I know what you’re going to say about this article, so let me say this before I begin.
I am well aware that the Chicago Cubs are nine games out of the NL Central lead entering Monday’s action with 69 games remaining and are currently listed with a 4.8 percent chance of making the postseason. I know that this season is likely going to end with the Cubs trading off many current players and the team watching the playoffs with the rest of us, on TV. Trades are likely to come. Why am I not writing about those?
