    • A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 2015
    Getty Images The team made one key deal that helped them make the postseason. Going into 2015, many Cubs fans were optimistic because of the signing of Joe Maddon to manage, and then Jon Lester to pitch. The optimism proved to be true with a 97-win wild card season and an NLCS appearance. January 14: Acquired Lars Huijer from the Mariners for Mike Kickham I swear, I am not making up these ...2024

    • A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 2014
    Photo by Patrick Gorski/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Almost time to get back into contention. The Cubs started this year terribly on the field. They were 13-27 on May 16, already 13 games out of first place and their season essentially over. So they sold off again at the deadline, and wound up going 60-62 the rest of the year, and 28-27 after August 1, perhaps presaging their excellent...2024

    • In appreciation of David Ross
    Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images The now ex-Cub manager is an important person in Cubs history. By now, you have heard the news that David Ross has been let go as Cubs manager and replaced by Craig Counsell, the former manager of the Brewers. Counsell received a five-year deal for a reported $40 million, so it’ll be a while before we have another Cubs manager, presumably. There will be...2023

    • Today in Cubs history: The loudest Wrigley Field has ever been
    Photo by Patrick Gorski/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Miguel Montero’s grand slam set the tone for the rest of the NLCS. EDITOR’S NOTE: This originally ran here four years ago; as another anniversary of this game passes, I thought you’d enjoy reading it again. (Lightly edited) Some might disagree with me, but I will stand by my contention that Wrigley Field was never louder than it was...2023

In so doing they hit six home runs: Two each by Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos and one by Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh. In so doing, the Phillies tied a postseason record that was set by the Cubs in Game 3 of...2023

    Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images It had been 12 years since the Cubs won a division series game. The Cubs lost three straight division series games to the Diamondbacks in 2007 and three more to the Dodgers in 2008. But in St. Louis, eight years ago today, Saturday, October 10, 2015, a young Cubs club broke that division series losing streak, against the team’s biggest rival. I was at this game...2023

    Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images And other probably unanswerable questions. If I had told you, before Wednesday’s game, that the Cubs would score seven runs off Pirates righthander Mitch Keller — who held them scoreless last month in Pittsburgh — you’d probably have been pretty happy. Welp. That didn’t work out too well, did it. Justin Steele was charged with almost as many runs — six — ...2023

  • • In appreciation of Willson Contreras
    David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs catcher moves on, but we remember him fondly. Willson Contreras, as you know, declined the Cubs’ qualifying offer Tuesday and so will likely be moving to another team as a free agent. I actually wrote this article last summer when it appeared Willson would be traded. When he wasn’t, I decided to save it for the time, if it came, when it looked like his...2022
