5. David Bote

David Bote's first two seasons with the Cubs were pretty good, as he could play multiple positions, get on base, and looked like a suitable utility man to take up the torch from Ben Zobrist. But Bote's production fell off pretty hard after 2019. Mediocre defense and a batting average usually floating around .200 is not great for the program. Bote is still with the Cubs today as he was outrighted to Iowa in November. Hopefully, he can regain some of his former glory because he is a fun guy to watch when he's playing well. Even if he never makes it back to Wrigley Field, Bote will forever own one of the most electric hits in Cubs history, when he sent a walk-off grand slam to center field with two outs and two strikes while the Cubs were down by three runs. Truly a storybook moment.
