Looking at fWAR, the Cubs have two players on pace to hit 3 fWAR for the season, Shota and Busch.
Not a great roster. They're playing the same game that all of the other Chicago teams play. They try to hang around playoff contention for as long as possible to keep selling tickets but they don't really care.
Ricketts will keep Jed because he won't want to pay two guys for the same job.
