Have you wondered what the best porn games are? Or, more specifically, the best free porn games? This can be daunting, given the sheer number of adult games that are being developed all the time.

Well, that’s where we come in! We’re taking a comprehensive look at 20 of the best porn games in 2021 so you know which games fit what you’re looking for, and which ones will just waste your time.

This article will provide a “best of” list, comprehensive reviews, an overview of our ranking criteria, and an FAQ section. (If you’re completely new to porn games, you might want to skip to the FAQ section first.) All right, let’s get right into it, shall we?

20 Best Online Porn Games of 2023

After much careful consideration, here’s our “best of” list:

Nutaku – best overall
Hentai Heroes – best for hentai fans
Project QT – best RPG
Fap CEO – best clicker game
LifeSelector.com – best POV content
Meet And Fuck Games – best multiplayer game
Crystal Maidens – best gameplay
Pocket Waifu – best animated scenes
The Fister – best graphics
Merge Nymphs – best puzzle game
Sex Emulator – best customization
PlayForceOne – most lifelike
UtherVerse – best virtual world
3D Sex Villa – best 3D game
SF Girls – best Android exclusive
Girlvania – best lesbian content
3DXChat – best VR option
FapTitans – best walkthroughs
PornGames.com – best interface
Summertime Saga – best free updates

1. Nutaku – Best Option Overall

Pros Awesome interfaceSmooth gameplayMobile-friendlyZero ads

ConsHentai-only content

Nutaku is head and shoulders above the rest of the porn game sites out there. There are more games than you could probably ever have time to play (no, that’s not a challenge), including many that are free.

If you’re a hentai fan, you’ll most likely love Nutaku as that’s their primary niche. If you’re not really into hentai, though, you’re probably better off going elsewhere.

If you do in fact appreciate hentai, Nutaku is an incredible site with a smooth layout, no annoying ads, and gameplay that remains blissfully uninterrupted by bugs, lag, or glitches.

2. Hentai Heroes – Best Hentai Game

Pros Fun, addictive gameplayTop-rated browser gamePerfect for RPG adventure fans

ConsFreemium (tries to sell in-game currency)Not the best graphicsHentai-only focus

Hentai Heroes is another game to check out if you’re a hentai fan. You’ll especially appreciate it if you like RPG/adventure games and don’t mind less-than-stellar graphics.

The gameplay, which consists of building your own harem, is quite addictive, but be aware that the game will try hard to sell you in-game currency, which means you might want to avoid Hentai Heroes if you have poor self-control and shouldn’t be breaking the bank on a porn game.

Ultimately, Hentai Heroes is fun and solid for a browser-based game, but lacks some of the higher-quality graphics and gameplay of regular PC games or porn games that carry an up-front cost.

3. Project QT – Best Role-Playing Game

ProsQuality you can expect from a Nutaku titleHybrid game (click, RPG, and harem)Extensive storylineTop-quality design

ConsMobile-focused, so not as good for PC

Project QT is a Nutaku title, which means that it will adhere to a basic quality standard that is much higher than much of what you can find for free online.

This is another game that follows a hentai design style—you can see that there’s a strong trend in porn games toward hentai. If that’s not an issue for you, Project QT is definitely a game to keep on your radar, as there’s fun gameplay, a massive storyline, beautiful art, and really sexy characters.

The main downside with Project QT is that it’s not all that suitable for PC play, as it was designed with mobile gameplay in mind. This does make it a good option for when you’re on the go, though.

4. Fap CEO – Most Fun Clicker Game

Pros Nice artworkEasy clicker gameplayInteresting dialogue

Cons Can get expensive quicklyHentai-only content

Fap CEO is yet another hentai-focused Nutaku offering. As such, you’re guaranteed to have an overall solid game.

On the plus side, Fap CEO offers an easy clicker game that will make you feel like a boss as you make money and hook up with your employees. It has above-average graphics and gameplay that’s pretty compelling compared to most porn games.

On the downside, Fap CEO has limited free gameplay and its microtransactions add up quickly. This is another game you might want to avoid if you have poor self-control and a limited budget.

