The Cubs are luckier than a lot of other teams out there, in that the coming weekend does not mean the end of the season for them and their fans. It is, however the end of regular season play, and a great time to assess where the Cubs are, and where they can go in the future. Yes, the postseason will be filled with edge-of-seat excitement, but it’s a contest of the best of the best, played on a very small scale. Compared the the slog of the regular season, it’s a wholly different game.
So as we enter the final weekend of the season, it’s time to look ahead, to take stock of who might be leaving, and who might finally be healthy, and all that lays ahead for the Cubs in 2019.
