When looking at the 2016 Chicago Cubs, finding more than a few flaws is no easy task. After all, a team that wins a championship generally doesn’t have too many issues. On the other hand, though, last season’s team was not perfect by any means.
Looking at the team as a whole, one player sticks out for failing to meet expectations placed on him entering last season. Jason Heyward signed an eight-year, $184 million deal last winter. The Cubs expected him to provide elite defense and baserunning, also holding down a spot at the top of their lineup.
