This morning’s headline on the Chicago Cubs‘ homepage reads, “Still Searching For Answers.” After dropping another series, this time to the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers, the Cubs now sit 11.5 games behind and dead last in what was labeled a “winnable” division to begin 2024. They have also fallen five games behind in the Wild Card race. Justin Steele’s words didn’t even resonate for 24 hours.
Disappointing feels like an understatement. Obstinance from leadership feels close but not quite there.
