The Cubs non-tendered Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora on Wednesday.

Kyle Schwarber’s time with the Chicago Cubs is potentially over. Albert Almora‘s time as a Cub is likely over. They were both non-tendered by the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, making them free agents. However, Gordon Wittenmyer reported that a new contract for Schwarber is possible, with discussions ongoing.
