MLB The Show 20 simulation features not one, but three Cubs championships
Cubs Roster 2020: Javier Baez, shortstopNot one, not two, but three Cubs World Series championships in the 2020s? According to a video game, it’s happening, y’all.
ESPN conducted a decade-long MLB simulation using MLB The Show 20, the latest installment of the popular video game series — which hits the shelves on Tuesday. The outcome was three Cubs championships — 2020, 2023 and 2024 — albeit the latter two happening sans two popular players.
2020: Javy Báez has an “outstanding” first half, Jon Lester has a Cy Young Award worthy season and the Cubs acquire Marcell Ozuna from the Braves. Chicago reaches the Fall Classic, taking down the Astros in six games behind Jason Heyward’s hot bat.
