• The Short Porch is looking at ways to improve the Cubs bench at the trade deadline

Vidal Bruján scores a run at Wrigley Field in June | Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Some small moves could make a big difference. The good news is that the Cubs currently have the second-best record in the National League. The bad news is that puts them in second in their own division and in the first Wild Card spot. The Brewers have gone 14-4 this month, including an 11-game winning strea...2025
