Across the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a></strong>, certain fanbases have <strong>stood firm through years, even decades, of losing seasons</strong>, keeping stadiums alive when victories were scarce and optimism hard to find.</p>



<p>These fans have weathered countless rebuilds, ownership changes and heartbreaks, yet <strong>continue to fill seats and wear their team’s colors with pride</strong>. Their support has become part of the franchise identity itself.</p>



<p>From cities with storied droughts to clubs still chasing their first title, their dedication proves that true fandom isn’t defined by trophies — but by the <strong>unwavering belief that next season might finally be the one</strong>.</p>



<h2>15. Colorado Rockies</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Colorado-Rockies-1024x576_022d1cf6.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512540" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Colorado Rockies fans (Source: MLB)</figcaption></figure>



<p>High above sea level, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-rockies">Colorado Rockies</a></strong>’ fanbase demonstrates a distinct form of loyalty: the commitment to show up despite weather, altitude, and frequent struggles on the field. Even in seasons marked by poor records, the club has managed average attendance figures that hover around 30,000-plus.</p>



<p>That unique geographic market fuels a fandom rooted in community and place rather than simply wins. For many, being a Rockies supporter means embracing the environment and identity as much as the sport. The loyalty here is about belonging—to the city, to the Rockies experience—and less about expecting glory.</p>



<h2>14. Baltimore Orioles</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Baltimore-Orioles-1-1024x576_3fdc3b41.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512536" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Baltimore Orioles fans (Source: Patrick Smith/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-orioles">Baltimore Orioles</a></strong> fans have known both hope and heartache. The team achieved its highest attendance since 2015 in 2024—but then suffered the largest one-season drop in its history in 2025, underscoring the fragility of loyalty when results falter.</p>



<p>Changes in ticket-package policies this year drew criticism from long-time supporters, who questioned whether their loyalty was being reciprocated. Thus, the Orioles’ faithful find themselves in a conversation about what support means. They come to Camden Yards not just to cheer but to prove that loyalty can survive the disillusionment—though only if the club meets them halfway.</p>



<h2>13. Cincinnati Reds</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Cincinnati-Reds-1024x576_00eacbda.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512535" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Cincinnati Reds fans (Source: Justin Casterline/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-reds">Cincinnati Reds</a></strong>’ fanbase is a lesson in staying power. Despite enduring seasons of struggle—including 100-loss campaigns—the Cincinnati community continues to embrace the team’s history and identity. A study noted Cincinnati remains one of the top U.S. cities for baseball despite poor results.</p>



<p>Redsfest, the club’s annual fan festival, draws thousands of participants year after year—one recent edition noted over 16,000 fans and dozens of former players in attendance. Cheering for the Reds isn’t just about rooting for success—it often means standing by through the long haul, recognising that loyalty doesn’t always look like a win column.</p>



<h2>12. Los Angeles Angels</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Los-Angeles-Angels-1024x576_b45592bc.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512534" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Los Angeles Angels fans (Source: Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In the sprawling Los Angeles entertainment market, supporting the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-angels">Angels</a></strong> poses its own test. Although the attendance numbers have dipped in recent years, the fan culture still shows signs of perseverance.</p>



<p>The franchise has invested in fan-experience partnerships—such as the club’s deal with Sports Illustrated Tickets to enhance engagement at Angel Stadium—suggesting that the front-office recognises loyalty doesn’t always follow wins.</p>



<p>For Angels supporters, the allegiance is less about a trophy chase and more about maintaining visibility in a crowded sports city—and consistently showing up even when the scoreboard doesn’t deliver.</p>



<h2>11. Detroit Tigers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Detroit-Tigers-1024x576_61ffd980.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512533" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Detroit Tigers fans (Source: Duane Burleson/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-tigers">Detroit Tigers</a></strong> fandom carries a quiet strength through rebuilding years. The existence since the 1980s of the Mayo Smith Society—a club for Tigers followers “for those who always care” — underlines an enduring commitment even when the team isn’t thriving.</p>



<p>Recent signals point to a rejuvenation of interest: local broadcast ratings surged 82 % year-over-year in 2025 and average attendance rose to over 26,000 fans early in the season. In other words: Detroit’s base doesn’t vanish at the first sign of struggle. Instead, they become part of the narrative—waiting, watching, hopeful for what might come next.</p>



