With this winter’s imminent departures of Willson Contreras and Jason Heyward, only Kyle Hendricks will remain from the Cubs’ 2016 World Series roster.
And Hendricks’ health is anything but a certainty going forward after being shut down for the year midseason because of a capsular tear in his pitching shoulder. He’s expected to start playing catch sometime this month after multiple delays of that throwing program, and the Cubs maintain optimism that he’ll be healthy for the start of next season .The departures started almost immediately with some retirements and free agency after Game 7.
— Theo Epstein’s first draft pick as Cubs boss had the heads-up base-running play that led to the go-ahead run in the 10th inning of Game 7. He was non-tendered in the post-2020 roster purge. Almora played 64 games for the Reds this season before he was released by Cincinnati on Sept. 12.
