Josh Naylor, Ryan McMahon Trades Could Impact Cubs’ Deadline Plans cubsinsider.com/2025/07/25/jos…
Is it fair to say this is the greatest offensive day in the history of baseball??
Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 4+ HR a game with 5+ XBH a game with 6+ hits a game with 6+ runs a game with 8+ RBI That one player is Nick Kurtz. He did it all tonight.
Doing the wave at any baseball game is annoying. But I've noticed that a lot of people do it at Fenway in high-leverage moments 😭
Fenway doing the wave bottom 8, down 3 to the Dodgers, with the No. 1 prospect in baseball at the plate
Totally that time of year, but the sense I’ve gotten is that Jaxon Wiggins not pitching tonight isn’t related to a trade. Could always just be a load issue or building back up. Doesn’t mean he won’t be traded, just this doesn’t sound like it’s related
Not to send everyone into a frenzy while watching this horrendous baseball game, but haven’t seen it mentioned on here yet that Jaxon Wiggins was scratched from his start for Knoxville tonight.
It looks like Luke Little is hurt again. Unfortunate news, as he had been doing well in Iowa and was also a possible trade candidate.
Luke Little just surrendered a game-tying single to Hector Rodriguez with two outs in the seventh. He then departs with athletic trainer Logan Severson. Not goling to make any guesses, but he appeared to be grabbing at his back a bit.
I’m convinced no one starts drama more than Willson Contreras
Benches cleared in St. Louis after Nick Pivetta hit Willson Contreras with a pitch.
#Cubs lineup for game 103/162- Busch 1B Tucker RF Suzuki DH Crow-Armstrong CF Happ LF Swanson SS Hoerner 2B McGuire C Bruján 3B Imanaga SP
Ian Happ has been very adamant that he doesn’t want to waive his no-trade clause. He negotiated it into his contract for a reason. Doubt that has changed during this season
Cubs fans… would you be willing to trade Ian Happ straight up for Dylan Cease?
Josh Landry was electric in yesterday's win over Brewster, logging four scoreless innings of relief. He struck out six and allowed only one baserunner, who reached on an infield single in the ninth. Read below about his incredible outing ⬇️ capecodleague.com/yarmouth-denni…
The Yankees were a clear fit for Suárez. The list of competitors with the Cubs is dwindling down
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies, per source. Colorado will receive two prospects in return.
In last night's Josh Naylor trade, the D-backs acquired left-hander Brandyn Garcia, who debuted for Seattle on 7/21. He's only pitched two innings in the majors, but his breaking balls grade out as above average. Garcia registered a 28.2% K% and a 55.4% GB% across AA and AAA.
NFL media acted like Fields died on the field yesterday but nope he’s back within a day
One day after dislocating his toe, Jets QB Justin Fields is back at practice.
While teams should always listen on everyone, the sentiment of “everyone is available” feels much more real now that Horton and Shaw aren’t prospects.
According to sources close to the organization, the Chicago Cubs have decided not to hold on to any of their promises in the minor league system. The front office is ready to consider offers for any young player, including top prospects such as Moisés Ballestero, Jefferson Rojas,…
Felt like a good day to drop this. Click the link for the rankings and write ups, but if we’re thinking in tiers: 1-4, 5-6, 7-15, 16-idk. Trade the right ones, Jed. bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/07/2…
.@YD_RedSox outfielder Brayden Dowd is officially a Seminole. I spoke with him about his decision to join @FSUBaseball. “Florida State offers everything that I was looking for, from development to the ability to win a national championship.”
It appears that the Diamondbacks are truly selling this deadline. Among these players could likely be: Kelly, Gallen, and Suárez. All three of which are solid fits on the #Cubs roster
The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to trade 5 to 6 more players following the Josh Naylor deal, per sources.
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOO
BREAKING: The Seattle Mariners are acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources tell ESPN.