<h2>10. Milwaukee Brewers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Milwaukee-Brewers-1-1024x576_34359f6a.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512532" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Milwaukee Brewers fans (Source: Michael Reaves/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In Milwaukee, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-brewers">Brewers</a></strong>’ fanbase thrives on persistence. Despite playing in one of the smaller markets in the league, they’ve maintained a strong vocal presence and a series of initiatives acknowledging fan dedication — for example, the team’s “Superfan Spotlight” honouring supporters for their loyalty.</p>



<p>Even during seasons without dramatic success, attendance has remained respectable and the atmosphere energetic; in 2025, the club recorded over 2.65 million home-game visitors, an indicator of resilience rather than mere reward for wins. What stands out is the mindset: Brewers fans are not simply there because of the scoreboard, but in spite of it—tailgates, community traditions and the hum of “we’re still here” define the support.</p>



<h2>9. Minnesota Twins</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Minnesotta-Twins-1024x576_a3123610.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512531" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Minnesota Twins fans (Source: Genevieve Ross/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-twins">Minnesota Twins</a></strong> operate in a smaller market compared to some of these powerhouses, and yet their fanbase has shown quietly enduring loyalty. While measurable data may show fluctuations tied to performance, the sentiment in Minneapolis–St. Paul is less about flash and more about steady commitment: tickets bought, hats worn, spring training followed. </p>



<p>In seasons when the scoreboard disappoints, the smaller-market crew still carries the banner—and their steady presence often speaks louder than superstar sign-ings or marquee runs.</p>



<h2>8. Los Angeles Dodgers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Dodgers-2-1024x576_79c54e83.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512530" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Los Angeles Dodgers fans (Source: Harry How/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In LA, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a></strong>’ supporters have built a national and international footprint—yet what stands out is their steadiness even when the club under-delivered. Not every season has lived up to the billing, but the lesions of losses appear to register little in terms of attendance drop-off. </p>



<p>According to rankings of loyalty, they consistently sit high not just because they win, but because their crowd shows up regardless. Beyond baseball, being a Dodgers fan often means carrying the team’s identity with you—through rough years and rebuilds.</p>



<h2>7. San Francisco Giants</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_San-Francisco-Giants-1-1024x576_2d3bbab0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512529" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>San Francisco Giants fans (Source: Corey Perrine/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-giants">San Francisco Giants</a></strong>’ fans are testament to consistency. After their early-2010s period of success, they endured quieter seasons—but the metaphoric orange-and-black remained in the stands. </p>



<p>Analysts working from attendance and longevity data have highlighted the Giants’ fanbase as among the most stable in the league. Even as wins fluctuated, the brand of loyalty in San Francisco held fast—proof that fandom can bind beyond scorelines.</p>



<h2>6. New York Mets</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Mets-1024x576_4d1387fa.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512528" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>New York Mets fans (Source: Elsa/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a></strong>’ fan culture is forged in adversity. Their inaugural 1962 season featured 120 losses—the worst in modern-era National League history—and yet attendance ranked mid-pack.</p>



<p>For many followers, rooting for the Amazins isn’t about assured victory; it’s about enduring the cycles and believing in the next turn. Even in seasons of disappointment, the resolve to show up remains part of the identity—a compact between club and city, built on hope rather than guarantees.</p>



<h2>5. Philadelphia Phillies</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Phillies-2-1024x576_c24585a5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512527" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Philadelphia Phillies fans (Source: Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Philadelphia sports is known for passion, and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies">Phillies</a></strong>’ fanbase exemplifies it. Studies show the franchise ranks among MLB’s most loyal fanbases—with variables such as home-attendance, road-game presence and social-media engagement all tipping in their favour.</p>



<p>Even in lean years of rebuilding, the Citizens Bank Park crowd doesn’t vanish—it changes tone but not presence. That persistent backing turns the Phillies’ struggles and hopes into a shared journey rather than a spectator sport.</p>



<h2>4. St. Louis Cardinals</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Cardinals-1024x576_8d163926.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512526" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>St. Louis Cardinals fans (Source: Elsa/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In St. Louis, supporting the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/st-louis-cardinals">Cardinals</a></strong> often feels like being part of a larger community. Their fans have bridged eras of dominance and the inevitable cycles of decline with steady devotion. </p>



