The Rundown: Maddon’s Time Has Ended, Cubs Certain to Make Other Changes, Sunday Baseball Notes
There is still so much baseball left before a champion is crowned in late October, but for the Cubs, today marks their final game of 2019. At least the Cubs are going down with a little fire.
Yadi vs Hamels.

Cole Hamels pitched a heck of a game, probably his last with the Cubs. If I had to place a bet on his future I’d put my money on the Phillies signing the veteran righty. It sounds like Hamels also understands his time in Chicago has likely ended, when asked why he would start a meaningless game (for him) while battling shoulder fatigue.
