Suddenly, Pete Crow-Armstrong may have a clear path to chasing down Shohei Ohtani in the National League MVP race. [...]

CUBS LINEUP — A frustrating missed opportunity on Monday turned into a blowout win on Tuesday. Now, let’s see if the Cubs can finish off yet another series win at Wrigley Field as the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline approaches. Colin Rea is on the mound for Chicago, and he’s going [...]

With his pinch-hit home run last night, Michael Conforto tied the Chicago Cubs season-long record for pinch-hit homers, held by outfielder Glenallen Hill in 1999. The game was just the Cubs’ 101st of the season, so Conforto has a good long bit of runway to stand alone in the franchise [...]

Cubs Starting Pitcher Trade Targets — Let’s do it. The Cubs have kicked off the second half of the season by winning three of their first five games, bringing them to 13 games over .500 with 12 days to go before the trade deadline. On the bright side, they have [...]

The Chicago Cubs have brought in some outfield depth at Triple-A Iowa, signing Greg Jones to a minor league deal, per the transaction register. Jones, 28, was primarily with the Brewers at Triple-A this year (hitting .289/.423/.380/126 wRC+), though he did get a couple brief call-ups for some fill-in duty. [...]

The Chicago Cubs avoided a serious injury for Trent Thornton while confirming Phil Maton's status and waiting for Matt Shaw's return. [...]

I have to start with that catch. It has all the hallmarks of an incredible Pete Crow-Armstrong catch. An obvious hit off the bat? Check. An unreal jump, route, and speed to the precise spot the ball is landing? Check. More ground covered than you could reasonably expect a player [...]

His name isn't flashy like Tarik Skubal, but Wacha could be exactly what the Cubs need down the stretch. [...]

After acquiring Nate Pearson, the Kansas City Royals may be inching closer to trading pitchers such as Michael Wacha or Seth Lugo ahead of the deadline. [...]

It’s not that I forget that David Peterson is in the Chicago Cubs’ rotation right now, but the combination of the extreme swirl of injuries (who is departing), the timelines for recoveries (who is returning), and hoped-for moves at the Trade Deadline (who is coming), have meant that my eyes [...]

It was a fun night in the Cubs minor league system with some outstanding individual performances to go along with a 3-1 record on Tuesday. In Iowa, Owen Miller remained red hot, and Owen Ayers contributed without picking up a hit. Elsewhere, Alex Ramírez was the hero in Knoxville, while [...]

Michael Conforto has been a success story for the Chicago Cubs, but that won't alter their trade deadline plans. [...]

Postseason baseball is often decided by small moments. Nico Hoerner’s elite contact skills, defense and baserunning could give the Cubs an edge when it matters most. [...]

Lotta bullets started accumulating on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s night and recent stretch and bat and glove and all that, and I realized I needed to break that off. So much more on PCA coming later … This is quietly very hard to pull off, timing your slide just right to ensure you [...]

Cubs pitcher David Peterson took a shutout into the seventh against the Tigers, and his success offers an important reminder heading into the trade deadline. [...]

No extra-innings disappointment in this one, as the Cubs thumped the Tigers right out of the gate in last night’s 11-2 win. Enjoy the highlights if you missed the game or tuned in after the drubbing began: [...]

The Cubs' fifth outfielder knows he's not even on one of the teams most in need of a fifth outfielder. That hasn't stopped him from working diligently, every day, so that when a moment comes when they do need him, he's ready. [...]

The Cubs recovered nicely from a frustrating loss to the Tigers on Monday night with a dominating win in the second game of the series. The home squad jumped all over opposing starter Framber Valdez, knocking him out of the game with six runs in the opening frame. Pete Crow-Armstrong got [...]

Pitching figures to be the focus for the Chicago Cubs at the 2026 MLB trade deadline, and their needs are obvious. [...]
