Cubs News
After a frustrating May that saw the Cubs finish 13-16, the team is looking to turn the corner as they gear up for a new month. With a recent loss to the Cardinals in which Jordan Wicks lasted just 2.2 innings, the pressure is on key players like Dansby Swanson, who’s feeling the heat as he struggles at the plate. Meanwhile, a minor league rehab assignment for Matthew Boyd provides a glimmer of hope, though the Iowa Cubs fell 8-1 to Indianapolis. The reality is the Cubs are desperate for some of their big names to step up as the calendar flips to June. As fans wait for the offense to catch fire, the Cubs' front office must reflect on offseason moves that could have made a difference by now.