<p>Even when the club fell short of expectations, attendance and engagement remained relatively stable, underscoring a base that transcends wins and losses. While the team’s lore includes multiple championships, the real loyalty shows in seasons when contention faded—but the redbirds still soared in the stands.</p>



<h2>3. New York Yankees</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_NY-Yankees-1024x576_d1023b2f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512525" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>New York Yankee fan (Source: Spencer Platt/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong>’ fanbase often is tied to success—but it’s easy to overlook how loyal many of their followers have been during seasons of under-performance, roster shake-ups and the weight of expectation. </p>



<p>Though championships are part of their legacy, the global reach of the brand means that each downturn carries both disappointment and scrutiny. Even in quieter years the navy and white pinstripes remain ubiquitous: the trace of faith is in the absentee-free crowds, the road followers, the persistent belief that this franchise will again rise.</p>



<h2>2. Boston Red Sox</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Red-Sox-1024x576_f8756345.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512524" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Boston Red Sox fans (Source: Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox">Boston</a></strong>, fandom is entwined with history. The “Reverse the Curse” cry of the city’s supporters echoed through an 86-year championship drought, and yet the seats at Fenway Park were filled.</p>



<p>Time and again the franchise stumbled, but the community held fast. From July-to-sell-out streaks to road trips across decades of frustration, the “<strong>Red Sox Nation</strong>” embraced its scars as much as its hopes. The loyalty shown through dark seasons built the atmosphere that made the eventual title wins all the more meaningful—not just for the team, but for a city’s identity.</p>



<h2>1. Chicago Cubs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_510172_Chicago-Cubs-1-1024x576_f3671798.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-512502" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Chicago Cubs fans (Source: Jamie Squire/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Chicago Cubs</a></strong>’ fans became masters of patience: for decades, they shepherded hope through years of rebuilds, broken promises and the so-called Curse of the Billy Goat that haunted the club for 71 years.</p>



<p>Even when the scoreboard told a familiar story of defeat, the bleachers at Wrigley Field remained packed, the “Eamus Catuli!” banners still sung, and generational rituals carried on.</p>



<p>When the 2016 championship finally arrived, it felt less like a surprise and more like the reward owed to the faithful who had remained through more nights of “wait ’til next year”.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a></strong> have surfaced in a new report indicating their interest in Kyle Tucker of the <strong>Chicago Cubs</strong>, who was the team’s <strong>fifth-best hitter </strong>during the 2025 regular season with a .266 batting average. The Dodgers are reportedly willing to spend a significant sum for the outfielder.</p>



<p>The report comes from John Heyman, who wrote on X about the Dodgers’ interest in Tucker:<em> “Dodgers expected <strong>to pursue Kyle Tucker: </strong>1. They like him 2. OF is the least of their strengths 3. Presumably they have $ left after pursuing Soto 4. Of course they do.”</em> Tucker is reportedly considered the team’s number one priority target.</p>



<p>During the regular season, Tucker made a crucial contribution to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Cubs</a>, not only maintaining a strong batting average but also<strong> tallying 22 home runs, 25 doubles, 133 hits, and 91 runs</strong>. These are impressive numbers for an outfielder.</p>



<h2>How the Dodgers could utilize Tucker</h2>



<p>Should the Dodgers successfully acquire Tucker from the Cubs, Heyman’s analysis suggests the team <strong>could align him in the outfield alongside another veteran</strong> to boost that area of the field.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kyle Tucker&apos;s last 160 games…<br><br>.290/.402/.537, 40 HR, 31 SB, 169 wRC+, 15.5 BB%, 15 K%, 8 DRS, 8 fWAR <a href="https://t.co/q9drga7ymv">pic.twitter.com/q9drga7ymv</a></p>— Aram Leighton (@AramLeighton8) <a href="https://twitter.com/AramLeighton8/status/1939391378154201290?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 29, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<p><em>“The Dodgers could install Tucker in right field and <strong>move Teoscar Hernández to left,</strong> giving them a potentially <strong>productive outfield</strong> to go along with the game’s most star-studded infield,” </em>Heyman wrote in his article for The New York Post.<em> “The one tiny negative is that Tucker is a left-handed hitter, <strong>which would make them slightly unbalanced</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>Despite being somewhat limited this year, <strong>Tucker had a strong season with 136 games played. </strong>This performance demonstrates he is in good form and ready to contribute to a new team, especially after playing only 78 games in his last season with Houston due to injury.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Cubs</a></strong>‘ postseason aspirations were shattered as the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their place in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers are set to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, who advanced after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies.</p>



