Column: How will this roller-coaster season end for the Chicago Cubs? It’s anyone’s guess.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:04:17 GMT

Or will his business sensibilities override his penchant for dreaming big?Like the “Save Ferris” campaign in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” Cubs players have engaged in a sort of guerilla campaign to “Save Belli” and “Save Stro,” hoping to keep Cody Bellinger and Marcus Stroman in the mix for a playoff push. If it works and they’re both still here Wednesday, the pressure will be on the players to avoid backslid...
