SAN FRANCISCO – The reality hit Willson Contreras after the final pitch. The Cubs’ 4-0 loss to the Giants on Sunday may have been his last game in a Cubs uniform.
“Tomorrow’s another day,” Contreras said. “We’ll see what happens. It’s going to be a long day. It’s been a long, long week – long, long month for me.”
The trade deadline comes down at 5 p.m. Tuesday, before the Cubs open a three-game series at St. Louis. And the team has an off day Monday, one Contreras is planning to fill with video games, maybe a trip to the pool.
