Frequently Asked Questions
Did Bruce Levine accidentally tweet a private text meant for Craig Counsell?
Yes, on Monday night Levine appeared to accidentally post a private text intended for Cubs manager Craig Counsell on Twitter instead of sending it as a direct message. He deleted the tweet about 34 minutes later, but not before Cubs fans had already seen it.
What did Bruce Levine's accidental tweet say about the Cubs front office?
Levine praised Counsell and the coaches for getting the team 12 games over .500, then added 'Hope twinke dee and twinke dum don't sell you guys out like the 2025,' which appeared to be a shot at Cubs GM Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins over last year's trade deadline decisions.
What is the Chicago Cubs record at the 2026 All-Star break?
The Cubs are 54-42 at the All-Star break, which is 12 games over .500 and considered a strong achievement given the significant pitching injuries the team dealt with in the first half.
What trade is referenced in Bruce Levine's accidental tweet?
The tweet appeared to reference the Michael Soroka trade from the 2025 trade deadline, implying Levine was unhappy with how Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins handled that deal and the team's overall moves at last year's deadline.
How did fans know the Levine tweet was an accident and not intentional?
The poor grammar, spacing, and multiple typos in the post strongly suggested it was a private text message that Levine mistakenly sent publicly on Twitter rather than a deliberate public statement.