5. LifeSelector.com – Hottest POV Content

Pros POV/CYOA styleReasonable pricingSuper interactiveTons of models and categories

Cons Not much available for freeNot super user-friendly

LifeSelector is a cool site because it offers a unique blend of porn and gaming. It leverages a “Choose Your Own Adventure” concept with real porn stars to make you feel like you’re right there calling the shots.

If you’re not really into hentai or other animated stuff, this could be the perfect option for you. The only issue is that there’s not much you can get out of LifeSelector for free.

Ultimately, though, you get what you pay for, and you really can’t find this kind of unique experience with other porn sites. So, if you have a little bit of a budget and a craving for interactive porn, LifeSelector is hard to beat.

6. Meet And Fuck Games – Best Multiplayer Game

Pros Huge variety of gamesMultiplayer optionsRecognizable franchises

Cons Some lower-quality gamesNot the best interface

Meet And Fuck Games is one of the best sites for “Meet-n-Fuck”-style games, which are essentially role-playing games where you’re a guy going around and talking to different women, leading inevitably to hardcore sex.

Another nice aspect to Meet And Fuck Games is their many parody games, which allow you to get it on with characters you might know from video games or anime if that’s your thing (hey, no judgment here).

Meet And Fuck Games also offers multiplayer games, which are relatively unusual when it comes to porn games.

The major downside to Meet And Fuck Games is that some of the games are much lower quality than others, so you might need to dig around a bit to settle on a good one.

7. Crystal Maidens – Most Interesting Gameplay

Pros Another Nutaku titleTons of customizationExpansive community100 percent free

Cons Steep-ish learning curve

Crystal Maidens is another top recommendation, particularly if you’re into hentai-style games. You get the quality you can count on from a Nutaku title, with impressive gameplay that even rivals non-porn games like Age of Empires or Warcraft.

This level of gameplay, however, means that it can carry a bit of a learning curve, especially relative to most porn games. You need to be a little bit committed to learning and/or already be into these kinds of games.

Overall, Crystal Maidens is a fantastic choice if you can commit to learning the gameplay, as it features tons of customization and a broad community of users. Plus, it’s totally free.

8. Pocket Waifu – Best Animated Scenes

Pros Lots of mini-gamesPlenty of animated scenesInteresting charactersSolid customization options

Cons No saving your progress

Pocket Waifu is perfect if you’re craving a simulator that lets you be treated like a king by gorgeous waifus.

This game will keep you busy for a while, as you can play a variety of mini-games and enjoy a ton of animated sex scenes. There are also lots of customizable features so that you can design your perfect waifu.

Users might find the lack of a save option disappointing, however, which keeps this game from being one of our top picks.

9. The Fister – Hottest Graphics

Pros Fans of The Witcher will love itSuper realistic feelNo learning curve

Cons Simplistic storylineRequires in-game purchases for full experience

The Fister is inspired by The Witcher and offers a fun free porn game with impressive graphics considering it doesn’t carry an up-front cost.

People who are already fans of The Witcher will love embodying these characters and the immersion delivered by the super realistic feel of the game. It’s also easy, meaning you won’t get frustrated with intricate gameplay when you just want to get off.

Ultimately, The Fister is fun but not likely to grab your attention for long, as the storyline is simple, and you’ll have to shell out to get a more in-depth experience.

10. Merge Nymphs – Best Puzzle Game

Pros Quality you expect from NutakuExtensive gameplayGood-quality art

Cons Kind of an oddball puzzle gameFreemium with pricy upgrades

Merge Nymphs is yet another Nutaku title, meaning that it offers solid gameplay and graphics. While it does feature a lot of levels and girls, it’s also a bit unusual in terms of gameplay.

You play Merge Nymphs on a grid and move objects around until they accumulate and become larger and more valuable objects. It’s a unique genre for sure, but some people may find it just too out there or uninteresting.

On the other hand, if you’re a big puzzle person, you might end up loving this game. Just be aware that the full experience will require spending on unlockable content, which can quickly add up.

