Way to go cubs! Props to you. twitter.com/cubs/status/15… Overall, a tough series loss at home for the Chicago Cubs as they continue to struggle in 2022. The Cubs will now face off against another rival, the Milwaukee Brewers, this weekend in Milwaukee. The first pitch for tomorrow's game is scheduled for 8:10 PM EDT. Chicago Cubs What will the team do to build for 2023 This is the second season the Cubs have struggled after trading away or letting go of many key players in free agency. These include the likes of Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, and others. Going into this year's deadline, many thought the Cubs would trade away their two best players: Ian Happ and Willson Contreras. This did not happen. Instead, the Cubs held onto both Contreras and Happ as the team continued to struggle. Contreras may have been the biggest surprise, given that he is set to hit free agency in the off-season. What are the Cubs' plans for the future? Are they rebuilding? Are they looking to build around Happ and Contreras? These are many of the questions Cubs fans are asking as the off-season rapidly approaches. The team may need to rebuild in preparation for the future while also trying to compete by adding several free agents. Chicago has a big enough market that the Cubs should never have to go through a rebuild. The free agent class in 2023 is full of impactful players, and the organization certainly has the payroll flexibility to sign a few. The question will be: Will the Ricketts family be willing?
