With the All-Star break about to end, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic sit down to preview the second half of this up-and-down season and offer a few predictions on what’s ahead. The storylines inevitably revolve around Craig Counsell, a manager who is definitely not on the hot seat but also hasn’t made a huge mark on the team yet.

Are the Chicago Cubs Back?

2024/07/11

Just when you think they’re out, they pull you back in. An impressive series win in Baltimore recalls the turnaround before last year’s trade deadline, when the Cubs shifted from likely sellers to actual buyers. There are reasons to believe that this team can play at a much higher level and finish strong. But Cody Bellinger remains an important X-factor.
