Brennen Davis' Cubs career was interrupted not by developmental woes or a stacked big-league roster standing in his way. Rather, it was the same iceberg in front of the same ocean voyage every single time: Davis just couldn't stay healthy.
Injuries ranging from the freak to the far-too-familiar weighed him down at every turn following his star turn at the 2021 Futures Game. After he peaked at No. 16 on Baseball America's Top 100 list prior to the 2022 season, he finally fell off the rankings in 2024 and wore out his welcome in Chicago at season's end.
