In year 3 the Red Sox didn't even make the playoffs.
The Cubs are still the cream of the crop in the NL. They just need to stop ****ing around with the leadoff hitter. It's pretty clear what they've been missing since 2016 and that is the production that Fowler provided in the #1 spot. The only way they've been able to keep getting production from that spot is by dicking around with putting guys like Bryant and Rizzo there which completely ****s up the middle of the lineup where you would want those guys to be hitting.
I can't believe they weren't in on Mallex Smith. They have ties with Tampa and he just went for a package they could have easily afforded.

I realize to a Cub fan that one World Series win feels like a dynasty, but the rest of us have a considerably higher standard.
You keep stating they are the cream of the crop of the NL, yet the Dodgers have won the NLCS back to back.
They were loaded with expectations for their prospects, but that luster has dimmed considerably. They could still win it all, certainly in the discussion as baseball is a funny game, but they have have a lot of things go right to start talking dynasty.
