[QUOTE="LongLiveTheChief, post: 1651221, member: 748361"] The team didn’t live up to expectations. The Cubs haven’t been one piece away from the World Series. They’ve barely done anything since 2016. Let’s not act like this is all just because they didn’t spend. Players didn’t execute. Hard to keep winning when the players don’t execute. There’s no player they could’ve signed that would’ve gotten them a second World Series. They never got that close. Let’s stop blaming a lack of spending for what happened here. The Cubs peaked in 2016. The stars aligned. Everyone played their best year. No way to predict what happened with Russell or that nobody would have good seasons at the same time again. It happens. This is the smart thing to do because a lot of these guys are nearly MLB ready so they may even be setting up to be good in 2-3 years again, while hendricks is still here, maybe Contreras if they extend him. This is what retooling actually looks like. They won’t be terrible next year. [/QUOTE]
