We’ve seen Cubs teams come from nowhere to contend, as they memorably did during playoff seasons in 1984, 1989, 1998 and 2003. For this edition to pull off a surprise, it needs veterans Kyle Hendricks, Jason Heyward and Ian Happ to have rebound seasons after poor showings in 2021; Stroman and Suzuki to be the game-changers the Cubs are betting on; Frank Schwindel and Patrick Wisdom to pick up where they left off; and young players such as Justin Steele, Keegan Thompson, Nick Madrigal, Clint Frazier and Nico Hoerner to take big steps forward.
