A week ago, the Chicago Cubs appeared to be at one of their lowest points. They had just endured a 13-1 thumping at the hands of the crosstown rival White Sox, who are on their way to the postseason. Gordon Wittenmyer was among those who blasted Cubs leadership for putting an inferior team on the field for the remainder of the 2021 season.
We all know it’s been a rough year in Wrigleyville, not only as the team is on its way to its first losing record since 2014, but also because management decided to purge the team of most of its remaining star players, including Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez and Craig Kimbrel.
