they have four guys who are up for contract soon

rizzo, baez, bryant and contreras

some are calling them the Core Four

they won the world series for us

the owners dont want to pay all of them and would rather not let the pretty boy mvp go, but his price might be the highest.

theyd love to give the catcher away but theres not a viable backup to replace him yet

they cant really give away the cancer survivor first baseman

and the shortstop is the most exciting player in baseball who doesnt also pitch

so all of them are going to try extra hard to prove how much people should pay them

so they will be awesome, except maybe for javy who will just swing at everything and strike out a lot.

the cubs will be a first place team again

but their pitching will let them down.
