Cubs Stuff

The Cubs showed last night that they are the most explosive offense in baseball, with a 17-run outburst that featured nine home runs. That set a franchise record for homers in a single game, while also pushing the Cubs to a new NL record with 62 homers in a month [...]

Long gone are the days when a team could call up any number of players from their 40-man roster when the calendar flips to September. But there is still a slight roster expansion for each team to enjoy. On September 1, each big league team can add one pitcher and [...]

CUBS LINEUP — I’m not a superstitious man, but … everybody better be wearing the same underwear as yesterday, sitting in the same spots, drinking the same drinks, and just generally doing everything you can from home to will the Cubs to another big win over the Brewers at Wrigley [...]

It’s September 1, which means teams get two additional roster spots. We already covered the promotion of BJ Murray Jr., and Tyler Ferguson has already been with the big club, so let’s just hand it off to the media release. Before that, a quick note that Javier Assad can’t come [...]

The Seattle Mariners signed veteran left-hander Hoby Milner to a minor-league deal after the Chicago Cubs designated him for assignment over the weekend. [...]

The news isn’t COMPLETELY out of nowhere, I suppose, given the toe-dipping that Arte Moreno had been doing the last few years, but as far as we last knew, the Angels were back off the market. Then, suddenly today, a major news drop: BREAKING: Stan Kroenke is buying the Los Angeles [...]

When the Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman this past offseason, there was obviously a lot of chatter about how much value he can provide an organization off the field, including with young player development. And while I don’t want to overstate things or take away from the extensive work Pete [...]

Every season has its narratives or milestones or memorable moments (both good and bad), but I think it’s fair to say the 2026 Chicago Cubs have been ESPECIALLY insane. And I think it’s even more fair to say the craziest stuff hasn’t even happened yet. After all, we’ve still got [...]

With a multi-month break in the action (thanks to a break in the leg), it was not a lock that Clay Holmes would come back firing on all cylinders when the Cubs acquired him at the Trade Deadline. The recently-reconverted starting pitcher had a pretty darn good year in 2025 [...]

In a month that was highlighted by a plethora of home run records, the Chicago Cubs also got solid pitching production that kept them afloat when the offense went dormant. [...]

The Chicago Cubs have begun September call-ups by promoting BJ Murray, but Javier Assad's time won't come just yet. [...]

Something can at once be (1) fully within the rules, (2) obviously a smart thing to do, and (3) completely and utterly annoying and worthy of scorn. Last night, after they’d just scored a couple runs to make it a seven-run game, the Milwaukee Brewers faced just one batter in [...]

Shelby Miller has been turned heads over the past month during his minor-league rehab assignment, flashing signs of potentially being the swing-and-miss relief [...]

We're rotating through affiliate levels, and this week Triple-A hitters stole the show. [...]

Clay Holmes could have had the worst night of his career and still won on Monday night, but his fourth straight excellent start ensured the Cubs’ nine home runs created a massive rout. After shaking off the rust from a two-month IL stint in his first Cubs start, Holmes has [...]

Tyrone Taylor, Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, Seiya Suzuki, Alex Bregman again, Carson Kelly, Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto, and Alex Bregman again. That was the Cubs hitting nine home runs last night night: The @Cubs absolutely crush 💪All 9 homers from tonight's big win at Wrigley Field! pic.twitter.com/N9iRDD0jKk— MLB (@MLB) September 1, [...]

We're in the final month of the 2026 season, and the Cubs' playoff picture is solidifying. [...]

I am very glad that the Cubs got another dominant outing from Clay Holmes. I am also very glad the Cubs bludgeoned the Brewers with their bats. I am only very slightly wishing that they could break those two parts up and spread them across two games. Just have to do it [...]