11. Sex Emulator – Most Customizable Porn Game

Pros Impressive voice actingSmooth animationsGreat overall production value

Cons Limited customization

Sex Emulator may not have the most compelling title, but it offers impressive 3D simulation. These are the kinds of graphics you’d expect from regular PC games, so it’s not your typical sex game material.

This is also a unique offering in that there’s powerful voice acting, making the game feel super immersive along with the high-quality graphics.

Kinky types will also appreciate Sex Emulator for its wide variety of kinks and fetishes, which will definitely keep you busy for a while.

The only real downside to Sex Emulator is that it lacks some of the customization offered by the other games reviewed here.

12. PlayForceOne – Most Lifelike

Pros Great for kinky typesWide variety of stylesGreat for desktop

Cons Not mobile-compatibleLimited categories

If you want a throwback to flash games, PlayForceOne might very well be for you! This site hosts a bunch of flash games that are all at least decent quality.

PlayForceOne is awesome because there are so many styles of games that it’s hard to get bored. Plus, there are a lot of kinky games so you’re likely to find something no matter what kinks or fetishes you might have.

The major drawback with PlayForceOne is that you won’t be able to use it on your phone. It does make up for this, however, with an impressive user experience on your desktop.

13. UtherVerse – Most Intricate Virtual World

Pros Large communityEasy to meet people

Cons Substantial learning curveNo adjusting volume in-gameFreemium offering

UtherVerse is its own virtual world, combining social media and software that allows you to meet other people online. It’s quite possibly the best XXX simulator out there, with all kinds of settings available: nightclubs, bars, even hotels, and movie theaters.

Without leaving your house you can walk around and have virtual sex with a huge variety of people. While it’s easy to meet people on UtherVerse, and it features a large and friendly community, there is a bit of a learning curve.

This learning curve, along with having to shell out for a VIP membership for full access, are the main downsides to UtherVerse. Apart from that, this is one unique and immersive offering.

14. 3D Sex Villa – Best 3D Game

Pros Highly interactiveIn-depth customizationSupports teledildonics

Cons Requires in-game currencyNot discreet on your PC

Although there are some drawbacks, 3D Sex Villa wins major points for its interactive style. This makes it easily one of the best sex simulators that we’re reviewing here.

You can customize almost everything about the women you’ll be bedding, which makes this game not only fun but also more realistic. Adding to this realism is their support for teledildonics, making 3D Sex Villa ahead of the curve.

The only real bummer with 3D Sex Villa is that it requires “sexcoins” to get the full experience, and it’s hard to hide on you computer, making it not the best choice if you’re looking to keep your porn game hobby cheap and/or a secret.

15. SF Girls – Best Android Exclusive

Pros Nutaku qualityExtremely hot scenesHigh-quality animation

Cons Android-exclusiveEncourages you to spend money

SF Girls is a sci-fi-themed hentai game with a huge emphasis on titties. If you’re a hentai and/or boob guy, then you’re in luck.

As a Nutaku offering, SF Girls offers the quality you expect, with super hot scenes and really high-quality animation.

As with other Nutaku games, however, you’ll be teased and then compelled to spend money, so be aware of that. Plus, this is an Android-exclusive game, so if you’re hoping to play on your iPhone, you’re shit out of luck.

16. Girlvania – Hottest Lesbian Content

Pros Top game for lesbian contentHugely customizableSmooth animations

Cons Expensive upgradesExpensive overall

Girlvania dominates its niche as the best lesbian porn game out there by far. There’s extensive gameplay and an astounding amount of customization, with over 1,000 different clothing and makeup choices available.

Players will appreciate Girlvania’s high-quality animations and extensive gameplay, with the option for solo, duo, and threesomes.

The main drawback with Girlvania is that you’ll have to shell out some money. It’s one of the more expensive options on this list, but hey, you get what you pay for, and Girlvania delivers amazing lesbian content.

17. 3DXChat – Best VR Option

Pros Great multiplayer gameHigh-quality graphicsImmersive gameplayVR and teledildonic options

Cons Must be downloaded and installedThere are adsNot a lot of customization

3DXChat is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a multiplayer game without a bunch of filler content.

