The numbers came out in dribs and drabs instead of being announced all at once, but after waiting through most of Friday, we now have the 2020 contract number for Kyle Schwarber, the final of the six arbitration-eligible Cubs to be signed:
Confirmed: $7,010,000 for Schwarber to avoid arbitation, per source. The tenacious and tedious @ESPNChiCubs was on that one first, too.

$7,010,000 is $890,000 less than the MLB Trade Rumors projection for Schwarber of $8 million.
