The Cubs entered the season with a decent chance of making the playoffs but an even better chance of a collapse. The wrong outcome came to fruition.
The Chicago Cubs have had a very painful season. On Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Cubs somehow found a way to hit rock bottom.
On the 66th anniversary of Sandy Koufax’s MLB debut, the Chicago Cubs’ pitching staff threw its first ever combined no-hitter in franchise history at Dodger Stadium. The final out of Thursday night’s 4-0 Cubs win was recorded by closer Craig Kimbrel. For the MLB’s active saves leader, making history wasn’t on his mind.
Only four seasons removed from their historic 2016 World Series championship, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer find themselves at a crossroads as the core of their title team heads into their free agency walk seasons. Led by Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, and Anthony Rizzo, the key offensive components of the Cubs roster that ended the franchise’s 108-year championship drought are looking at big contracts at the conclusion of next season.
