Cubs News
The Cubs are reeling after a disappointing 1-5 loss to the Cardinals, further exposed by a recent 3-4 stretch that leaves them at 32-28 and struggling to gain momentum. With ten players on the injured list, questions are swirling around Jed Hoyer's roster decisions and the potential impact of a trade for ace Tarik Skubal, which could deplete an already thin bench. Meanwhile, nostalgia fills the air as the 2016 World Series champions reunite for a live podcast, a reminder of better days amidst today's challenges. Amidst all this, Ben Brown's emerging two-seamer is one bright spot in a season that has seen more ups and downs than any fan would like.
