With the Silver Slugger award finalists revealed, it feels like an appropriate time to look back in the history of the Chicago Cubs and recognize some of the franchise's most storied Silver Slugger award winners.
The Cubs' recent history with the Silver Slugger awards may not be as joyous as Cubs fans may believe it to be. The Cubs' 2016 World Series core included notable sluggers in Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, and Kyle Schwarber. One may be quick to suggest that there were multiple Silver Slugger awards handed out to that core of players, but in reality, Rizzo in 2016 and Baez in 2018 were the only seasons where that was the case.
