An interesting potential development for the Chicago Cubs today, as infielder Nicky Lopez apparently just arrived to the Cubs’ facilities at Wrigley Field. Fyi Cub fans:Nicky Lopez just arrived at Wrigley Sorry not great pic.@crawlyscubs @BleacherNation @CubbieBlue2016 pic.twitter.com/U62Jm3LAwa— Sam Bernero (@sambernero) April 23, 2025 You may recall that Lopez, 30, was with the Cubs back in Spring Training before the trip to Japan, but once it was clear he was…

I reckon that, from now through December or January – assuming nothing happens sooner – there’s at least a 50/50 shot that each time Cubs President Jed Hoyer has a microphone in front of his face, he’s gonna be asked about Kyle Tucker. Fair game from where I sit, given how much the Cubs sent out to acquire Tucker, given his standing in the future market, and, oh yeah, given…

After last night’s crazy win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago Cubs are 15-10 on the young season, and still lead baseball with a +42 run differential. The schedule has been a beast, but the Cubs have played with aplomb. And they have made a little history along the way. First, the 10 runs the Cubs scored marked the 7th time they’ve done that already this season. As you…

The quest for possibly useful pitching is never ending, but sometimes it takes you back to places you’ve already been. Old friend Michael Fulmer, who pitched well for the Cubs for most of 2023 until his elbow gave out, is signing a minor league deal to return to the organization: RHP Michael Fulmer has signed a minor league deal and joined the @IowaCubs. Fulmer has pitched in the big leagues…

Even if you count the Tokyo Series as the start of the season, we’re still barely a month into it for the Chicago Cubs. Yet they have somehow filled this single month of baseball with as much wild and crazy action as you might expect from a full year. The latest crazy win – EBS here, highlights here and here – saw the Cubs fall behind immediately, take it all…

Thanks to the nature of last night’s game and the coverage thereafter, I did NOT get a lot of sleep last night. But when it’s an incredible Cubs win, I can’t seem to mind the tiredness … There is so much more coming on that crazy win, but I want to make sure to spotlight Miguel Amaya’s performance, and the particular thrill of the two-out, 9th-inning, game-tying blast in front…

I really hope you didn’t miss any of last night’s game, which was pretty wild from the moment it began. The Cubs went down 3-0 in the first, but responded immediately by batting around in the bottom of the frame. It was off to the races as quickly as a game can be. From there, the Cubs wound up losing a big lead, but then coming back late to tie…

UNREAL. That game was nuts. I’m just so happy it ended like that. A second straight extra-inning game, but this time a win. I’ve got that same buzz as I had for Friday’s game, you know? That crazy Diamondbacks win? That’s the Diamondbacks game I want to remember right at this moment, not Sunday’s extra-innings loss. Come on, Brett! Get ahold of yourself! The Cubs let a big lead slip…

You probably COULD script it better, but man, real life doesn’t get much better than that. The Cubs battled all night with the Dodgers, eventually falling behind by three runs late. But Kyle Tucker didn’t hear no bell: King Tuck makes this a one-run game. pic.twitter.com/C8nW7CILKJ— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 23, 2025 With newly-called-up reliever Gavin Hollowell holding the Dodgers scoreless, the Cubs were down to their final out when…

[Feldco] With a runner on third and just one out, all Pete Crow-Armstrong needed to do was put the ball in play. Just a nudge. Just a tap, tap, tap-a-roo. After a battle with Dustin May, PCA did a lot more than just a tap: May the odds be in Pete’s favor. pic.twitter.com/VE7pmktLyP— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 23, 2025 Obliterated. You *may* have clocked Dustin’s sadness there, as it was…
