BCB’s front-page writers have done several of these roundtable discussions previewing Cubs seasons and postseasons, so here we are again to kick off the 2021 season. Josh, Duane, Sara, Thomas, Ashley and I had a lively online conversation Tuesday afternoon. The online chat has been lightly edited for clarity.
Al Yellon: So, here we are. Baseball’s back, we’re playing 162 games this year, fans are coming back to ballparks... what are we all expecting from the Cubs this year?
Duane Pesice: 85 wins.
Al Yellon: The NL Central sucks. The Cubs could win the division with 85 wins
Duane Pesice: Yabbut strife and turmoil.
