Chicago Cubs: Drafting, trading for high end talent has paid off
The Chicago Cubs are heading to their first World Series since 1945. It’s an exciting time on the North Side.
But the Chicago Cubs’ front office have been planning for this. They have drafted high-end talent over the last few years or traded for top prospects with the thought of being in this position. It has certainly paid off.
