Latest news and updates about the Cubs
This was a game that the San Diego Padres could have easily won. The lineup put 11 runners in scoring position against the Chicago Cubs and only managed to convert two of them into runs. Because of that, Chicago was able to walk off the Friars, becoming the first, and only, team to do so […]

Last night’s game at Wrigley Field had an air of playoff baseball from the early innings. Perhaps it was a throwback to the last time the San Diego Padres played at Wrigley Field during the Wild Card round in 2025. Or maybe it was that both the Cubs and the Padres find themselves squarely in […]
I had an oh-duh moment while watching this one play out. I have to go back down the rabbit hole, because I don’t see anyone keeping the full total. I know this is 10 walk-offs. I’m pretty certain the number is three for road wins in their last at bat. But I don’t recall if […]
Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns. With the team coming off an embarrassing series against the Chicago Cubs and officially falling into the depths of the wild […]
It’s probably indicative of how badly the San Diego Padres missed infielder Jake Cronenworth that after being on the seven-day concussion list since May 5, Cronenworth got three rehab games before the team activated him before their first contest against the Cubs in Chicago. When he was placed on the injured list, Cronenworth had already […]
Jase Bowen was the hero of the game for the San Diego Padres in their series opening game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday night – until he wasn’t. Bowen made a catch in shallow left field on a fly ball by Michael Busch with no outs and the bases loaded. After […]
The Cubs began a six-game homestand on a sultry, humid Monday at Wrigley Field coming off a very successful 6-1 road trip. And then the bats fell mostly silent and you could have been forgiven if you thought, “Here we go again.” In the end, though, the Cubs got solid pitching from Shōta Imanaga and […]
Today’s Reflections A win by a guy that the New York Mets couldn’t wait to get rid of. A bullpen game. A bullpen win. Against the Brewers. In extra innings! Yes, the bats were present: Two big games by Seiya Suzuki and Nico Hoerner. A big blast by Ian Happ. Walks were huge – by […]
The Chicago Cubs certainly did not sign Alex Bregman to a 5-year, $175 million deal with his current version in mind. This season, Bregman has been subpar at best. With the Cubs already dealing with inconsistencies, the team needs Bregman’s bat. However, on Sunday, he appeared to lack intent when running the basepaths. As the […] The post Alex Bregman Opens Up on Health Concerns After Cubs Broadcasters Lash Out Over Lackluster Efforts appeared first on EssentiallySports .

The Chicago Cubs have a desperate need for starting pitching, a stellar farm system to address it, and a clear target in New York Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta. MLB insider Jon Heyman recently put Peralta back in the conversation, drawing a parallel between him and Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara as the dependable, innings-eating playoff starter contenders covet. "Very dependable guys. Always answer the bell," Heyman said. "Alcantara and Peralta are not having their best seasons, but they are...

With the trade deadline just over a month away, the playoff chase is as wide-open as it's ever been.
The Padres’ journey this year has been somewhat similar to the Cubs’. On May 23, they defeated the A’s and were 31-20, in second place in the NL West, just half a game behind the Dodgers. Since then, they’re 12-19, the worst record in MLB. They have played a bit better recently, winning four straight […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have a bullpen problem. Aside from Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe, and Trevor Megill, it seems as if all of their other relief pitchers are wildly inconsistent. This was more than evident over the weekend as the Brewers dropped two out of three to the Chicago Cubs in the latest edition of their [...]
The New York Mets have been a disaster of historically expensive proportions in 2026, and at least one member of the ESPN broadcast booth wants a crack at cleaning it up. David Ross, who returned to the network this spring as a game analyst and studio contributor after being dismissed as Chicago Cubs manager following…
