Chicago Cubs: Looking into the crystal ball

t would surprise nobody to see Garcia arrive at South Bend or Myrtle Beach by next season at the latest. My bet is Myrtle Beach, assuming the production continues and Garcia shows a mature ability for his age to play baseball and be good.

Current second baseman Addison Russell hits ARB 4 in 2021 however nobody knows what the brass will do with him when the time comes. Javier Baez is also in a similar situation, hitting ARB 3 in 2021. The expected reality is Báez will be with the team for the long haul while they move on from Russell.

If this happens, it may open a massive door for Garcia to make a splash. Despite that estimated time of arrival at 2023, Garcia will be in Chicago much sooner if he continues to grow and progress at this level of production. The future is a fun one for Cubs fans with Garcia in the mix.
