Maria Chavez+FollowCounsell’s Bullpen Gamble Exposes Cubs’ FlawsWow, Cubs fans—did Sunday’s loss to the Astros feel like a wake-up call or what? Craig Counsell stuck with Taillon a bit too long, and Altuve made us pay. But honestly, this wasn’t just about one call; it was a loud message to the front office: our bullpen and bench just aren’t deep enough for a real playoff run. With the Cards and Brewers breathing down our necks, it’s time for Jed Hoyer to get aggressive at the deadline. Thoughts on what moves we need most? #Cubs #MLBTradeDeadline #CraigCounsell #Sports #Baseball00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowCubs’ $600M Gamble: Tucker Staying Put?Big news for Cubbies fans: it looks like the Bronx Bombers are out of the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes. According to Chris Kirschner, the Yankees—who haven’t landed a big-name position player in ages—aren’t expected to chase Tucker in free agency. With the Dodgers hesitant to spend big and the Mets tied up with Soto, Chicago might have a clear path to lock down their new cornerstone. Could this rivalry with the Yankees be cooling off for good? #Cubs #KyleTucker #MLBHotStove #Sports #Baseball40Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowDid the Cubs Give Up Too Much for Tucker?Astros fans, how sweet was Cam Smith’s revenge game? The rookie phenom, once a top Cubs prospect, went 2-for-2 with a walk and a massive three-run homer, powering Houston past Chicago. While King Kyle Tucker is raking for the Cubs, Smith’s breakout stings even more as the Cubs’ division lead slips. Did Jed Hoyer pull the trigger too soon on this blockbuster? With Smith shining and Matt Shaw struggling, this trade is looking rough for the North Siders right now. #Astros #Cubs #MLB #Sports #Baseball11Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowCubs Eye Cy Young Ace: Alcantara Heating UpFellow Cubs fans, big news on the pitching front! With Justin Steele and Javier Assad likely out, the North Siders are eyeing a major rotation boost. Word is, the Marlins’ ace Sandy Alcantara—remember his Cy Young form?—is back to dealing, dropping a 2.74 ERA in June. Ken Rosenthal says Miami’s more likely to trade him now, and the Cubs are in the mix. Could Alcantara be the answer to our rotation woes? Let’s talk! #Cubs #SandyAlcantara #MLBTradeRumors #Sports #Baseball00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowPalencia vs. Contreras: Rivalry Heats UpThe Cubs-Cardinals rivalry hit another level last night when Daniel Palencia and Willson Contreras had a fiery exchange after a tense ninth inning. Palencia, who nailed down his eighth save, said the heated moment was just part of the game, especially after accidentally plunking Contreras. Despite the drama, Palencia showed respect for Contreras, calling him an inspiration. Classic Cards-Cubs fireworks! What did you think of the exchange? #Cubs #Cardinals #MLB #Sports #Baseball00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowTucker’s Future: Will the Cubs Keep Their Star?Big news out of Wrigley: Kyle “Tuck” Tucker just dropped some hints about his free agency, and it’s got Cubs Nation buzzing. He’s crushing it this season—batting .287 with 16 homers and a 167 OPS+—but he admits there’s “some other stuff” to consider before committing long-term. With the Cubs leading the division, losing Tuck would sting, especially if a World Series run falls short. What do you think—will the fan love be enough to keep him in Chicago? #Cubs #KyleTucker #MLB #Sports #Baseball10Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowCould the Cubs Nab Mitch Keller from the Bucs?Big news brewing in the NL Central! Word is the Cubs are eyeing Pirates’ ace Mitch Keller—yes, the $77M All-Star—at the trade deadline. With the Bucs looking to shed payroll and the Cubs desperate for a rotation boost, this could be a game-changer. Imagine Keller’s stuff backed by Chicago’s defense! Could this move help the North Siders lock up the division and finally get back to October baseball? #Cubs #Pirates #MLBTradeRumors #Sports #Baseball00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowHapp’s Rally Cry: Cubs Fans, Don’t Panic!Ian Happ, the Wrigley Warrior, just dropped a message for Cubs Nation: stay calm and keep the faith! Despite a rough 5-5 stretch and the Brew Crew and Cards nipping at our heels, Happ says there’s no panic in the clubhouse. He’s still raking at the plate, and with his steady bat, the North Siders are confident they’ll hold the NL Central lead. Do you think the Cubs can fend off their rivals down the stretch? Let’s hear your takes! #Cubs #WrigleyField #MLB #Sports #Baseball10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowCubs Prospect Hit with 60-Game BanTough break for the North Siders as their new arm, Anhuar Garcia, just got slapped with a 60-game suspension for PEDs. The young righty, who joined the Cubs with some strikeout promise, tested positive for Methenolone. This marks the seventh such suspension in the minors this year. While Garcia’s ERA wasn’t sparkling, his K-rate turned some heads. Here’s hoping this is just a bump in the road for the kid and the Cubbies’ farm system. #Cubs #MLB #PEDs #Sports #Baseball10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowCould Bregman Bolt Beantown for Wrigley?Rumors are heating up that the Red Sox might ship superstar Alex “A-Breg” Bregman to the Cubs if Boston falls out of the Wild Card race. With Bregman’s monster contract and opt-out looming, the Sox could cash in now, especially since he’s been mashing at career-best power numbers. For the Cubs, plugging Bregman in at third could be the game-changer they need for a playoff push, but would they risk stunting rookie Matt Shaw’s growth? This trade could shake up both teams’ futures. #RedSox #Cubs #MLBTradeRumors #Sports #Baseball00Share
