Chicago — Forget trades, forget free agency — the Chicago Cubs may have just made the most unexpected signing of the season. Rumors are swirling that social media superstar and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne has been tapped as the team’s official Cheer Queen after players themselves pushed management to make the move.

And the reason? One word: jealousy.

When Dunne went viral supporting her boyfriend Paul Skenes during his MLB debut with the Pirates, Cubs players reportedly couldn’t stop talking about it. According to insiders, the chatter in the clubhouse turned into a full-blown campaign: “If the Pirates get Livvy, why can’t we?”

Eventually, management caved — and that’s when the real drama started.

Sources inside the clubhouse say Dunne’s new presence has sparked chaos among players. From subtle trash talk to full-on passive-aggressive antics, the fight for Dunne’s attention has become the Cubs’ hottest off-field storyline.

One anonymous player admitted:
“We’ve got guys acting like teenagers. It’s less about baseball and more about who she looks at in the dugout.”

Fans are split, too. Some love the idea of Dunne bringing her massive fanbase to Wrigley Field, while others fear it’s a massive distraction at the worst possible time — with the playoff push in full swing.

Social media, of course, is eating it alive. Memes of Cubs stars “auditioning” for Dunne’s attention are going viral, with one fan joking:
“Forget the pennant race, we’re in the middle of The Bachelorette: Wrigley Edition.”

Whether the move boosts morale or fuels more locker room tension, one thing is clear: the Cubs’ biggest late-season headline has nothing to do with their bats or bullpen — and everything to do with Livvy Dunne.
