    The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone — and the Chicago Cubs made some moves… but was it enough?
    In this live reaction episode of Bricks Behind the Ivy, Jeff (@CandidCubs) breaks down what the Cubs did, what they didn’t do, and whether Jed Hoyer’s strategy puts this team in position to make a serious playoff push.
    💬 Did the Cubs do enough at the deadline? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

    Alex Cohen of Marquee Network and the Iowa Cubs joins Bricks Behind the Ivy for a “State of the Union” on the Chicago Cubs. From key storylines in Triple-A to what’s next for the big-league club, we cover it all — prospects, pitching depth, trade deadline outlook, and the importance of July baseball.
    We also go behind the mic with Alex to hear how broadcasting in Des Moines gives him a front-row seat to the Cubs’ future — and why he believes in what’s ahead at Wrigley Field.

    The Chicago Cubs maintained their winning ways with some decent home cooking versus the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers at the beautiful and historic Wrigley Field. If the Cubs keeping winning, maybe tickets to Wrigley Field will become harder to get again!
    Harry Caray toasts one of the all time 2016 World Series team's great players, Javier Baez, as he finally returned since departing via a trade to the New York Mets in 2021. 
    When watching a Cubs game, it has become very hard to ignore the strike zone given to Seiya Suzuki versus other players. Why is Seiya Suzuki's strike zone different than for others? To help answer that question, Matt Trueblood of North Side Baseball and Baseball Prospectus joins us this week to discuss a recent article and deep dive he did to figure out if his zone truly is different and where it is different. The results may surprise you!

After the Anthony Rizzo Highlights left our heads and we calmed from an emotional return, we ask: Is Anthony Rizzo to be remembered as an all-time great Chicago Cub?
    After missing a week due to roofers falling through the ceiling, Bricks Behind the Ivy, a Chicago Cubs YouTube Podcast and audio podcast, returns to give you the Chicago Cubs highlights from the last two weeks, including a Box Score Blitz of 90 seconds ending with the Chicago Cubs vs Dodgers series. 
    Bricks Behind the Ivy is a Chicago Cubs Podcast for Cub fans, BY Cub fans. Join us each Friday as we break down the team and the game, leaving you feel better than a Wrigley Field Home Run.

    The Trade Deadline came and went and we still stand. The team is different and one of baseball's best smiles (Christopher Morel) has gone to crush home runs in Tampa Bay. But how did we do? Was this enough to help 2025?
    Join us this week as Evan Altman of Cubs Insider talks with us the positives and opportunities missed from the 2024 deadline. The good news is the boys are hot with our first every named Pitcher and Player of the Week.
