While there have been some bright spots among the new Cubs, there's also been plenty of disappointment.
When the 2025 trade deadline passed, Chicago Cubs fans were livid. The team landed four players and addressed most of their needs, but never swung for the fences in what will likely be their only year with Kyle Tucker in the fold. Most damning, however, was their failure to address their rotation at the time by not landing a controllable starter like MacKenzie Gore or even a quality rental like Charlie Morton.
