Why the Cubs' Offense is the Key to the Season
Since winning the World Series in 2016, the Cubs have been waiting for their offense to take the next step. It hasn't quite happened. Now, in the shortened 2020 season, and with the window on the 2016 core likely closing, the offense is key to the team's postseason hopes. Brett Taylor, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break it all down on this episode of Onto Waveland.
