Chicago Cubs

Chicago Cubs

This was the first home run ever hit by an ex-Cubs batter (Tauchman) off an ex-White Sox pitcher (Flexen), or vice-versa, in a matchup of the two Chicago teams.

Emmanuel Clase has been a top closer since 2021, recording 180 saves and a 1.77 ERA, making him highly sought after by teams like the Cubs.

Turnbull enjoyed a strong showing with the 2024 Phillies, pitching to a 2.65 ERA in 54 1/3 innings but missing ample time on the injured list.

Ryne Sandberg is prioritizing time with loved ones as he continues to fight cancer, sharing his journey and determination to maintain positivity and strength.

Garcia has drawn trade interest as the deadline approaches. Texas, sitting below .500, could sell, but remains close to a Wild Card spot.

Cody Bellinger hit three home runs against his former team, contributing to the Yankees' 11-0 victory over the Cubs and extending his hitting streak to 16 games.

"We have good players, so I don't see why we shouldn't be able to play good baseball and stay in this and then get those guys back and maybe be able to add on at the deadline."

The likelihood of Robert being traded barring an injury? Just about 100%. The White Sox don't want him. They don't need him. They know they should have traded him during the winter.

The Cubs are actively seeking rotation upgrades with multiple pitchers sidelined, notably Justin Steele for the season, and have engaged with teams likely to sell.

Given Helsley’s dip in performance this year, the Cardinals may gain more future value by trading him rather than offering a qualifying offer before July 31.
