Are the Chicago Cubs better off now than they were two years ago before the Summer Sell-Off? Read PWSullivan’s latest column.
The narrative that the Chicago Cubs are facing an Aug. 1 deadline to decide on their future has been bandied about recently, and it makes sense considering two of their biggest stars can leave as free agents at the end of the season.
Hoyer can also sleep well knowing that none of the Big Three stars he traded — Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Báez — have come back to haunt him. Injuries have curtailed Bryant’s career in Colorado, Baez’s .321 slugging percentage in Detroit is fourth-worst among qualified hitters, and Rizzo ranks 105th this season with a 1.0 WAR.
Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ, two players from the ’21 Cubs who Hoyer made a financial commitment to, both have struggled in what’s considered by most a do-or-die July for the team.
