Summary: The Cubs bid farewell to three core players at the 2021 trade deadline -- Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, and Anthony Rizzo -- and also waved goodbye to Kyle Schwarber after the 2020 season. These four players were crucial to the team's success, but after a great run in 2015-17 there were plenty of ups and downs. Sam and Matt explain why the Cubs were correct to move on while also grading the 2022 campaign for each player with their new team.