<p>Despite their efforts, the Cubs struggled against the Brewers, squandering numerous opportunities and failing to showcase the full potential of their star-studded roster. Notably, <strong>Kyle Tucker</strong>, former Houston Astros standout, was among those who couldn’t shine.</p>



<p>Tucker joined the Cubs this season with hopes of leading the franchise to glory. However, <strong>his future with the team remains uncertain, sparking widespread speculation.</strong> Following the Cubs’ disappointing exit, Tucker addressed the media, leaving many questions unanswered.</p>



<p><em><strong>“We’ll see what happens. I don’t know what the future holds. If not, it’s been an honor playing with all these guys </strong>and wish everyone best of luck whether its playing next year or not with them,”</em> Tucker remarked to journalists after the tough loss to the Brewers, a team that delivered an exceptional regular season, particularly with standout performances from players like Jackson Chourio.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Absolutely do not let Kyle Tucker remember he’s Kyle Tucker. <br><br> <a href="https://t.co/9QOqh4Ygcy">pic.twitter.com/9QOqh4Ygcy</a></p>— Barstool Chicago (@barstoolchicago) <a href="https://twitter.com/barstoolchicago/status/1976491415459836110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<h2>Tucker’s impact in his first year with the Cubs</h2>



<p>After seven seasons with the Astros, <strong>Tucker joined the Cubs with the aim of propelling them to postseason success and, potentially, a World Series</strong> appearance, a feat the Cubs haven’t achieved since their historic 2016 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-cubs-kyle-tucker-reportedly-set-to-join-multiple-world-series-champion-team-next-season"></div>


<p>Although the team fell short of their postseason goals, Tucker contributed impressively in his debut season with the Cubs. <strong>He posted a .266 batting average, with a .377 on-base percentage, a .464 slugging percentage, and an .841 OPS</strong>, along with 22 home runs, 73 RBIs, 133 hits, and 91 runs in the regular season. </p>



<p>In the postseason, Tucker recorded a .259 batting average, with a .375 on-base percentage, a .370 slugging percentage, and a .745 OPS, <strong>contributing 1 home run and 1 RBI.</strong></p>



<p>As Tucker comes to terms with the Cubs’ postseason exit, he is set to join a high-profile cohort of players entering free agency next season, <strong>including Kyle Schwarber from the Philadelphia Phillies and Pete Alonso of the New York Mets.</strong></p>

Cubs' key player Kyle Tucker offers ambiguous clue about his future for next season - Bolavip US

<p>The tension in Milwaukee tonight is nearly tangible as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Chicago Cubs</a> </strong>and the <strong>Milwaukee Brewers</strong> prepare for a decisive <strong>Game 5 </strong>in their <strong>NLDS</strong>. Neither side will settle for a close exit — both know the margins will be razor-thin. Expectations hang heavy on every decision: bullpen calls, matchups, pinch hitters.</p>



<p>Chicago enters on a momentum swing after dominating Game 4, forcing this final moment on <strong>Milwaukee’s home turf</strong>. The Brewers, meanwhile, must harness all postseason resolve to close out a series that’s pushed their depth and discipline to the limit.</p>



<p>Baseball fans across the league are watching closely. For one franchise, the playoffs come to an end tonight. For the other, the prize is a ticket further down the postseason road.</p>



<h2>What happens if the Cubs lose tonight?</h2>



<p><strong>If the Cubs fall in Game 5, their 2025 season ends immediately</strong>, and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-brewers">Brewers</a></strong> advance to the <strong>NLCS</strong>. That outcome would place increased scrutiny on Chicago’s roster and postseason construction — from bullpen usage to rotation depth and late-game decisions.</p>

<p>The victor will face the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a></strong> in the <strong>National League Championship Series</strong> beginning Monday, Oct. 13.

