Chicago is beating teams in two distinct ways - and the wins continue to pile up. One of the secrets to the Chicago Cubs’ success this season is that they are not one team. They are two teams, stunningly different in their approaches yet equally potent and effective. At Wrigley Field, the Cubs are a frenetic dynamo capable of driving opponents to distraction with their super-charged, balls-to-the-wall baserunning.

The Tyson Miller journey with the Chicago Cubs has come to a forgettable end. Miller opened the 2025 season on the IL for the Cubs, trying to work his way back from a hip injury he suffered during the team's exhibition games in Japan.

If there is one thing that Tom Ricketts has been great at, it's finding a way to step in it with his comments at the worst possible time.

Just this past offseason, while promoting the Cubs Convention, the Ricketts foolishly stated the goal each season was for the team to "break-even" financially.
