Sixty-four men played for the Chicago Cubs this year, five short of the franchise (and MLB) record the team set last year.
I am certain you don’t want, or need, to see grades for all 64 men who wore the blue pinstripes in 2022. So I’m limiting this to the 28 players who were on the active roster at the end of this season, plus a handful of others who played significant roles, some of whom will be back next year.
Ready? Here goes.

Willson Contreras: B
Willson certainly had a busy second half, from not being traded to being seriously injured in the Field of Dreams Game to returning and receiving more ovations at Wrigley Field due to his presumed departure as a free agent, to homering in his final game of the year.