With 3DXChat you get fun multiplayer gameplay with impressive graphics and the option for an even more immersive experience with VR (virtual reality) and teledildonic options.

Keeping this from being one of our top options is the fact that you must install the game, deal with some annoying ads, and can’t customize to the extent of many of the other games listed here.

18. FapTitans – Best Walkthroughs

Pros Simple gameplayGuided tutorialFree experience is decent

Cons Non-XXX filterCosts can add up if you’re impatient

FapTitans is a super simple clicker game that will appeal to people who don’t want to get into the complicated aspects of an RPG.

The gameplay is easy, and you can let FapTitans run in the background to accumulate rewards that will get you a gallery full of hentai images.

The main issue is that FapTitans is pretty demanding of your computer or laptop despite its simple gameplay. Plus, if you don’t want to let it run in the background or spend a lot of time clicking, you’ll have to shell out real money to get what you’re looking for more quickly and easily.

19. PornGames.com – Best Interface

Pros Tons of gamesUser-friendly interface

Cons Questionable tabsSome lower-quality games

It’s not hard to tell what you’re getting with a site called PornGames.com. Overall, it’s a solid option because there are a ton of games, many of which are free.

The site also features a nice design and has some helpful search options that enable you to quickly find what you’re looking for.

On the other hand, PornGames has some tabs that are best avoided: “HD,” which doesn’t appear to do anything, “Meet and Fuck,” which sends you to a random, sketchy site, and “Private Sex Games,” which is just an ad.

If you ignore these tabs and some of the more low-quality games on PornGames, however, it’s a solid pick.

20. Summertime Saga – Best Free Updates

Pros Fun dating simulatorAppeals to kinky typesAbsolutely free

Cons Not iPhone supported

Ah, nothing like the good ol’ days of high school and college, am I right? Just kidding, if you’re reading a review of porn games, well, you might not have had the best experience there.

It’s all good, though, because Summertime Saga will help make up for it as you’ll get to explore tons of fantasies with hot friends, classmates, and even teachers, while you play as a horny teenager.

Although still in development, this game features an impressive array of fetishes, animated scenes, and mini-games. The storyline is also quite robust.

The only real downside to Summertime Saga is that it’s not supported on iPhone, so you’ll need to play on an Android device or PC/Mac/Linux.

Top Three games

1. Nutaku is easily one of the best porn game sites around. With an abundant selection of free and paid games, you’re never likely to get bored.

2. Hentai Heroes is one of the more addictive games that we featured, so be careful not to get caught up too much with buying the in-game currency. If you can keep that under control, this is one of our top picks for hentai RPGs.

3. Project QT is an awesome porn game. If you like hentai, you’ll love the engaging gameplay, deep storyline, and gorgeous animation.

Ranking criteria

Here are the criteria that we kept in mind for these reviews, so it’s helpful that you understand them.

CostSome games are completely free, while others have an up-front cost, in-game costs, or both. We kept this in mind, considering most people probably don’t want to break the bank on porn games. Many games will try to lure you in with no up-front cost but then will be loaded with in-purchase fees to make the game more expansive or fulfilling. We tried to note the games that did this to a frustrating degree or that offered little value for free customers.

Story depth Maybe you couldn’t care less about the quality or depth of a porn game’s storyline. This is porn after all, the genre notorious for having ultra-cheesy and random storylines to set up two (or more) people to start banging. Many gamers, however, really appreciate compelling narratives, and so we kept that in mind and highlighted the porn games that offered more storytelling depth and nuance.

GraphicsIn general, you get what you pay for. If you want the best graphics, you will need to shell out a bit up front for the more premium games. There are an impressive amount of free games, however, that have solid or even beautiful graphics, so we made sure to mention those.

Porn games 101

We’ve got some of your main porn game questions covered:

What even is a porn game? Just think of computer and video games. There are all kinds of genres, like RPGs (role-playing games), adventure, combat, and more. Porn games simply involve sexual content, which can range from softcore to extreme hardcore and everything in between.

