Peterson, the longest-tenured Met before he was dealt, is not having the year he would have hoped. He had been shuffled between the rotatio...3018Thu, 02 Jul 2026 11:56:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/chicago-cubs-pitchers-of-the-month-june-2026-r3016/The Chicago Cubs pitching staff, to put it gently, is in shambles as June comes to a close. The fact that the team is ten games over .500 with five starters, their closer, the anticipated set-up man, and hordes of others on the injured list is quite remarkable. Even more so, the pitching staff,...3016Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:24:08 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/reviewing-the-chicago-cubs-2025-draft-class-r3013/Drafts are primarily judged on their first-round picks. Finding more than three big-league contributors in a draft is cause for celebration; most classes yield that many or fewer. Thus, if a team doesn’t find value at the top, it faces an uphill climb to be a fruitful draft. The Cubs signed 19 o...3013Wed, 01 Jul 2026 11:58:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/which-cubs-should-go-to-the-all-star-game-r3012/The 2026 MLB All-Star Game is right around the corner. In a couple of weeks, some of the league’s brightest stars will be showing the world the best of their talent at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The Chicago Cubs have had a rollercoaster of a season so far, with a 47-38 record that place...3012Tue, 30 Jun 2026 22:11:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/why-new-cubs-pitching-acquisition-david-peterson-has-some-bounce-back-potential-r3000/The Chicago Cubs needed to shore up their rotation, and managed to do so last week with the acquisition of David Peterson. He wasn’t cheap—it cost them Cole Mathis, a former second-round pick—but with Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera, and Jameson Taillon dealing with different injuries and Cade Horton...3000Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:46:28 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/the-next-few-weeks-should-be-cubs-best-and-maybe-last-chance-to-see-what-kevin-alc%C3%A1ntara-can-do-r3010/If you see Kevin Alcántara on the street today near Wrigley Field, be sure to congratulate him. Monday was his 50th day on an active big-league roster. After coming up at the tail end of 2024 and again for most of last September, Alcántara spent roughly a fortnight with the parent club in late M...3010Tue, 30 Jun 2026 11:27:36 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/sweepier-by-the-day-ryan-rolison-is-becoming-the-linchpin-of-cubs-fragile-pitching-carriage-r3009/Over halfway through the season, the regression monster hasn't yet caught up to Ryan Rolison. In fact, with Caleb Thielbar finally, sadly looking his age and Hoby Milner sidelined by an emergency appendectomy, there's not much doubt that Rolison is now the Cubs' top left-handed reliever. It's le...3009Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:03:01 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/cubs-week-in-review-club-enters-its-disney-movie-era-r3005/Depending on your age, you probably have some level of reverence for Disney sports movies. The feel-good tales, which reached ubiquity in the 1990s and early 2000s, feature scrappy but capable underdogs who inevitably—despite the daunting odds—triumph in the end. None of those fictional clubs ha...3005Mon, 29 Jun 2026 17:09:01 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/whether-or-not-bryse-wilson-is-here-for-a-long-time-sunday-was-a-good-time-for-newest-cub-r3006/The Cubs' 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday in extra innings was a game the visitors didn't deserve to win, but they won it, anyway. No shade to the Brewers, but in many ways, the Cubs managed to out-Brewers them. Chicago was outhit (in terms of actual hits and expected hits) and...3006Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:38:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/the-pete-crow-armstrong-super-streak-is-over-but-some-of-the-improvements-are-permanent-r3004/In a strange way, the most telling plate appearance in the five-plus weeks since Pete Crow-Armstrong got molten-lava hot might have come Sunday afternoon, after the flow had raced down the mountain and begun to cool a bit. Brandon Woodruff struck out Crow-Armstrong in the first inning, but the n...3004Sun, 28 Jun 2026 21:23:05 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/dansby-swanson-cant-afford-for-three-game-hot-streak-against-mets-to-be-a-mirage-r3002/Is Dansby Swanson finally turning his season around? After a tough start to the season, the Chicago Cubs’ starting shortstop enjoyed quite the series against the New York Mets. In the first three games of that set, Swanson went 7-for-12 with four runs scored and 15 runs batted in. What does he n...3002Sun, 28 Jun 2026 14:08:02 +0000https://northsidebaseball.com/chicago-cubs-news/cubs/why-chicago-cubs-targeted-david-peterson-to-patch-their-porous-rotation-r2997/You don't have to squint to see David Peterson's appeal for the Chicago Cubs. Firstly, look at that pulse! You won't find it on the Savant sliders panel, but being a living, breathing pitcher who isn't injured is a tough box to check these days, it seems, and the Cubs found a guy who checks it....2997Fri, 26 Jun 2026 11:57:01 +0000
