It’s said that all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, some endings come quicker than we’d like to see. This was the case for much of the core of the 2016 World Series-winning Chicago Cubs. However, while much of that core has faded into obscurity, one former Cub has kept shining brighter with each passing season.
Kyle Schwarber has played some of his best baseball since he departed the Cubs following the 2020 COVID-shortened season. Just last week, the Philadelphia Phillies slugger overcame an 0-for-20 slump by hitting four home runs in a game against the Atlanta Braves - just your casual 9-RBI slump buster.