What happens if the Cubs lose Game 5 vs the Brewers in the NLDS today? - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Cubs</a></strong> are poised to capture significant attention in the postseason, with standout performances from players like <strong>Pete Crow-Armstrong</strong> fueling high expectations among their fan base. After his remarkable outing against the <strong>New York Mets</strong>, the anticipation for the challenges ahead is palpable.</p>



<p>In the contest against the Mets, Crow-Armstrong made an impact early, scoring in the second inning. Post-game, <strong>he surprised many with a unique analogy, drawing parallels to an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> star from the Chicago Bears to articulate his play’s execution.</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“You don’t often see plays like that in baseball… I was able to scan the field like our guy Caleb [Williams] does,”</strong></em> Crow-Armstrong remarked to the media following the game. He referred to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, highlighting his field awareness in contributing to his scoring success.</p>



<p>Though initially drafted by the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mets</a></strong>, Crow-Armstrong launched his MLB career with the Cubs in 2023. While a native of Sherman Oaks, California, his adoration for the city of Chicago<strong> and its enthusiastic supporters gives the impression he is a hometown product.</strong></p>

<h2>Crow-Armstrong reflects on key double in Cubs victory</h2>



<p>Following comparisons with Bears’ Williams, Crow-Armstrong provided insight into a crucial base-running moment during the game. As the Mets’ catcher mishandled the ball, <strong>Crow-Armstrong seized the opportunity to advance, showcasing his instinct and quick decision-making on the field.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/anthony-rizzo-to-retire-as-a-cub-how-many-mlb-games-did-he-play-in-chicago"></div>


<p><em>“There’s not much to process with that play,”</em> Crow-Armstrong remarked. <em>“In moments like these, instinct takes over.<strong> I’m always on the lookout for opportunities like that, and when it happened, I capitalized.</strong> You don’t often see a catcher fumble like that,”</em> he explained regarding the decisive play.</p>



<h2>Cubs dominate Mets to strengthen postseason position</h2>



<p>In addition to Crow-Armstrong’s standout play, the Cubs delivered a commanding performance, underscoring their postseason ambitions. Their consistency and strong plays throughout the regular season, <strong>exemplified by Crow-Armstrong, have solidified their position as playoff contenders.</strong></p>



<p>With their 10-2 triumph over the Mets, New York’s franchise now finds itself in a precarious position. <strong>The Mets must rely on their own efforts to secure the final Wild Card spot.</strong> Fortunately for them, the Los Angeles Dodgers aided their cause by defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are in pursuit of the same playoff position.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-rizzo">Anthony Rizzo</a></strong>’s story is stitched into the soul of Chicago baseball. A first baseman defined by loyalty and grit, his career reflects more than home runs or trophies—it embodies the spirit of a franchise and a city that embraced him fully.</p>



<p>After years of unforgettable moments, he chose to close his playing days with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Chicago Cubs</a></strong>. His retirement marks a fitting homecoming, a celebration of leadership and the bond he built with fans at Wrigley Field that endures forever.</p>



<p>Stepping away from the diamond, he begins his next chapter as a Cubs ambassador. His influence extends beyond the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a></strong>, ensuring his presence will inspire future generations and preserve a timeless legacy.</p>



<h2>What is Anthony Rizzo’s net worth?</h2>



<p>Few numbers capture the arc of a career like net worth — but for Anthony Rizzo, that figure tells only part of the story. As of mid-2025, Sportskeeda pegs <strong>his net worth at around $27 million</strong>, a reflection of steady success on and off the field.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250910_BUS_489404_Anthony-Rizzo-1024x576_ccb84e4c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Anthony Rizzo looks on during the American League Championship Series in 2024." class="wp-image-489461" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Anthony Rizzo looks on during the American League Championship Series in 2024. (Source: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>This sum stems from years of peak performance at first base, highlighted by All-Star nods, Gold Gloves, and a signature place in Cubs lore. But it also whispers of Rizzo’s off-field footprint, symbolized by local endorsements.</p>



<p>Net worth is a snapshot, not the whole portrait. It frames lessons in stewardship: how talent, public trust, and giving back intersect in the long game of reputation—something his story illustrates beyond the blinding lights of big contracts.</p>



<h2>What was Anthony Rizzo’s salary with the Chicago Cubs?</h2>



<p>In 2013, Anthony Rizzo locked in a pivotal seven-year extension with Chicago worth $41 million, including a $2 million signing bonus—an investment that underpinned a decade of both production and identity for the franchise.</p>



<p><strong>By the time the Cubs picked up his option for the 2021 season, he was earning $16.5 million</strong>. Later, with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">Yankees</a>, his annual salary hovered around $17 million, backed by a $40 million guaranteed deal over two years.</p>



