| 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.

| 4/02/25 | Red-hot Chicago Cubs finally go home after 'longest spring training in the world'. 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.

| 3/31/25 | Cubs could soon acquire $56 million All-Star in blockbuster trade with Marlins. The Chicago Cubs are trying to go all-in on the 2025 season, but their mediocre pitching staff might be standing in the way. A year after finishing 10th in Major League Baseball in team ERA, the Cubs did very little to beef up their rotation. Adding Ryan Pressly to the bullpen was a solid move, but Chicago would be wise to make a move to get more late-game leads. Beyond Shota Imanaga and Justin Steele at the top of the rotation, it's hard to know who to count on. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/chicago-cubs/n... |
| 3/30/25 | Cubs fans are already panicking about this key offseason addition's rocky start. The fanbase is done with high-stress ninth-inning experiences just five games into the year. The man on the mound in that dramatic ninth inning, veteran Ryan Pressly, isn't winning over many fans in the early going - and his latest appearance already has many of them calling for his removal as closer, just five games into the 2025 regular season.

| 3/23/25 | Latest Chicago Cubs injury highlights one downside of the team's bullpen construction. There is no question that the Chicago Cubs' bullpen, on paper, is dramatically improved from where it was at the end of the 2024 season. The Cubs added an established closer in former Houston Astros' relief pitcher Ryan Pressly, while also adding another dependable veteran in Ryan Brasier. The Cubs even addressed their need for a left-handed relief pitcher in Caleb Thielbar. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/latest-chicago-cubs-injury... |
| 3/11/25 | Cubs Kyle Tucker projected for $366 million contract extension, beating Aaron Judge. The Chicago Cubs are going into the 2025 season with some high expectations to end their prolonged playoff drought. The team made a series of offseason moves that seemed focused on a return to contention, including the additions of closer Ryan Pressly and veteran infielder Justin Turner. Tucker has instantly become the face of the franchise for 2025 but, after earning $16.5 million in his final season of arbitration eligibility, he could become a free agent at the end of the year. The Cubs dealt away a hefty package of controllable players in Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wasneski and Cam Smith to acquire Tucker from the Astros, so just one season at Wrigley Field might be a disappointment.

| 3/01/25 | Former Chicago Cubs Rule 5 Draft Pick Signs With Boston Red Sox. The Chicago Cubs have dealt with a problematic bullpen the last few years that's cost them a spot in the playoffs. Not only did they make some early winter signings and trades that overhauled and upgraded the unit, but they put the cherry on top when they acquired star reliever Ryan Pressly from the Houston Astros to become the team's new closer. The Cubs selected the right-hander in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft, buying low on a pitcher who had made 16 appearances at the Major League level from 2018-20. The story with Burdi has been the injuries he's accrued throughout his career, undergoing Tommy John surgery twice which stunted the development of the former second-round pick in the 2014 MLB draft.

| 2/24/25 | Chicago Cubs' New Prized Closer Shakes Off Rust in His First Spring Outing. Ryan Pressly made his debut with the Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. The All-Star closer, acquired in a trade from the Houston Astros is expected to fill a role the Cubs desperately need to stabilize. Pressly got the ball to start the second inning, facing the heart of the Rangers' lineup: shorstop Corey Seager, first baseman Jake Burger and third baseman Josh Jung. Although Pressly seemed fluid in his delivery, he wasn't sharp in his performance. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-new-... |

| 1/27/25 | Reports: Cubs acquiring Astros closer Ryan Pressly. The Houston Astros are dealing right-handed relief pitcher Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs, multiple media outlets reported Sunday. Pressly, who served as Houston's closer for three of the past four seasons, will waive his no-trade clause to allow the move to go through, and the Astros will pay some of his remaining salary, the reports said. It was not yet known what Chicago would send to Houston in the deal. Pressly, 36, racked up 90 saves from 2021 through 2023 and helped the Astros win the 2022 World Series as their closer. Then the club signed Josh Hader to a long-term deal and made him their closer in 2024.