How do I find porn games? A quick search will give you plenty of sites, but you can always stick with the games reviewed above. If you want to easily find a lot of games in one place, stick to sites like Nutaku that feature multiple games.

Can I use teledildonics with any porn games? Yes, indeed! One game that we reviewed above, for example, 3DXChat, features teledildonic support, meaning that you can sync up your sex toys for an enhanced experience that delivers even deeper immersion.

Are there multiplayer porn games? There sure are. Two that we reviewed above include—or are predicated on—multiplayer: UtherVerse and 3DXChat.

Wrapping up

As you can tell from this article, there are a massive number of porn games to be found online. While it can almost be overwhelming to figure out where to start, we hope our guide to the best porn games in 2021 makes things much easier on you. In any case, no matter what games you choose from this list, we’re confident that you’ll have an enjoyable experience. Fap on!

Chicago Bears: 5 free agents to pursue from Wildcard losersRyan Heckmanon January 17, 2023 at 2:00 pm

Now that Wildcard Weekend is in the books, there are only eight teams left in a quest for the Super Bowl.

Following the weekend’s games, several teams now enter their offseason which are full of big questions.

Which players stay? Which players go? Do we see any of them retire?

For the Chicago Bears, they’ve been in offseason mode for a couple of weeks now. Looking at this weekend’s crop of losing teams, Chicago has plenty to be excited about when it comes to free agency. Let’s take a look at a few names who now enter their offseason and could find a new home.

Free agents for the Chicago Bears to pursue from Wildcard losers: Poona Ford, DL

One of the weakest aspects of this Bears football team in 2022 was the defensive line, and you could argue it was in fact their weakest link. Chicago couldn’t stop the run. They couldn’t rush the passer. They couldn’t do much of anything up front.

That’s why defensive lineman Poona Ford makes a lot of sense, who’s possibly entering a new chapter after five years with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ford, 27, is one of the more underrated defensive linemen available in free agency, but a great player. As an interior lineman, Ford created 22 pressures, 14 hurries and came up with 15 stops, to go along with his 3.0 sacks.

The Bears need plenty of help, and ideally through somewhat experienced guys with some years left in them. Ford would be a phenomenal start to their free agency.

Boundary pushing

“A Natural Turn,” curated by Ionit Behar and up at DePaul Art Museum, centers the impossibility of articulating the boundaries between the real and the artificial. With work by artists María Berrío (Colombian), Joiri Minaya (Dominican-United Statesian), Rosana Paulino (Brazilian), and Kelly Sinnapah Mary (Indo-Guadeloupean), the show tackles the elusiveness of the self for women of color within the mirrored world of colonialism, racism, and late capitalism. While there is no single idea of “woman” or “Latinidad” that the show champions, at the center of the exhibition lies an incisive critique of the myths of individuality.

Behar’s“Turn”forces viewers to question who has the privilege to access the mantle of personhood under the eyes of the collective. In lieu of definitive statements or overarching theses, the exhibition offers something much more interesting: ambivalence and complexity, a refusal of easy answers. For instance, in artist Joiri Minaya’s 2017 video documentation of a performance entitled Containers (the title of the work taken from the wearable pieces Minaya performs in), she states, “I am not a flower,” while partially emerged in the “container” that covers her body in a tropical floral print. A flower here is never just a flower—nor is a snake plant, a motherland, a piece of cake, a mother, or the person you see when you look in the mirror.

With emotional and artistic depth, “A Natural Turn” makes space for refusal, rebellion, and play by making a home in the in-between spaces. Wholeness here is a myth, but in the fissures and cracks, liberation grows. 