<p>These headline numbers tell a deeper truth. In baseball’s economic ecosystem, they mark the trust a franchise places in a player’s character, leadership, and consistency. They also trace an arc from rising prospect to franchise anchor.</p>



<h2>Anthony Rizzo’s career earnings</h2>



<p>Eagle-eyed fans know that net worth and career earnings aren’t interchangeable—but career earnings themselves tell a powerful story. By mid-2025, <strong>his total salary earnings across MLB reportedly surpassed the $120 million mark</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250910_BUS_489404_Anthony-Rizzo-1-1024x576_7016eaa7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Anthony Rizzo tips his cap after a tribute video was played on the video board in 2024.

(Source: Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>That figure tallies across multiple stages: his breakout with the Cubs, the extension of his prime years, and his later Yankees contract. Added up, it reflects a career that never skimmed the surface, but remained firmly among the financial leaders at first base.</p>



<p>More than a tally, those earnings chart a journey—from survivor of Hodgkin’s lymphoma to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-series">World Series</a> champion to enduring presence in clubhouse culture. The numbers matter—but the legacy behind them matters more.</p>



<h2>Anthony Rizzo’s endorsements in MLB</h2>



<p>Off-field, Anthony Rizzo’s footprint extends into brands that echo his values—like <strong>State Farm, Sony, BodyArmor</strong> and Chicago’s beloved <strong>Buona Beef</strong>. Each partnership reflects both visibility and community alignment.</p>



<p>In Chicago, “<em><strong>the Rizzo Way</strong></em>” isn’t just a sandwich—it’s a charitable model: every order helps fund his foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research and families facing hardship.</p>



<p>Endorsements are often transactional, but in his case, they read like a story of reciprocal respect: between player, fans, and community. It’s where influence becomes stewardship, and presence becomes promise.</p>



<h2>Anthony Rizzo’s investments</h2>



<p>Anthony Rizzo’s financial acumen extends well beyond the baseball field. As of mid-2025, he has diversified his portfolio through various business ventures and investments, reflecting a keen eye for opportunities outside of sports.</p>



<p>One notable aspect of his investment strategy is his involvement in private equity. <strong>He serves as a Managing Director at Areté Capital Partners</strong>, bringing over twenty-five years of experience in operational and commercial management, as well as corporate strategy.</p>

<p><strong>Kyle Tucker</strong> is poised to become one of the most sought-after players in <strong>MLB</strong>‘s trade market next season. Following a seven-year tenure with the Houston Astros, during which he secured a World Series title and appeared in the All-Star Game for four consecutive years, among other accolades, Tucker is reportedly contemplating his future in the MLB, as he is playing this year with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Cubs</a></strong>.</p>



<p>According to a report by <em>Bob Nightengale of USA Today</em>, there is speculation among <strong>some league executives regarding Tucker’s future, with whispers suggesting he might be heading to the Los Angeles Dodgers next season.</strong> While no names have publicly confirmed or endorsed this rumor, should this move materialize, the Dodgers would be acquiring a marquee player for the upcoming season.</p>



<p>This potential acquisition arrives at a crucial juncture for a franchise that has encountered difficulties during recent regular seasons. Despite the stellar performances from new addition <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/yoshinobu-yamamoto-reacts-firmly-on-dodgers-stunning-defeat-to-the-orioles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who talked firmly after the game</a></strong>, the team suffered losses to the Baltimore Orioles. The incorporation of Tucker’s talents could significantly bolster the Dodgers’ offensive lineup.</p>



<p>Teaming up with stars like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, Tucker could provide head coach Dave Roberts with an exciting new offensive option. Meanwhile, as the team progresses through the regular season, <strong>it remains focused on defending its title in the postseason, facing imminent series finales with high stakes.</strong></p>



<h2>Tucker’s impact with the Cubs this season</h2>



<p>The Cubs are thriving this regular season, and Tucker is eager to demonstrate his capabilities in the upcoming matchups. <strong>The team is eyeing a postseason berth, hoping to become key contenders in the race for the World Series.</strong></p>

<p>As the Cubs savor Tucker’s contributions for the remainder of the season, the Dodgers could be strategizing to incorporate him into their lineup.

