The Chicago Cubs faced a disappointing season, finishing without a playoff berth under manager Craig Counsell. However, the future looks promising with a strong group of veterans and a robust minor league system.

Eight players from the Cubs are featured in MLB Pipeline's top 100 prospects, including Matt Shaw, Owen Caissie, Cade Horton, and Moises Ballesteros, all expected to make an impact in the majors soon.

Newer prospects like Cam Smith and Jefferson Rojas also show potential, with Smith already in Double-A and Rojas making his debut in the rankings.
