The Chicago Cubs are having a dream season in 2015. After a half decade of losing, the Cubbies are showing what the fruits of a total rebuild can look like as they sit at 74-56 and in control of the second Wild Card by 5.5 games. The Cubs recently made an acquisition to bolster their roster, bringing in outfielder Austin Jackson to help solidify the bench for their run to the playoffs. To make room for Jackson, the Cubs designated third baseman Mike Olt for assignment.
Our own Milwaukee Brewers, as we well know, are on quite a different trajectory than the Cubs.
