Cubs Stuff

Well THAT is not the typical structure for a Chicago Cubs win of late! Whew. I wanted to believe, but boy did I not see it coming. That is to say, it’s VERY MUCH the type of win we’ve been needing to see. The offense is not going to carry [...]

Hayden Wesneski is finding success with the Houston Astros, offering the Chicago Cubs another reminder of the price they paid for Kyle Tucker. [...]

Pete Crow-Armstrong has been a monster this year MOST of the time. One area where he hasn’t quite put up the same monster numbers? Against the Brewers. He did a little something to change that tonight: For those keeping count, that's HR No. 39 for PCA. pic.twitter.com/dufDBs7BQC— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) September [...]

The Cubs have found a valuable young contributor in Pedro Ramírez. For 2026, however, finding him a spot in the postseason lineup may be easier said than done. [...]

Edward Cabrera is a nearing a return to the Chicago Cubs pitching staff, and preparing for his new role out of the bullpen. [...]

I never blame anybody for being optimistic, but this was always the overwhelmingly likely outcome after last week’s setback. According to Taylor McGregor (and others), Ben Brown will be out for the remainder of the season with his neck injury. Bummer. Ben Brown Out for Season In case you forgot, we [...]

CUBS LINEUP — Even though we all need to turn our attention away from catching the Brewers in the NL Central (it ain’t happening), this is still an important game. Indeed, every game from here on out is an important game given that the Cubs are one game behind the [...]

Cubs right-hander Ben Brown has been out for a few months due to a stress reaction in his neck. Today, manager Craig Counsell informed reporters that Brown won’t be able to make it back in the remainder of the season. Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network was among those to [...]

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell has confirmed that Ben Brown will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 season. [...]

In what came more as confirmation than revelation, the Cubs announced Thursday that Ben Brown will not return this season. He had been symptom-free and was nearing a rehab assignment when he experienced recurring neck pain following an outing at the team’s Mesa complex. Brown returned with the team after [...]

After blowing the Brewers’ doors off in the series opener, the Cubs dropped the next two games to put themselves in quite a hole. They must win tonight just to split the series and keep the division lead from reaching double digits. What’s more, they can’t afford to lose any [...]

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton grew up a Brewers fan in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, about an hour and a half from American Family Field, but that all changed in 2025 after he and his team knocked the Milwaukee Bucks out of the playoffs for the second straight year. The Iowa State product, [...]

Although the disproportionately strong performance this year by Chicago Cubs positional prospects, relative to pitching prospects, is mostly the product of a farm system heavily-weighted in that direction, it turns out that the overall offensive environment probably has something to do with it, too. Thanks to J.J. Cooper at Baseball [...]

I don’t ever remember hearing a word about macros when I was younger, let alone having access to all manner of supplements like we do today. Outside of being presented with the food pyramid and understanding that vegetables should be part of dinner, we just ate whatever was available. We’re [...]

From the first time the Chicago baseball team once known as the White Stockings took the field in 1876 to now, there’s only been one Pete Crow-Armstrong. Whether you’re here because you’re a Cubs fan or because you are hate-reading, you’ve certainly come across myriad pieces telling of PCA brilliance. [...]

August marks the final full month of minor league baseball. Which hitters went out and made the strongest impressions in the Cubs' farm system? [...]

It was actually impressively difficult to have a better month in August than Alex Bregman. The guy has been a monster since the All-Star break, and there’s a world in which he is the obvious NL Player of the Month. But, in a reality that I’m sure does not cause Bregman [...]

The Chicago Cubs are running out of options in Craig Counsell's circle of trust in the bullpen while the playoffs loom. [...]
