Report: Chicago Cubs have checked in on struggling Cy Young winner, willing to absorb full salary

22 hours ago | chicitysports.com | Paul Magno

The Chicago Cubs, as of this writing, have the best record in the National League and sit atop the NL Central Division with a 5-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals. Much of the team’s success has been sparked on by their versatile and potent offense, which rates among the best in all of baseball. On the pitching side of things, the bullpen has gone from being shaky to sturdy, becoming one of the best over the last several weeks.

The Chicago Cubs front office, this past offseason, declared themselves to be “all in” when it came to making a serious playoff run in 2025. Whether or not they were truly “all in,” however, can be debated. They never made a play at any high-end starting pitchers. They made only a token effort at grabbing Alex Bregman. They were outbid by the Dodgers for closer Tanner Scott.
Chicago Cubs urged to explore two off-the-beaten-path pitching pickups

The Chicago Cubs need pitching. Let’s not even beat around the bush when it comes to that reality. On the starting pitching side of things, the team has lost ace Justin Steele for the season with an elbow injury. Co-ace Shota Imanaga has been out since early May with a hamstring injury that has proven to be a trickier mend than anticipated. Javier Assad has yet to pitch this season as he deals with an oblique issue that could keep him out of commission for a good bit longer.
Chicago Cubs’ big second-half pitching hopes may center on recoveries, not trades

The Chicago Cubs are riding high right now, carried to a somewhat comfortable first-place spot in the NL Central Division by their league-best offense. Their formerly shaky bullpen has also solidified in recent weeks, making it one of the most reliable relief corps in baseball at the moment. The live-or-die aspect of the team, though, may be its starting pitching.
Cubs PCA 4th fastest to ever reach this milestone

Chicago Cubs rising star Pete Crow Armstrong seemingly does something eye popping every night. The young center fielder is an incredible five-tool player, who finds ways to impact ball games. Two areas that he has made a huge impact in this year are home runs and stolen bases. He’s been so good at each of these that he recently became the fourth fastest player ever to reach a specific home run and stolen base milestone.
Chicago Bulls hold leverage over Josh Giddey in contract talks

As the NBA heads closer to the offseason, the Chicago Bulls have a lot of roster questions to address. Not the least of which concerns Josh Giddey. The Australian star averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game in the 2024-2025 season and is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Considered a vital piece of the Bulls’ overall attack, the team will look to retain Giddey, and they may be able to do it at a reduced rate.
Chicago Cubs outfielders on pace to make baseball history

The Chicago Cubs added a lot to their team this past offseason. It was enough to make this 2025 squad almost unrecognizable when stacked up against last year’s wildly inconsistent and malaise-prone team. The biggest addition was right fielder Kyle Tucker, who was acquired from the Houston Astros in December for Isaac Paredes, Heyden Wesneski, and Cam Smith. An equally big addition, though, may be more of an emergence.
Chicago Bears urged to consider defensive trade before training camp

While the Chicago Bears new-look offense has gotten plenty of attention, the team must see massive improvements on defense as well to truly take a step forward. But with depth across the interior of their defensive line now in place, the Bears can afford to consider a trade. Gervon Dexter is coming off of a career-high five sacks. He is joined by 10-year NFL veteran Grady Jarrett, who Chicago signed to a three-year, $43.5 million contract during the offseason.
Chicago Bears offensive lineman among favorites to win new NFL award

During the Chicago Bears’ 2024 campaign, offensive line was arguably the team’s biggest weakness, as evident by their league-leading 68 sacks allowed. Chicago was aggressive during the offseason to ensure the same problem doesn’t occur in 2025. Arguably their crown jewel addition was left guard Joe Thuney, who the Bears acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. Chicago has already signed Thuney to a two-year extension, showing how highly the franchise thinks of him.
