Chicago Cubs: Everything is riding on a strong start in 2020
If the Chicago Cubs fail to get off to a strong start in 2020, it may be the final nail in the coffin, forcing Theo Epstein to deal away the team’s best players.
Nobody knows what 2020 holds for the Chicago Cubs. If we’re being honest, it’s hard to imagine it going as poorly as this offseason has, with the team having made just a pair of big league signings to-date – while suffering significant losses via free agency.
The front office is betting everything on David Ross bringing a new culture to the clubhouse and ushering in a new era on the North Side. Joe Maddon moved on after a tremendously successful five-year run but it’s pretty clear that change was needed.
