The Chicago Cubs made a serious win-now move during the offseason, signing third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract.
This signing was meant to show the National League that the Cubs are ready to compete for a championship. That, unfortunately, hasn’t gone to plan thus far.
After 20 games, the Cubs are just 11-9, and what was thought to be a weak NL Central has Chicago sitting at the bottom of the division.