 “A Natural Turn: María Berrío, Joiri Minaya, Rosana Paulino, and Kelly Sinnapah Mary”Through 2/19: Wed-Thu 11 AM-7 PM, Fri-Sun 11 AM-5 PM, DePaul Art Museum, 935 W. Fullerton, resources.depaul.edu/art-museum

Founded by Jim Duignan in 1995, the Stockyard Institute is part civics project, part art practice, and wholly an experiment in liberatory social practice…


Curator Matt Morris’s “In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is,” up at Loyola University’s Ralph Arnold Gallery, is a full-hearted and generous analysis of Kim Krause, Morgan, and Sabina Ott’s bodies of work. The exhibition is strikingly expansive, explicitly positioned within the histories of modernism and postmodernism.…

One of these Buccaneers receivers would be perfect for the BearsVincent Pariseon January 17, 2023 at 1:00 pm

Use your (arrows) to browse

The Chicago Bears are getting ready to shop the first overall pick around as they try to improve their chances at a brighter future.

With the fact that they have their franchise quarterback in place and there is no generational-type player at another position, there is no reason to keep the pick without trying to get a haul for it.

Chicago also has the most cap space of any team in the National Football League. That might allow them to add some pieces that help them develop into a much better organization going forward.

It would be a good idea for them to consider adding a receiver that can help them develop Justin Fields who showed in 2023 that he has the potential to be a fantastic player in this league. The problem is a lot of his electricity came in his run game but his passing left a lot to be desired.

The Chicago Bears need help in the wide receiver room going into 2023.

The Bears made a trade to add Chase Claypool but he wasn’t very effective. He gets a pass because Fields wasn’t where he needs to be in his passing game but 2023 will need to see some growth from both of them.

Darnell Mooney is also there but he needs some help. In an ideal world, Mooney would be a three and Claypool would be a four. It might be hard to land a one or a two but there are plenty of them out there.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were just eliminated by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, have two guys that the Chicago Bears should strongly consider adding this offseason:

Did the Chicago Bears make a mistake by not hiring Brian Daboll?Todd Welteron January 17, 2023 at 12:00 pm

Use your (arrows) to browse

The Chicago Bears did not have a lot of success during Matt Eberflus’ first season as head coach. The Bears finished with the league’s worst record. Although, the fault does not completely lie with Eberflus.

General manager Ryan Poles gutted the roster last offseason. He then traded away Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith before the trade deadline. After those deals were completed, Don Shula probably would not do much better with the roster Eberflus had to work with.

Then again, there was a coach who possibly could have gotten a few more wins-Brian Daboll.

Look no more for proof after he just guided the New York Giants to a 9-7-1 record. Daboll just won his first playoff game and will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round.

The Giants hired Brian Daboll last offseason. The Chicago Bears did have him in for an interview.

Ryan Poles got the general manager job shortly after Daboll was interviewed and Poles decided to go with Eberflus.

Daboll got the Giants job two days later after he developed Josh Allen into a franchise quarterback in Buffalo. He also had a prior working relationship with the Giants’ new general manager Joe Schoen.

Daboll inherited a team with a salary cap mess worse than the Chicago Bears. The Giants bottomed out at 4-13 in 2021. He took over a team that came off having the league’s second-worst offense in yards and scoring.

The Giants’ offense jumped to 15th in scoring and 18th in yards gained this year. The Giants quarterback has thrived under Daboll.

Quarterback Daniel Jones went from not getting his fifth-year option picked up to be in line for a nice payday this offseason.

Jones completed 67.2% of his passes as he threw for 3205 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just five interceptions this year. Last year, Jones threw for 2428 yards, ten touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games because of injuries.

Jones showed a ton of growth this year under Daboll’s tutelage and in his offense. Still, even his improvement should not mean the Giants are a playoff team.

It is not like the Giants made a lot of offseason moves to dramatically turn the roster into a playoff-winning team. They dealt with some injuries at wide receiver.

New York’s success has come from running back Saquon Barkley getting back to playing at a high level, solid play from Jones, and a defense that could complement the offense. It is not like the offense is high-powered.

They are getting it done on the ground as they are in the top ten in the league in rushing yards and attempts.

The Giants have a familiar feel. They entered the season with a young quarterback who could run, but it was unknown if he could develop into at least a solid throwing quarterback.

A team with a young quarterback that likes to run the football and did not do a ton last offseason because of salary cap restraints sounds like a certain team that plays at Soldier Field. Yet, the Bears went 3-14 and will have the No. 1 draft pick while the Giants are a victory away from getting into the NFC Championship Game.

