With the deadline looming less than two weeks from today, the Cubs rumors are heating up. Theo and Jed Hoyer are almost assuredly going to make some kind of roster moves to improve the team. We’ve discussed in the comments quite extensively Andrew Miller and what we would/wouldn’t like to give up. Here are some updates: Andrew Miller is still …

Series Preview: Pittsburgh Pirates (33-32) @ Chicago Cubs (44-20)
View PostBraves 5, Cubs 1 (6/10/16)
OSS: When you face an ace like Bud Norris, you kind of expect to get shut down like this. Three Up 1. Albert Almora Jr. had a double! Good for him. He also assisted on a double play and did this and this. 2. Dexter Fowler drove in the Cubs' only run and added a double as well. 3. Let's give it to Zobrist, …
Phillies 3, Cubs 2 (6/7/2016)
OSS: Cubs' bats fall silent as the Cubs lose another close game. Three Up 1. Tommy La Stella was the only person to reach base twice for the Cubs in this game. It sort of stinks for him, as he'd be a starter on many, many teams. Doesn't get much run on this squad. 2. Javier Baez had a pinch hit …
Cubs Minor League Update (6.1.2016)
Iowa Cubs 11, Oklahoma City 6 Iowa struck early and struck often, laying 4 down on the Dodgers in the first inning, and added 7 more over the course of an 11 to 6 beating. Everybody had at least 1 hit, and everyone except Juan Perez and Munenori Kawasaki had an RBI. Willson Contreras had another day, going 2 for …
LADoLA 5, Cubs 0 (5.31.16)
OSS: Clayton Richard doing Clayton Richard things Three up: Jake Arrieta was great again tonight, striking out eight in seven innings. Things fell apart for him in the seventh, where he walked the bases loaded with a wild pitch sprinkled in, but he struck out Justin Turner to work himself out of the jam. I wonder why Joe didn't go …
Phillies @ Cubs (5/27/16)
Cubs Fowler CF Zobrist 2B Bryant 1B (!) Soler LF (4th!) Szczur RF Russell SS Bae-z 3B Ross C Lester P Pretty exotic lineup for Maddon to trot out there the day after a scheduled day off. Rizzo gets 2 days off in a row, and he's dealing with the sort of minor slump that you see from him every …

Cardinals 5, Cubs 3 (4/20/16)
OSS: Post-rain delay karma not enough to push the Cubs over the top Three up Rizzo should have had two home runs today, but Grichuk robbed him of his first with a great catch at the wall to close out the first inning. The second one was a no-doubter, however, traveling 443 feet but felt like it was going to go …
