Cubs Opening Day preview 2022
David Ross wants to win the World Series for the Chicago Cubs. The bulk of the core of 2016 World Champion team has been dismantled. A pile of prospects has also been brought in. The team's president of baseball operations, Jed Hoyer, wants a competitive team in 2022.
The Cubs lost 91 games in 21.
The Cubs need to improve their pitching, defense and offense. Jason Heyward's performance in the center field will be under the microscope. Willson Contreras is the team's MVP. The team won the National League's Team Gold Glove Award two seasons ago. The player who will win the award is Willon Contresras. He is in his final year of contract and is a prime trade candidate. His contract is worth $22 million in each of the '22-23 seasons. It's possible he could be traded. Chicago needs to win more games. They need more young players to perform well.
