• Isaac Paredes Can Improve Results with ‘Simple’ Fix, Just Won’t Be Easy
Isaac Paredes was a bit of a disappointment following the surprising trade that brought him to Chicago in exchange for Christopher Morel, Hunter Bigge, and Ty Johnson, but the Cubs weren’t really counting on him to carry them into the postseason.

• 2024 Cubs final season grades

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024
