The 2021 version of the Chicago Cubs has a lot of question marks, but one thing that’s not a question is the nostalgic feel to this team that will make it at least a little bit more fun.

It was officially announced on Wednesday that the Cubs agreed to a one-year contract with Jake Arrieta for this season, as well as a minor league deal with Pedro Strop. Both pitchers were instrumental in helping the Cubs break the infamous World Series drought back in 2016.

Cub fans have grown impatient with the leveling out that this team has done since then, and with the trade of Yu Darvish, fans need something to be excited about.
