Maddon will not be given a new contract after this fail. Time to also overhaul the core. Would be a good time to sell high on Schwarber and Bryant.

If you wanted to sell high on Schwarber, the time was at the Winter Meetings right after the World Series victory. Now he's just a decent HR hitter with a low average and poor defense.

Most frustrating part about all of this is that the season was essentially thrown away before it even started.
The team choked massively down the stretch last year and major changes were needed. So what did Theo and Jed do? Brought back essentially the exact same team. Who could’ve predicted this is how it was all going to play out again except for everybody?

People in charge thought it was an anomaly.

Darvish-Chatwood-Morrow tri-signing was pretty much a disaster. Only Darvish at times this year looked like it might be OK. How they signed Morrow after his injury track record is beyond me. And to go three years without a leadoff hitter to speak of while carrying multiple assets that could have been moved to fill that slot without another expensive free agent contract.
Thank the maker that we have a World Series during our lifetime.

My personal preference would be a clean slate top to bottom. Need to unload the entire clubhouse over the next 2-3 years, accumulate young talent again, and build up through the draft. No one is untouchable even Rizzo. Maddon never has had any success managing a team with expectations. He’s always been better in an underdog role. Epstein needs to fall on the axe and GTFO. His FA decisions have been atrocious.

Kimbrel for Jansen? Dude has sucked for 3 seasons now, and cost the Dodgers a ring. Perfect Cubbie material.

His FA decisions have been atrocious. Theo's never been able to go back-to-back. There's gotta be some changes. Never understood why they only kept Fowler(Lead-off) for 1 year..
