[QUOTE="IanKEvans2, post: 1182090, member: 12945"] Optimism abound for the 2016 season! A third place finish in the NL Central at 97-65 netted the Cubs the second wild card. Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta beat the Pirates in the wild card game, and the bats came around for a home run parade to beat the Cardinals in the NLDS, before falling to the Mets in the NLCS. All in all, a fantastic year for the young Cubs. The most notable offseason transactions were OF Jason Heyward, INF/OF Ben Zobrist, and RHP John Lackey. The ever-divisive 2B/SS Starlin Castro was traded to the New York Yankees for RHP Adam Warren. The latest signing, and possibly the most fun of the offseason is former Blue Jays cult hero, INF Munenori Kawasaki (to a minor league deal). Pitchers and catchers report on February 19th!
