Chicago Cubs Tickets

The Chicago Cubs play their home games at Wrigley Field.

While the rivalry between these two teams doesn't necessarily get the publicity that the Yankees and Red Sox's rivalry has, it's every bit as good. Another big rival of the Cubs are their crosstown rival Chicago White Sox, who play their home games on the city's south side at Guarantee Rate Field.

In addition to Jackie Robinson's #42, which is retired league-wide, the Chicago Cubs have retired six numbers worn by legendary players in the franchise's history. Hall of Fame third baseman Ron Santo's #10 is retired, as is two-time MVP and Hall of Fame infielder Ernie Banks's #14. Hall of Fame infielder Ryne Sandberg's #23 is retired, as well as Hall of Fame outfielder and first baseman Billy Williams's #26. The Cubs have also retired the number #31, which was worn by two legendary Hall of Fame pitchers during their time in Chicago in Ferguson Jenkins and Greg Maddux.

The Cubs have some great prospects down on the farm that should be able to help out the big league club sooner rather than later, and that group is led by lefty pitcher Brailyn Marquez, who can top out at over 100 miles per hour with his fastball and should be a valuable piece either in the back end of Chicago's starting rotation or even as a high leverage reliever if they break him in in the bullpen. Another top prospect of theirs is their former 2018 2nd round pick, Brennen Davis, who projects to be a dynamic outfielder with a good hit tool that should be up in the majors no later than 2022. Catching prospect Miguel Amaya could be the heir apparent at the position for Chicago if Willson Contreras if the current star backstop at Wrigley Field moves on to play a different position for the team. Amaya is known as a good fielder with good hit and power tools for the position.

The Cubs are now four full seasons removed from their magical World Series title in 2016, but plenty of core pieces from that roster like Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Kyle Hendricks, and Jake Arrieta, who was brought back this offseason in free agency after a three-year stint in Philly. While the division they play in is crowded, with St. Louis and Milwaukee looking like contenders and Cincinnati looking much better, Chicago still has some top end talent that could pace them throughout the 2021 season and have them competing deep into October.

The manager of the Cubs is David Ross, their former backup catcher on the World Series-winning 2016 team. Ross is entering his second season on the job, which is his first job at skipper in the Major Leagues. He managed the team to the Wild Card round during last year's shortened season before falling to the Marlins, but Ross is a highly-respected baseball mind who should lead this franchise to success in the years to come.
