The Chicago Cubs have been very inconsistent this season. They have had two 10-game winning streaks but also suffered through a 10-game losing streak. They still are over the .500 mark, but sit in fourth place in the National League Central.Their starting rotation needs a little bit of work. Cade Horton is out for the […] The post Cubs Blockbuster Trade Proposal Lands Two Arms from Royals appeared first on HEAVY .
It’s been rough back-to-back homestands for the Chicago Cubs. They went just 2-4 over the six-game set against the Athletics and Giants, which admittedly is better than the sweep they suffered during their homestand against the Brewers and Astros, but better than being swept at home is a pretty low bar. The offense that seemed […]
The Cubs and Rockies will play their entire season series over the next 10 days, three this week at Coors Field and three next week at Wrigley Field. Wait. Didn’t we just say that about the Giants?

It was always clear, from the time the Cubs acquired Ben Brown from the Phillies in 2022 for David Robertson, that he had talent. He’d dominate at a Cubs minor league affiliate, get called up and have some great outings, but then occasionally get hit hard. That was especially true in 2025, when Brown made […]
There is no secret that the Chicago Cubs want to add a pitcher or two ahead of the trade deadline. This is, of course, assuming that the North Siders remain in the playoff hunt. At the moment, Chicago is eight games back in the National League Central race. However, they are just a half-game behind […] The post Cubs Trade Idea Would Land Two Veteran Starting Pitchers appeared first on HEAVY .
In 2021, as baseball returned to a 162-game schedule after the pandemic, many teams, including the Cubs, began to move their night game starting time before 7 p.m. local time. The 7 p.m. (0r 7:05 or 7:10) had been a standard night-game starting time in baseball for at least 30 years before that. The Cubs […]
The St. Louis Cardinals have long had a heated rivalry with the Chicago Cubs, but Nico Hoerner believes the Chicago White Sox are more of a rival to the Cubs than the Cardinals are. Harsh as it may seem, Hoerner is probably correct.
Today’s Reflections When I said I wish there was a way for the Cubs to get healthy enough to force Jameson Taillon from the rotation, this wasn’t what I meant nor the order I wished it came in. But let’s talk about the performance put in by Javier Assad!!! I know an unexpected, lengthy, nearly-perfect […]
The Chicago Cubs went into the 2026 season with high hopes and a deep rotation on paper but injuries have shredded those plans in a hurry.

Nationals lefty DJ Herz tossed two scoreless innings in the Florida Complex League on Friday. It’s the southpaw’s first game action in almost two years, as Herz underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of the 2025 season. It’s the start of what’ll likely be more than a month-long buildup. Acquired from the Cubs as […]
