Is Dansby Swanson living up to expectations for the Chicago Cubs?

1. First comment. You guys are my go to.

2. Dansby was a terrible failure this year. Just god awful. Of course he performed well when it didn’t matter at all.

3. I live in southeastern N.C. most people here are Braves fans so I've known about Dansby for a while. he's not Micky Mantle it's just not who he is, that being said he must hit better in 2025. Defense is great.

4. Another Jason Hayward

5. Is there any way to like make sure or keep tabs of people who can play well at Wrigley!? I’m referring to what Sam said about “ppls numbers are down due to Wrigley?!” I’m not sure how to take that when we all know, especially us fans how Wrigley is known as a home run friendly park, was it just the condition that kept the ball in the park or bad averages?! Not enough fans?! 😂🤷🏽‍♂️ basically I just wanna know where are the players that CAN perform well CONSISTENTLY at Wrigley 😫

6. He’s not as bad as Jason Hayward was, but this is starting to look like a bad long-term contract. I can see why the Cubs are apprehensive about doing these long term 6-8 year deals.

7. I kind of compare Dansby to Heyward when he was with the Cubs. Great Defense , high dollar, low production!!!!!!!..

8. Please, answer my question. If the Cubs are a major market team why do we perform like a small market team? Would Mark Cuban have made a difference because he put a bid in on the Cubs?

9. Overrated

10. Dansby was an F

11. Dansby Swanson it's October u ran out of time no urgency from you , My grade for him is D- get rid of him ,keep cody

12. They didn't hire Dansby for his bat. They paid for his defense and leadership.

13. Dansby Swanson is a career .252 hitter with a .732 OPS. 2024 he hit .242/.701. Besides his power numbers being down a bit, he was close to what he should be. It’s unreasonable to expect much more out of him.
