The Cubs have taken the first two games of their series in Baltimore, which is just as everyone had planned it. Seriously, they’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. Today’s game, however, will not go according to the original plan because inclement weather in the forecast pushed the start time up five hours. It’s …

Though it’s been evident for many years now, the lack of high-end pitching in the Cubs organization has become painfully obvious in the wake of their myriad injuries this season. A general philosophy of investing more heavily in bats, all the way from the Draft to free agency, has left the system relatively barren at …
With three games left before the break, the Cubs hold the top Wild Card spot and boast a 3.5-game lead over the Cardinals when it comes to playoff position. Jameson Taillon will be back soon, Edward Cabrera should return at some point in the second half, and Ben Brown remains hopeful that his neck issue …
Since climbing out of the nadir in early June that saw them dip below 40% playoff odds, the Cubs have pretty much been on cruise control. They’ve gotten as high as 78.5% and as low as 67.4% over the last two weeks, putting them firmly in the low 70s for the most part. That’s the …

I’m currently in Nashville for a baseball tournament, and the only good thing about the extended weekend has been learning that former Cubs pitching prospect Max Bain just became a father for the first time. Max is a truly exceptional human being who’s found his calling as a pitching development guru, and I’m very happy …
First baseman Myles Bailey was a top 150 draft prospect coming out of high school in 2024, and the White Sox took him in the 20th round. He opted to honor his commitment to Florida State, where he routinely mashed baseballs. The South Side’s loss is the North Side’s gain, as the Cubs now have …
With their fourth pick in the 2026 Draft, the Cubs took big righty Carson Jasa out of Nebraska. He took a big step forward as the Huskers’ ace this season, but his mid-90s fastball needs some work to get outs in the professional ranks. We’ll have a more thorough breakdown of the day’s picks later.
The first four rounds of the 2026 MLB Draft took place on Saturday, and the Cubs had five picks — one in each round and a compensation pick in the second round for losing Kyle Tucker after extending him a qualifying offer. Those picks were Nos. 23, 62, 75, 98, and 126, with three of …
The first half of the season, which is really the first 60% of the season, will come to an end this afternoon in Cincinnati. Matthew Boyd is on the bump for the Cubs, making just his ninth start of the season due to a pair of IL stints that may end up serving him well …
After drafting three college pitchers out of their first five picks in rounds 1-4, the Cubs continued the trend with 13 more arms over the final 16 rounds of the Draft. Only one of them, righty Dylan Blomker in the fifth round, was a high schooler. Blomker was their first selection of the draft’s second …
