That was a great stretch done by the Cookie Monster. The dedication to the bit "Me never want to get back"? That's professionalism.
And Nico SCALDS one to bring home the go-ahead run! Please do not check statcast. Just trust me. Blistered.
Whatever happens from here, Javier Assad just went pitch-for-pitch with Tarik Skubal. Awesome job.
Writing about Ryan Zeferjahn and I cannot believe how many times I am referencing Mason Miller and Jacob Misiorowski here
Okay, so the dust and excitement has settled a bit. The new additions are arriving and making their debuts. So what about the other end of the deadline? The cost? How should we analyze what the Cubs' gave up? And where is the system today? northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...
Analyzing The Price Of The Trade Deadline: Did the Cubs Lose Too Much?
The Cubs traded a few notable prospects at the trade deadline. But ultimately, what was the cost for the Cubs?

The Cubs made a handful of moves in the leadup to their playoff push. None may be more important and impactful than acquiring Ryan Zeferjahn—and certainly, none will be as talked-about. #cubs #chicago

Yesterday, I posted Brenton Doyle's Savant page, because deep down, I love oddities in this sport. Yesterday the Cubs acquired Ryan Zeferjahn, who, is a weird pitcher in his own right. Come on a journey with me breaking down their newest arm. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

Matt Trueblood@matrueblood.bsky.social · 2d agoUpdates here. I'm still being told deal is on, but there are reports from multiple national reporters that it's not. More to come: northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...
Listen, I'm slated to go live with the Diamond Centric crew at 3pm cst and I need the Cubs to give me something more to talk about. C'mon Jed.
As it looks like Brenton Doyle is about to be traded, let me regale you with my favorite Savant page ever...Mr. Doyle in 2023. It's epic. It's glorious. It's beautiful. It's so weird. It's a HoF Savant page. Find me something better, I dare you.
Roughly 21 hours before the 2026 MLB trade deadline, the Cubs made their first move of the deadline window, nabbing Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman. What can fans expect of the newest Cubs hurler? #cubs #chicago

So, the Cubs did a thing and got a new pitcher. But what exactly should you expect from Kevin Gausman? I dove into his numbers, what he does well and came up with a quick primer so you didn't have to. northsidebaseball.com/forums/topic...
What to Expect from the Newest Cub, Starter Kevin Gausman

This is an A+ trade. Period. The Cubs gave up two prospects with 20 grade power (and bench possibilities at the highest level) for a rental SP who's xFIP is on par with Joe Ryan. Fantastic trade. Now do more.

When I think of teams who are trying to win now, I usually think "they should trade one of the five best players at his position".
Passanthallich@passanthalbot.bsky.social · 3d ago🔁 @Ken_Rosenthal retweeted @TheAthleticMLB While Detroit continues to weigh trade offers for a number of its players, the trade of Skubal does not necessarily signal a full-blown sale, according to a person briefed on its plans. Instead, the Tigers will try to “thread the needle” and continue to
Two teams I didn't mention in this piece, but who could also be matching up with #Cubs on deals in this vein: #Padres and #Orioles.
North Side Baseball@northsidebaseball.com · 3d agoThe Cubs' options on the trade market continue to dwindle. If they only have to swing one deal to check the two biggest boxes on their to-do list, they'll pounce on the chance, sources say. #cubs #chicago
Nico missed the 3-0 call. It's gotta be hard to challenge in the moment, but I'm sure he'd like that one back. Damn. Wonder if the Yankees's blowing two in that inning had a reverse psychology effect.
Get the comeback win. Get the trades done. Let's have a banger of a Sunday.
Read into it as ye see fit. Pedro starts. Kelly starts. (I think they both make perfect sense).
Al Yellon@bleedcubbieblue.bsky.social · 3d ago#Cubs lineup vs #Yankees this afternoon
Wake up and listen to us break down all of the Cubs' rumors headed into the last 48 hours or so of the deadline. Skubal is gone but Detmers, Kirby and others remain in play. I think the Cubs will likely get at least one piece of business done today just to have something done headed into tomorrow.
