While we wait for the next few hours for the Cubs to make more trades, I thought I’d take a look at the team as an off day separates the first two-thirds of the 2025 season from the last third to come.
The Cubs have played 108 games and are 64-44, a .583 winning percentage that would extrapolate to a 95-win season. That, in most years, would be more than enough to win the NL Central. In fact, in the Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship season, they were 67-41 at this juncture, just three games better than this year’s team.
