The Chicago Cubs have had a rough go of it. New York Yankees fans can relate, as their team went into a tailspin from the end of May until about a week ago. But, generally, all is fine. The Cubs have a 4.5-game cushion in the Wild Card and the Yankees just gained a game on the top WC spot as they threaten the Blue Jays for the AL East crown.
But that's not to say problems still don't exist. For the Cubs, they just witnessed the worst career stretch from star player Kyle Tucker. The slugger has fallen off a cliff over the last month or so, and Cubs manager Craig Counsell made an executive decision to give him a mental reset.
