It’s time for the Chicago Cubs to come clean.
The Chicago Cubs must come clean to their fans and be entirely transparent about the extent of their pending “rebuild.” If they don’t, they run the risk of alienating a large portion of their fanbase who may not return to the same extent they otherwise would if the team was honest about their intentions.
For starters, it is clear the Cubs are entering a full-on rebuild. While there may have been a school of thought that the Cubs could attempt to “reload” similar to what the New York Yankees did a few years ago when they dealt Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs, and stayed competitive, the North Siders latest move signals that is not going to be the case.
