| 7/04/25 | Cubs Emergence of Star Closer Has Dramatically Altered Trade Deadline Strategy. The Chicago Cubs are among the best teams in baseball and are expected to be extremely aggressive at the upcoming trade deadline when it comes to trying to make upgrades. Every report has indicated the Cubs are going to be relentless when it comes to going for it this year, and that means not being afraid to make a significant deal to make upgrades at their perceived positions of weakness. More specifically, the role of closer was a complete mess after trade acquisition from the Houston Astros Ryan Pressly struggled. 25-year-old flamethrower Daniel Palencia entered the season as a guy with potential but had not put it all together yet.

The final pitch of the 2022 World Series left veteran right-hander Ryan Pressly's hand and broke down and away from the Phillies' Nick Castellanos. Pressly watched as Castellanos reached out and poked a fly ball up the right-field line in foul territory. Right fielder Kyle Tucker raced over, squeezed his glove around the ball, and broke out in a smile. “I don't think you can really top that,” Pressly said in a recent conversation with the Sun-Times.

By Jake Misener | Share on Facebook Share on X Copy Article Katie Stratman-Imagn Images Share on Facebook Share on X Share on Reddit Copy Article Things couldn't have gone much worse for Ryan Pressly in the first few weeks of his Chicago Cubs' tenure. The former All-Star waived his no-trade clause and approved a deal that took him from the Houston Astros and installed him as Craig Counsell's de facto closer to start the year. That didn't last long. Pressly got the job done more often than not, but never in uneventful fashion. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/key-cubs-offseason-additio... |

| 5/18/25 | Cubs Approaching Near Lock Status for MLB Postseason With Soft Schedule Ahead. Coming into the 2025 MLB regular season, the Chicago Cubs were viewed by many people as the favorites in the National League Central. It was the first of two trades made with the Astros, as they also acquired veteran closer Ryan Pressly. The Cubs came under some scrutiny for slashing payroll over the winter, going bargain bin hunting with their other additions. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/cubs-approaching-... |

As the Chicago Cubs look to establish themselves as the dominant team in the National League Central, there's an obvious roadblock impeding them. It was a major issue for this Chicago team last season, and it doesn't seem as if the problem has gotten much better. The Cubs traded for former Houston Astros All-Star closer Ryan Pressly to try and mitigate some of their bullpen problems. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/mlb/chicago-cubs/n... |
| 5/12/25 | Astros Offseason Trade Acquisition Starting To Show Positive Developments at Plate. The Houston Astros have had a very odd start to their 2025 campaign. Despite that, they remain in second place among the American League West teams. One of the most notable moves aside from the Ryan Pressly trade was sending Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs, and in return, receiving some promising young prospects and players. The Astros got back Isaac Paredes, Cam Smith and Hayden Wesneski, which, all things considered, was not a horrible deal despite Tucker being outstanding so far this year.

| 5/07/25 | Chicago Cubs Closer Ryan Pressly Makes History With Brutal Extra-Inning Meltdown. While the Chicago Cubs' bats came through in the clutch by forcing extra innings Tuesday night, Ryan Pressly certainly didn't rise to the occasion. Chicago trailed the San Francisco Giants 5-3 entering the bottom of the ninth, until RBI singles from Justin Turner and Kyle Tucker tied the score. The teams remained locked at 5-5 through the 10th, leading the Cubs to turn to their All-Star closer in Pressly in the 11th. Pressly immediately gave up a double, a single and a sacrifice bunt, allowing the Giants to jump ahead by two. Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/history/... |
| 5/07/25 | Giants make insane 11th-inning history at expense of Cubs' Ryan Pressly's worst inning ever. The San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs might've played the craziest 11th inning in MLB history last night. Then in the top half of the 11th at Wrigley Field, the Giants scored nine runs. In the history of their franchise that began in 1883, they had never scored that many runs in a single extra inning, per MLB stat expert Sarah Langs.

| 5/04/25 | Cubs Could Trade For Former Red Sox Right-Hander To Prepare For Playoffs. The Chicago Cubs's late-inning bullpen arsenal might soon feature two former Boston Red Sox relievers. Technically, Chicago's 36-year-old closer Ryan Pressly never played for the Red Sox's big-league team, but he was drafted by Boston in 2007 and spent half a decade in its minor league system. Pressly, a two-time All-Star and 2022 World Series champ with the Houston Astros, has been solid for the Cubs this season, accruing a 2-1 record, 2.08 ERA, and four saves in 13 appearances for a hot 21-13 Chicago club looking poised to seize the National League Central crown.

| 4/20/25 | The Cubs trust circle of relievers is a revolving door. It has been such a roller coaster watching the Cubs bullpen try to cobble together the last 6-8 outs of a ballgame, and it feels like the "trusted" parties are not consistent either. A few bad games, they are outside the "circle of trust" among fans, and a few good games bring someone in. Over the first (domestic) week or so of the season, closer Ryan Pressly and veteran lefty Caleb Thielbar were nowhere near the circle of trust.

| 4/09/25 | Cubs listed as potential fit for 3x World Series champion left unsigned. The Chicago Cubs have gotten themselves off to a hot start in 2025. They entered Wednesday's action with a 9-5 record, which has them at the top of the National League Central, 1 1/2 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers. Still, while they made some good offseason moves to bolster the roster such as the trades for Ryan Pressly and Kyle Tucker, they didn't exactly set the world on fire. Bullpen help is always at a premium, even early in the season, and there actually are a few solid relief pitchers that have not signed yet. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report lists the Cubs as a possible fit for left-hander Will Smith.

The Chicago Cubs, who arrived at spring training before everyone else, traveled to Tokyo and back, spent two different stints in Arizona and initiated a new ballpark in Sacramento, packed their suitcases Wednesday afternoon after sweeping the Athletics at Sutter Health Park. The freezing temperatures and 70% chance of rain in the forecast that await the Cubs for their Wrigley Field opener will never feel so good. “This feels like the longest spring training in the world," Cubs closer Ryan Pressly told USA TODAY Sports.
