The Chicago Cubs have had a rough go of it lately. Things are not looking like they are going to get any easier as the 2022 season goes along. In fact, it is going to get much harder as certain players could be shipped out of town.
Going into Friday’s game against the defending World Series Champion Atlanta Braves, the Cubs had lost ten games in a row. It gets even worse because the Braves came in having won their last 14 games. Obviously, this is not the best matchup on paper for the Cubs right now.
