Before you read this, a caveat: Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The 2021 Chicago Cubs stand at 11-14 with one game left in April. The starting rotation is in tatters, the offense is feast-or-famine and the bullpen has been shaky.
I remain convinced that this team has too much talent to play like this for an entire season. These players, almost all of them, have long track records of success. Further, it’s not like most of them are over-the-hill. With the exceptions of Anthony Rizzo, Jason Heyward and Jake Arrieta, all the key performers on this team are 30 or younger.
