Catherine Reeves+FollowWhy the Cubs are playing the free agency waiting gameChicago Cubs fans have watched other teams spend big this offseason, but the front office is taking a different approach. GM Carter Hawkins says the Cubs are holding back while the market is hot, believing early signings come with inflated prices. Instead of jumping in, they’re waiting for things to cool down and for better deals to emerge. While it’s tough to see rivals land stars, this patient strategy could pay off in the long run. What do you think—should the Cubs be more aggressive, or is patience the right move? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs32Share
jillian59+FollowDansby Swanson brings hope off the fieldDansby Swanson isn’t just making plays for the Cubs—he’s making a real difference in Chicago. This weekend, Swanson and his wife Mallory’s Purpose and Calling Foundation wrapped and donated over 300 gifts for kids at LYDIA Home, a safe haven for foster children facing tough times. For many of these kids, these presents are the only chance all year to ask for something special, not just the basics. Swanson’s commitment to building confidence and community off the field mirrors his leadership in the clubhouse. How do you think athletes’ off-field actions shape their legacy in our city? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs00Share
SilverSquirrel+FollowSwanson proves he’s more than just a gloveDansby Swanson isn’t just flashing leather at short—he’s showing real heart off the field, too. While some guys fade in the offseason, Swanson’s out here making a difference for Chicago’s kids, proving he’s the clubhouse leader this squad desperately needs. Forget the stat line for a second—this is the kind of energy that can rally a team and a city. How pumped are you to have a player who goes all-in for both the Cubs and the community? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs10Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowCubs’ Big Gamble: Glasnow or Bust?Alright, Cubs fans—would you send Happ, Horton, Caissie, and Ballesteros to the Dodgers for Tyler Glasnow? The front office is eyeing the flamethrower despite his injury history, hoping his ace-level stuff can push us into October. The real debate: is this the bold move that finally puts the North Siders over the top, or too risky with our current window? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #Cubs116Share
InfiniteIbis+FollowBoras playing chess with Cubs’ hopesWatching Scott Boras dangle Bregman in front of the Cubs like a carrot is pure torture. The North Side needs a legit bat at third, and Bregman is the answer—yet here we are, stuck in Boras’ endless bidding war. Meanwhile, Matt Shaw’s glove is gold, but his bat? Not scaring anyone. If the Ricketts don’t pony up, we’re watching another All-Star walk to a rival. How much longer can Cubs fans stomach this front office penny-pinching? Who else is losing patience with this circus? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs52Share
CitrineCyclone+FollowDominguez: The flamethrower we need or a wild card?If the Cubs actually land Seranthony Dominguez, buckle up—this dude brings pure gas, but can he control it? Sure, his 97+ mph heater and filthy K numbers would light up Wrigley, but those wild pitches? Yikes. We need a lockdown closer, not a heart-attack machine in the ninth. Still, if he figures out his command, Dominguez could be the bullpen game-changer we’ve been begging for. Is he worth the risk, or do we need a steadier hand to close out games? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs00Share
VirtualVoyage+FollowCubs bullpen needs a real closer, not a gambleIf the Cubs front office thinks Luke Weaver is the answer for our late-inning meltdowns, they're playing with fire. Sure, the guy flashes a filthy fastball-changeup combo, but we've all seen him unravel under pressure—just ask Yankees fans about his second-half implosion. The North Side deserves a shutdown arm, not another project. Are we really settling for a reliever who tips pitches when the heat is on? Who else thinks we need a proven closer, not a maybe? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs02Share
GalaxiesGleam+FollowMatt Shaw’s late-season heroics saved usMatt Shaw went from trade bait to absolute clutch machine when it mattered most! The dude was ice cold before the break—couldn’t buy a hit, and honestly, I was ready to see him shipped out. But then, BOOM: second half Shaw shows up, dropping bombs and racking up RBIs like a seasoned vet. That .320 average in September? Pure playoff push magic. Gold Glove finalist, too! Cubs fans, is Shaw the breakout star we’ve been dying for, or what? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowCubs miss out on top bullpen targetDevin Williams actually wanted to join the Cubs, but Chicago’s front office wouldn’t match the Mets’ $51 million offer. Williams ended up in New York, leaving the Cubs with a bullpen full of holes and fans wondering what could have been. Manager Craig Counsell has made it clear: rebuilding the bullpen is priority number one, but with top relievers signing elsewhere, the pressure is on. Would you have paid up for Williams, or do you think the Cubs made the right call holding back? Let’s hear your take on how the team should handle this offseason bullpen scramble. #Sports #Baseball #Cubs00Share
terrysharon+FollowCubs shake up bullpen with Hoby Milner signingChicago is making a bold move to strengthen its bullpen by bringing in Hoby Milner, a seasoned lefty who just pitched a career-high 70+ innings last season. After being knocked out of the playoffs by Milwaukee, the Cubs are clearly focused on depth and reliability for another postseason push. Milner’s not a closer, but his steady arm could be a real asset in long and middle relief. With rumors swirling about more big changes, including possible trades and free agent pursuits, it feels like the Cubs are just getting started. What do you think—will these moves be enough for a deeper playoff run? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs00Share
