The Rundown: Suzuki/Morel/Busch Keys to Cubs ’23 Offense, Tauchman Makes Team, Wheeler Signs Record Extension

Which three Cubs non-pitchers are you most excited to see this season and why? Give me Seiya Suzuki, Michael Busch, and Christopher Morel.

It’s odd to say the Cubs entered the offseason needing power after they finished third in the National League in home runs last season. Six players — Suzuki, Morel, Ian Happ, Cody Bellinger, Dansby Swanson, and Patrick Wisdom — hit 20+ taters in 2023. That said, they had only two players among the top 30 in ISO, and one, Jeimer Candelario, played in Chicago for about two months.
