I swear, Chicago sports fans are incapable of enjoying nice things. That certainly seems to be the case when it comes to at least some Chicago Cubs fans and four-time All-Star Kyle Tucker, who is in the midst of another monster year at the plate.
Entering this weekend's series against Baltimore at Wrigley, Tucker owns a 155 OPS+ that leads all Cubs players, as well as a .391 on-base percentage that would rank as the highest mark of any Cubs player over a full season dating back to Anthony Rizzo (.405) in 2019. But you'd never know it by the about-face I'm seeing at every turn, with folks who were begging for him to get a blank check a month ago now calling predictions of a $500 million contract crazy.