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Cubs</a></strong> continue to build momentum as they strive to secure a direct berth into the postseason. With a remarkable performance that places them just behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central standings, the Cubs are setting their sights on clinching the top Wild Card spot. Reports suggest that the recent signing of a seasoned veteran could be pivotal in achieving their playoff aspirations.</p>



<p>According to <em>Jon Heyman of the New York Post</em>, <strong>the Cubs have finalized a deal with veteran first baseman Carlos Santana.</strong> Having recently become a free agent after parting ways with the Cleveland Guardians, Santana is poised to join the Cubs for the remainder of the season.</p>



<p>With a roster already boasting talents like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, and Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs are determined to make a substantial push toward postseason play. <strong>Their dedicated fan base has been fervently anticipating this possibility, and securing the first Wild Card position is a crucial initial milestone.</strong></p>



<p>Santana’s addition could prove invaluable, given his extensive postseason experience,<strong> including six playoff appearances and a World Series run with the Guardians, though they fell short against the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2017</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<h2>Santana’s 2025 numbers</h2>



<p>Despite his recent departure from the Guardians, <strong>where he had previously earned an All-Star selection and both Silver Slugger and Gold Glove awards</strong>, Santana’s impact this season was modest as the team struggled to secure even a Wild Card spot.</p>

<p>Santana’s versatility extends beyond first base as he can also serve as a catcher, adding a valuable dimension to the Cubs’ lineup. His presence could provide much-needed support <strong>as the team aims to prove that their current success is more than just a stroke of luck.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Chicago Cubs</a></strong> look strong heading into September with a good chance of making the playoffs. To help solidify their position, they are reportedly giving another opportunity in the majors to<strong> Kevin Alcántara</strong>, who is being called up to play in the outfield again.</p>



<p>The report came from Mike Rodriguez, who is well-connected to sources regarding players from the Dominican Republic. Last season,<strong> Alcántara played in only three games with the Cubs</strong>, where he didn’t make a big contribution, batting just .100. The hope is that this time will be better for him.</p>



<p>With the Cubs sitting at <strong>78-58 in second place in the NL Central</strong>, any help from a player, whether a rookie or a veteran, is a welcome addition. August will end with positive numbers for the team—15 wins and 13 losses—and they are looking to win the final game on Sunday against the Rockies to sweep the series.</p>



<h2>What Will Alcántara Be Paid?</h2>



<p>His new salary is not yet known, but last season, Alcántara<strong> was earning an annual salary of $740,000</strong> under a one-year deal. It is likely that this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season he will be receiving a similar amount, and depending on his performance, he could be offered something better at the end of the year.</p>

<p>In a recent report from MLB Pipeline about Alcántara, it was noted that<strong> he was doing quite well </strong>playing in Triple-A: <em>“Kevin Alcántara continues to demolish left-handed pitching in 2025, upping his OPS to 1.002 after this roundtripper. The Cubs’ fifth-ranked prospect has nine games with 3+ RBIs this season, three have come this month for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs.”</em></p>



<p>Now, the decision of how and when to use Alcántara will be up to the coaches. The team will have to be very careful not to waste opportunities in the upcoming September games, as he has not yet demonstrated his full potential at the plate in the majors.</p>

Currently trailing the New York Mets by just five games for the final Wild Card spot, the Giants are poised to give it their all. Devers has been pivotal in this effort, especially after leading the team to a commanding victory over the <strong>Chicago Cubs</strong>.</p>



<p>Following his impressive performance, Devers addressed the media regarding the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Giants</a></strong>‘ current situation. When asked if this was the first time he truly felt at ease playing at Oracle Park, <strong>he candidly shared his thoughts on performing in San Francisco.</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“I’ve never said that I don’t feel comfortable here. I always give everything I have, and I’m here to do my job,”</strong></em> Devers stated after the Giants’ 12-3 triumph over the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cubs</a></strong>. <em>“There are good days and bad days in baseball, and that’s just part of the game,”</em> he added, reflecting on the ups and downs of the sport.</p>

<h2>One of Devers’ runs came from a bizarre mistake</h2>



<p>In an exhilarating performance by the Giants, one of the most astonishing moments against the Cubs unfolded in the bottom of the fifth inning. Devers scored a run in an unusual sequence after Matt Chapman connected with the ball. <strong>As Kyle Tucker attempted a throw to home plate, the ball inadvertently struck Chapman in the head.</strong></p>

