A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1961

Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."

Last year’s offseason series here was a look at Cubs trades from 1962-2023. You can read all those articles here.

So, this year I’m going to do the rest of the trades in Cubs history in the Modern Era, since 1901. Unlike last year, when I began in 1962 and ended in the present day, this year I’m going to work backwards from 1961 to 1901.
