here are three interesting things about the Kyle Tucker tradePhoto by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images Some notes on how unusual this trade is, plus some numbers. I think it’s reasonable to say that most Cubs fans are excited about Friday’s trade that brought Kyle Tucker to the Cubs. Even if Tucker does leave via free agency after one season, the addition of a hitter of his caliber gives the Cubs an excellent chance to win the NL Central...2024Continue with Kyle Tucker headline news

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1934Larry French at spring training for the Cubs on Catalina Island | Getty Images Some important trades happened this year, but not until after the season. The Cubs, after their 1932 pennant, finished third, six games out of first place in 1933. Hopes were high after they spent much of April and May 1934 in first place, but a slow fade was capped by a 12-14 September, and another third-place ...2024See more articles Gabby Hartnett injuries -

• 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...2024See more Ernie Banks injury update -

• Guardians 6, Cubs 1: Swept outta ClevelandPhoto by Jason Miller/Getty Images This was not the result the Cubs wanted at Progressive Field. In a week where the Cubs had hoped to show they belonged in the NL wild card race, instead they blew a lead and tried to come back in one game, and then the offense disappeared for the rest of the series. The 6-1 loss Wednesday, resulting in a sweep by the Guardians, was thus a microcosm of the...2024Read about Jameson Taillon -
• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1964 edition
Once again, this photo is not from the year the site I found it said it was. I found this photo on a closed eBay auction page with the title “BASEBALL CHICAGO CUBS WRIGLEY FIELD VIEW TOWARD CENTER FIELD ISSUED CIRCA 1955.” That’s not even close to the right date and I don’t even have to look at the matchups to tell you that it’s not 1955.
