Schwarber will remain a Cub

Even if the Cubs and Yankees discuss it, it’s likely not going to happen. Considering what Schwarber has done–and with the odds against him, last year–the Cubs will give him this year to work things out. Is there a chance that he doesn’t stay a Cub forever? Sure there is. But Epstein and the front office believe in him. We didn’t expect to see him when we did, he just refused to leave by hitting the s#*! of the ball.

And even after destroying his knee, he came back to lead the Cubs to a World Series win–one that absolutely doesn’t happen without him. The Cubs made the right choice to hold onto him last season. The Cubs will make the same choice this year. What happens beyond this season will be up to Schwarber.
