Wild Card series should remind Cubs why Adrian Morejon is worth splurging on this offseason (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much of the discussion about how the Chicago Cubs matched up with the San Diego Padres heading into the Wild Card round came down to the Friars' bullpen. Like last year, they once again have one of the best units in baseball that can shorten a game significantly when given a lead. They ended the year top five in ERA and top two in FIP, behind only the Red Sox, and once again employed the highest-profile reliever around in Mason Miller. The depth of their excellence is something to strive for, an
Cubs, Red Sox doubleheader adds another wrinkle to final push for Wild Card seeding (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the Chicago Cubs are a virtual lock to make the playoffs, sitting with a magic number of one, the expectation is that they will need to play out their remaining scheduled to determine seeding in the NL Wild Card. Complicating those matters is the weather forecast in Boston this weekend, and it would seem that Major League Baseball has made a decision. The Boston Globe's Tim Healey reports that the Cubs and Red Sox are planning to play a doubleheader on Friday. It would seem that the hope w

At last, the Chicago Cubs are nearing the end of the rollercoaster. 2026 has not been a smooth ride, to say the least, with high highs that included two ten-game winning streaks and devastating lows, like, well, the ten-game losing streak right after and the many pitching injuries.

While the Chicago Cubs got within striking distance of the division for a split second, any hopes of winning the NL Central have since been dashed. In short order, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled away once again and, after a catastrophic loss on Tuesday night and follow-up effort on Wednesday, the division race is over. The Wild Card remains their only hope in making noise in the postseason, yet Craig Counsell's club's seeding is now more in flux than ever. A recent hot streak from the Philadelphia
Cubs have one roster move staring them in the face that needs to happen immediately (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Wednesday night, with the Chicago Cubs in the middle of a potentially improbable comeback against the Milwaukee Brewers in the ninth, Craig Counsell made the controversial call to go to B.J. Murray Jr. off the bench against Abner Uribe. Since being added to the big-league roster as part of September call-ups, the young utility player has only notched a single hit in ten plate appearances and has looked overmatched by the highest level of pitching thus far. Facing one of baseball's best reliev
