While Jed Hoyer has stressed the focus for the Chicago Cubs shouldn't be on the MLB trade deadline, he's also aware of the reality that is the organization runn [...]

The Dodgers are trading left-hander Antoine Kelly to the Cubs, according to multiple reports, including from Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Kelly signed a minor league deal with Los Angeles in November. The 26-year-old Kelly has put together some intriguing minor league seasons, but has yet to earn a crack in [...]

The Cubs rallied in their final at-bat for the second time in three days to grab an extra-innings victory over the Giants at Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon. Two swings of the bat by Pete Crow-Armstrong kept the home team in the game long enough to pull it out in the [...]

The home run ball has been kryptonite for the Cubs‘ pitching staff this season. Entering Saturday’s game against the Giants, they had given up 95 homers, the most in baseball. The only antidote to this problem that they’ve had so far has been Ben Brown. And Brown has proven to be [...]

The chips would have to fall perfectly for the Chicago Cubs to pull off a Freddy Peralta trade with the New York Mets. Here's what it could look like. [...]

Pete Crow-Armstrong is having a day. He’s 4-for-4 with two solo home runs. His first homer tied the game in the 6th inning. His latest bomb came with two outs and the Cubs trailing in the final frame.ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(146); }); Kaboom.

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell is sitting veteran shortstop for 'a couple days' in an attempt to hit the reset button on his wildly disappointing season. [...]

Cubs No. 11 prospect Owen Ayers had a five-RBI performance in Knoxville's extra-innings thriller vs. Birmingham, while Mason McGwire picked up his first-career High-A victory with five solid innings of work in South Bend's victory in its doubleheader nightcap. [...]

The right-hander was supposed to be stretched out to start in the minors, but went just one inning in his last outing. Right-hander Ethan Roberts sent down after Chicago used four relievers and a catcher to pitch Friday. [...]

The only good thing about Friday’s lambasting was that it quickly turned so ugly that we could all laugh about it. After serving up seven home runs, two of which came with Carson Kelly on the mound, the Cubs now lead MLB with 95 homers allowed. For context, the Yankees [...]

CUBS LINEUP — I can’t believe I was actually excited for yesterday’s game. I should have known better, but Thursday night’s comeback had me in a chokehold. Can we please stop losing to bad teams? Please. For the love of god. Ben Brown is on the mound for the Cubs [...]

Javier Assad is back, press release below. The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa.

Jed Hoyer revealed that the Chicago Cubs won't pursue a blockbuster at the trade deadline unless the team starts to find some semblance of consistency. [...]

Yesterday, the Cubs got their butts handed to them by one of the worst teams in baseball. And in so doing, they used a whoooole lot of pitchers. Ethan Roberts threw 29 pitches. Ryan Rolison threw 22 for the second straight day (and has pitched in three straight). Trent Thornton [...]

Alex Bregman’s arrival seemed to signal a more balanced lineup, but Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong have fueled a very different transformation. [...]

Where to begin after that game yesterday? Thursday night it looked like the Cubs may have gotten the kind of win that would push them back in the right direction. Then, by the afternoon on Friday, Carson Kelly was on the mound serving up home runs after a disastrous start from [...]
