6/24/24 As Chicago Cubs rookie Michael Busch locks in at the plate, his defense at 1st base continues to improve. SAN FRANCISCO — Michael Busch knew his chase rate and lack of walks were an unsustainable combination. The electric beginning to Busch’s Chicago Cubs career featured an 11-game stretch in early April when the 26-year-old rookie clubbed three doubles and six home runs.

6/17/24 Cubs still looking for answers on offense – is Jed Hoyer sure they're on this roster?. The Cubs' 7-6 loss to the Giants on Monday followed a familiar script. It was so predictable that president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer practically laid out the inevitable ups and downs before the game. Every game seems to be up one/down one/tied going into the seventh seventh inning. On Monday, the Cubs were up one run going into the seventh, thanks to a go-ahead two-run homer from Michael Busch in the bottom of the sixth.

6/11/24 Latest Michael Busch trend is an important development for Chicago Cubs' offense. The struggles of the Chicago Cubs' offense have been a hot topic issue during the team's spiral toward the bottom of the National League Central division. As of Monday, the Cubs were tied with four teams for the last Wild Card spot in the National League and trailed the Milwaukee Brewers by 6.5 games in the division. Standings are often irrelevant during the early days of June but the reason to point them out is that despite the Cubs' dreadful play since the beginning of May, the team is still in the middle of both the division race and wild card race.

5/29/24 Brandon Gomes: Dodgers Getting Michael Busch Playing Time Got 'Harder And Harder'. Among the many moves the Los Angeles Dodgers made this past offseason was trading former top prospect Michael Busch and Yency Almonte to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Jackson Ferris and Zyhir Hope. The deal gave Busch an opportunity to be an everyday player, which wasn't possible with the current construction of the Dodgers lineup. Busch, who can play all around the infield, was blocked by All-Stars at several positions, as well as Shohei Ohtani at designated hitter.
