The days leading up the Chicago Cubs holding their annual fan convention have been filled with people expressing their frustration on their slow offseason and reactions to the sign-stealing scandal. There is no question this year’s Cubs Convention is already different than those in recent years. For the first time since probably 2014, fans are filing into the event not feeling overly confident about contending for a World Series.
One thing that has kept some fans hopeful is the possibility of seeing the team extend some of their key core players including: Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Willson Contreras and/or Kris Bryant.
