Final Record: 67-76
The Iowa Cubs produced two players who became mainstays at Wrigley this summer. Carl Edwards Jr. and Willson Contreras proved they could learn and adapt at the MLB level and they have played key roles in crucial moments this season. Add in the fact that Albert Almora Jr. filled in nicely in Chicago while Rob Zastryzny, Spencer Patton, and Felix Pena have all played roles, and it was a productive season doing what a AAA team is supposed to do: produce players to help the big league club.
On the other hand, the season back in Des Moines was a devastating one for other reasons.
