Cubs Insider

News broke late last night or early this morning about the Cubs’ acquisition of lefty David Peterson from the Mets, and the club has now officially announced the deal. The 30-year-old has spent his entire professional career with the Mets, who selected him out of Oregon with the 20th overall pick in the 2017 MLB …

Ben Brown was recently placed on the IL with what the Cubs initially called a neck strain, immediately conjuring thoughts of the issue that shut him down in 2024. That was a stress reaction related to a benign growth called an osteoma, which is essentially a bone growing off another bone. The osteoma causes radiating …

We could say the Mets are the cure for what was ailing the Cubs, but the offensive explosion in Queens actually started over a week ago. The Cubs have put up at least six runs in each of their last six games and have put up a total of 59 in that span. That has …

The Cubs (43-37) are on a bit of a streak right now after sweeping the lousy Mets in four games at Citi Field. They have gone 10-3 in their last 13 games despite enduring what can only be described as a biblical plague — which should not be confused with biblical losses — of pitching …

The Cubs completed a four-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field Thursday night. This was a much closer contest that required extra innings before the road squad emerged victorious in the 10th inning, but the end result was the same as every other game between these two teams this season. Matthew Boyd made his …

Winning four in a row and 10 of 13 has a way of turning things around just a wee bit, especially when most of the other teams in the division aren’t playing as well. Though the Brewers remain way out front with no signs of slowing, the Pirates and Cardinals have sputtered over the last …

The Cubs just swept the Mets over four games in three days and have somehow won 10 of their last 13 games to regain their footing. Trouble is, the Brewers have also won four straight and have their top three starters lined up against a Chicago rotation that will feature Coline Rea and two unknowns. …

The Cubs faced a difficult task, taking on ace Jacob Misiorowski and the Brewers at American Family Field Friday night. The road team held onto a narrow lead in the middle innings, but the bullpen gave it up and the home squad emerged victorious. Colin Rea kept Milwaukee off the scoreboard through the first five …

Last night’s game started out okay before finishing like a wet fart, and I’m tied up with other baseball obligations. As such, we’re going bare bones on this breakdown. Lefty David Peterson will make his Cubs debut after switching sides a few days ago in Queens, so we’ll see if his game improves with a …

The Cubs have placed reliever Hoby Milner on the IL with appendicitis, which was probably caused by pitching way too often. Okay, not really, but he sure had been run out there a lot. To fill his spot in the bullpen, Tyler Ferguson has been recalled.