Cubs to honor Sandberg, who sees issue for Sosaon January 15, 2023 at 2:56 pm

CHICAGOChicago Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg will be immortalized outside of Wrigley Field in the summer of 2024 when the team unveils a statue of his likeness, the organization announced on Saturday at its annual fan convention.

Sandberg’s statue will join those of Hall of Fame players Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins and announcer Harry Caray just outside the gates of the ballpark.

Sandberg found out about the honor when it was announced to the crowd — which he was a part of — during a seminar with ownership on Saturday morning.

“It caught me a little off guard,” Sandberg said through a smile.

Sandberg, 63, played for the Cubs for 15 years, making the All-Star team 10 times while winning the NL MVP in 1984. He was enshrined in Cooperstown in 2005. On Saturday, he was asked what kind of pose he’d prefer for his statue.

“That might be hard,” he answered. “I was all about equal, both offense and defense. That was my goal, to be the best at both. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pick a pose.”

A renovated Wrigley Field will feature the statues outside of the stadium and a new Cubs Hall of Fame inside. On Friday, the team announced former standouts Mark Grace and Shawon Dunston will be inducted into that Hall of Fame this summer.

One former player who won’t be getting any of the above honors in the very near future is Sammy Sosa. The team’s all-time home run leader remains in bad standing with the organization and hasn’t been invited back to Chicago for any of its fan conventions in several years.

Sosa’s potential association with the steroid era remains an issue for the team. During the owner’s seminar, Tom Ricketts was asked why Sosa, who failed to make the Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame when he was eligible, isn’t welcomed back despite the demand from fans.

“I think there are two sides here,” Ricketts said. “The Hall of Fame voters believe there are two sides to the story. I know a lot of fans that believe there are two sides to the story. I’d like to get this behind us as well but I want to be thoughtful about it and do it in a way that’s respectful to both the people that love Sammy and people that respect the game too.”

There is one pathway back for Sosa that would not involve the team directly. Inductees to the new team Hall of Fame are voted in by a committee of current Hall of Fame players along with a group of local sportswriters. Sosa would be eligible for that in 2024, in which case the organization would not stand in the way of his enshrinement nor the ceremony for it, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Sosa hit 60 or more home runs three times between 1998 and 2001 and is the only Cubs player to accomplish the feat three times. He ranks ninth all-time with 609 home runs while hitting 545 as a member of the Cubs from 1992 to 2004.

Sandberg, who was part of the Contemporary Era committee which recently failed to elect Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens to the Hall of Fame, stands with Cubs ownership.

“For me, playing the game the right way, with respect, was always what I was taught in the minor leagues,” Sandberg said. “That was my Hall of Fame speech. I think I said it 28 times. And there was a little problem with the way that Sammy played the game. If that’s a roadblock, that’s a roadblock.”

Sources: Cubs, 1B Mancini agree on 2-year dealon January 15, 2023 at 4:32 am

CHICAGO — Free agent first baseman Trey Mancini is in agreement with the Chicago Cubs on a two-year deal which includes an opt out clause after the first season, sources told ESPN on Saturday night.

Mancini, 30, spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles before being traded last summer to the Houston Astros, where he played a part-time role in their run to the World Series title.

He struggled with the Astros, hitting just .176 in 165 regular season at-bats. He hit 18 home runs split between the two teams and made a key defensive play at first for the Astros during the World Series.

On Nov. 9, less than a week removed from winning the title, the Astros declined a $10 million option on Mancini in favor of a $250,000 buyout. Across the regular season with the Orioles and Astros, he hit .239 with 18 home runs and 63 RBIs.

Mancini is likely to see time at first base as well as designated hitter after the Cubs signed lefty Eric Hosmer this week. The move also means slugging first base prospect Matt Mervis is likely to start the season at Triple-A Iowa.

A six-year veteran, Mancini became an inspirational figure in baseball after being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. He returned to the diamond in 2021 and then helped the Orioles contend for a playoff berth in 2022 before being traded.

Mancini has 125 home runs and a .787 OPS in 752 career games.
