This season the Chicago Cubs are good. The Cub’s standings at this time show they are trying very hard. At least they have exceeded what their preseason expectations were so far.

The Cubs have several free agents on their team, and they will be on the market when this season is over. If the Cubs continue to win games and are over .500, they would be in a great position to win their division.

If this is what happens, they will try to keep their free agents.

There is a lot of talent on this team. If this team is doing well at the end of July, there will be more focus on the future of this baseball team and keeping their talented players.

It is very true. The Chicago Cubs have exceeded their expectations this season. Over the last few days, one thing is for certain. The Cubs keep beating the Cardinals.

There is no talent on this team, and hopefully, the team will not lose many of their top players this season.
