Cubs may already need to shift focus to offseason after history delivers brutal Wild Card truth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Chicago Cubs are on the precipice of disaster after just one postseason game. After Matthew Boyd led off Game 1 of the Wild Card Series in San Diego by allowing back-to-back homers to Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, the Cubs already have their backs against the wall and are facing elimination. While the Cubs and Kevin Gausman gear up for what could be their last stand, however, fans should be braced for what appears to be inevitable: an early start to the offseason. Being one game from
Cubs have troubling Daniel Palencia red flag that makes bullpen turnaround harder to trust (opens the original)

While the Chicago Cubs' ticket to the playoffs is all but punched at this point, though a tough September has left some fans panicking. FanGraphs places their odds of missing the postseason entirely at something approaching a rounding error at this point, but whether or not this team is built for a deep run in October is another question entirely.

The same is not true, however, for the front office. President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer and his team are surely already hard at work preparing for the upcoming
3 aging Cubs prospects approaching last chance to make roster as September call-ups loom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recent painful series losses aside, the Chicago Cubs are wrapping up the month of August in strong position to make it to the postseason. September will be their final opportunity to try and catch the Brewers for the NL Central crown, but it also represents an opportunity for some of the lesser-known players in the organization as rosters expand. No longer can teams bring up their entire 40-man roster for the stretch run as they were allowed to do in the past, but an extra pitcher and an extra h
