Plus, we ask the crazy question—has the division race swung back into play? | 36m 07s | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | Kyle Tucker to Sit Multiple Games — What’s Going On? | After Monday’s loss to the Brewers, Craig Counsell announced Kyle Tucker will sit for “multiple games” to reset.

| 7/29/25 | Will Jed Hoyer Go "All In" at Cubs Trade Deadline? | How do Assad, Wicks, Horton, Brown, and Rea fit into a deadline strategy that will still include adding arms?
