The opening week and a half of the 2025 season for the Chicago Cubs generated a mixed set of reviews from the fanbase. They are 7-5 through their first 12 games and have a huge interleague series at home to begin this week against the Texas Rangers.

The front office’s biggest offseason acquisition in years has showed out early after having a brutal Spring Training at the plate. He was awarded with the National League’s highest honor based on his performance to begin the campaign.
