Cubs fan here.
Reality bites sometimes.
Bryant sucks. He had one good year. I'd trade his ass but doubt you would get much of anything.
They made a huge mistake not keeping Castellanos, he and Baez are the two guys I would actually build around. I like Contreras, but he should be a full time DH.
Schwarber, Almora, and Nico, are just dudes. Rizzo is a nice player, but I don't think he is a super star.
As for the pitching staff, Theo has botched it from day one. I'm fine with Lester. He did what he was supposed to do. Hendricks has never bothered me either. But signing Darvish, Chatwood, and trading for this Quintana were train wrecks. I'd feel better about the Cubs if Eloy Jiménez was playing the outfield for them.
