Cubs News
After a jaw-dropping 23-3 victory over the Padres, the Cubs are officially on fire, boasting a scorching 6-1 record over the last week and a remarkable run differential of +27. The offense is teeming with talent, especially with Pete Crow-Armstrong leading the charge, proving he can shine both at the plate and in the field. Meanwhile, the minor leagues continue to churn out talent, with Hayden Cantrelle moving up to Triple-A Iowa, a sign that the Cubs' future is bright. With fans circling the name Joe Ryan as a potential trade target, the front office is under pressure to bolster the roster further. Despite the chatter around former closer Adbert Alzolay, the Cubs should resist the temptation for a reunion, as they remain focused on building a sustainable bullpen. It's clear the Cubs are not just looking to win now, they’re also laying the foundation for success down the road.