<p><strong>This miscue allowed Smith to capitalize by scoring a second run on the play, further extending the Giants’ lead against the Cubs. </strong>The Cubs, who were vying for a crucial opportunity to surpass the Philadelphia Phillies in the standings and secure a direct postseason berth, faced a challenging setback.</p>



<h2>Devers’ stats against the Cubs</h2>



<p>It wasn’t just fortuitous plays that propelled the Giants to a decisive victory over Chicago. Raffy exhibited outstanding leadership, dominating various statistical categories, <strong>which earned him a standing ovation from the enthusiastic crowd at Oracle Park.</strong></p>



<p>Devers’ impressive stat line included a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate, <strong>4 runs, 2 home runs (bringing his season total to 27), 5 RBIs (increasing his tally to 89), and a walk (marking his 92nd of the year), alongside a .258 batting average.</strong> If Devers maintain this level of performance, the Giants could find themselves in strong contention for at least a Wild Card position in the postseason race.</p>

<p><strong>Cade Horton</strong> is considered one of the best pitchers since the All-Star break, and a strong outing was expected against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-brewers">Milwaukee Brewers</a></strong>, but he had to leave the game much earlier than anticipated, without even completing three full innings.</p>



<p>His departure was difficult for fans to accept, as they wanted to start the home series <strong>with a win against the Brewers.</strong> After he left, the Brewers scored two more runs and took a considerable lead.</p>



<p>So far this season, Horton has worked a total of 16 games on the mound, giving the team s<strong>even wins in 10 decisions for a 3.07 ERA.</strong> It has been a very good first professional season for him, establishing him as one of the best in the rotation.</p>



<h2>What Happened to Horton That Caused Him to Leave So Quickly?</h2>



<p>His sudden departure from the game against the Brewers was<strong> due to a blister.</strong> Something as simple as that stopped him and prevented him from continuing. Up to that point, he had allowed <strong>just one run</strong> and four hits and had struck out three batters.</p>

<p>The Cubs are now losing their second-best pitcher in the rotation behind Shota Imanaga’s 3.06 ERA. It is unknown when Horton will pitch again.</p>



<p>August had been a good month for Horton with three consecutive wins, <strong>one against the Orioles, another against the Reds,</strong> and the most recent against the Blue Jays. The first two were at home, which made him a favorite to win a home game once again.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Cubs</a></strong> are set to generate significant buzz in the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, as head coach Craig Counsell fields one of the Cubs’ top prospects, Owen Caissie, this afternoon at Rogers Centre in Toronto, following the injury to Miguel Amaya.</p>



<p>Caissie has already sparked excitement among the Cubs fan base, particularly in the wake of Amaya’s absence. The match against the Blue Jays presents a unique opportunity for Caissie, <strong>as the stadium is reportedly merely 35 miles from his high school. </strong>This proximity adds a personal layer to his Major League Baseball debut.</p>



<p>With the stage set at Rogers Centre, Caissie joins an elite list of MLB players. By stepping onto the field today, <strong>he become only the third Canadian to make his MLB debut in Canada</strong>.</p>



<p>That feat was not achieved since Dennis Boucher did so with the Blue Jays in Toronto 34 years ago. Alongside Caissie and Boucher, <strong>Rob Ducey was the first Canadian to debut in Canada, playing for the Blue Jays in 1987</strong> in a game against the Texas Rangers.</p>

<h2>Caissie makes history</h2>



<p>Caissie steps onto the field and<strong> he makes history as the first Canadian to debut in Canada donning a jersey other than the Blue Jays’.</strong> Despite any mixed emotions, he’s likely to reminisce about attending games in Toronto as a high school fan.</p>

<p>The buzz surrounding his debut has not gone unnoticed. Head coach Counsell addressed the media about Caissie’s potential inclusion in the lineup. <em>“I’d love to have him be in the lineup, but we’re just gonna wait and see what his scheduled arrival time is,”</em> Counsell stated. <strong>However, it’s official for the Cubs that he will take 5th turn at-bat.</strong></p>



<h2>Caissie’s jersey number for MLB debut with the Cubs</h2>



<p>Amidst the speculation surrounding Caissie’s debut against the Blue Jays, it has been revealed that he will wear number 19. <strong>This number could soon be associated with a historic chapter for both Caissie and the franchise in his home country.</strong></p>
