The 2022 Chicago Cubs season was the 151st season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 147th in the National League, and the Cubs' 107th season at Wrigley Field. The Cubs were managed by David Ross, in his third year as Cubs manager as members of Major League Baseball's National League Central. The Cubs began the season at home against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 1 and finished the season on the road against the Cincinnati Reds on October 5. With their loss on September 17, the Cubs were officially eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season. ^[1] The Cubs finished the season 74–88, 19 games out of first place.

Previous season

The Cubs finished the 2021 season 71–91 to finish in fourth place in the Central Division failing to make the playoffs for only the second time since 2014. The season also marked the first time since 2014 that the Cubs finished with a losing record and the first time since 2013 that the Cubs lost at least 91 games. ^[2]

Offseason

Front office changes

On October 15, 2021, the Cubs announced they had hired the assistant general manager for the Cleveland Guardians, Carter Hawkins, as the team's new general manager. ^[3] On October 25, the club announced they had hired Ehsan Bokhari as assistant GM. ^[4]

Coaching changes

On March 11, 2022, the Cubs announced that manager David Ross had signed a three-year contract extension through the 2024 season with an option for 2025. ^[5]

Hitting coach Anthony Iapoce was fired following the season. ^[6] Shortly thereafter, the team hired Tampa Bay minor league hitting coordinator Greg Brown as the new hitting coach. ^[7] On November 15, 2021, the Cubs announced they had parted ways with associate pitching, catching, and strategy coach Mike Borzello. ^[8] Additionally, assistant director Brad Mills departed the team. ^[8] The team further named Daniel Moskos as the new assistant pitching coach. ^[8] Johnny Washington was later named assistant hitting coach. ^[9]

Lockout

Main article: 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place. ^[10] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades. ^{[11] [12]}

The Cubs officially signed three players, including free agent pitcher Marcus Stroman, prior to the lockout being put in place. ^[13]

On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. ^{[14] [15]} Although MLB previously announced that several series would be canceled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders. ^[16]

Rule changes

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season: ^{[17] [18]}

• the National League will adopt the designated hitter;
• a draft lottery will be implemented;
• the postseason will expand from 10 to 12 teams; and
• advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.

Due to the shortened season as a result of the lockout, MLB instituted temporary rules for the 2022 season including increasing roster size to 28 through May 1 and starting extra innings with a runner on second base. ^[19]

Season summary

April

• April 2 – The Cubs announced that Kyle Hendricks would be the Opening Day starting pitcher for the third consecutive season. ^[30]
• April 7 – The Cubs opened the season at Wrigley Field against division rival Milwaukee. Ian Happ had three hits and drove in two runs while Nico Hoerner hit his first home run since 2019 as the Cubs beat the Brewers 5–4. Kyle Hendricks allowed one run in 5.1 innings while David Robertson got the save. ^[31]
• April 9 – Following a rain out the day before, the Cubs faced the Brewers in the second game of the series. Justin Steele pitched five scoreless innings and three relievers held the Brewers hitless as the Cubs won 9–0. New Cub Seiya Suzuki drove in three runs while Happ had two hits and two RBI in the win. The Brewers hit three Cub batters in the game leading to Cub pitcher Keegan Thompson retaliating and hitting Andrew McCutchen. This led to the benches clearing and Thompson getting ejected. ^[32]
• April 10 – In the final game of the series, new Cub Marcus Stroman pitched five innings and allowed only one run. The Cubs scored three runs in the first on a three-run SeiyaSuzuki home run. However, the Cub bullpen struggled, giving up a 3–1 lead and the go-ahead run after the Cubs had tied the game at four. The 5–4 loss marked the Cubs' first loss of the season. ^[33]
• April 12 – After an off day, the Cubs traveled to face the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Seiya Suzuki hit two solo home runs while Drew Smyly continued the Cubs' starting pitchers success, allowing no runs in five innings. The Pirates managed only one run as the Cubs held on for the 2–1 win. ^[34]
• April 13 – The Cubs' string of good starting pitching ended as Kyle Hendricks gave up six runs in 3.2 innings. Willson Contreras homered and Seiya Suzuki drove in a run, but the Cubs could do nothing further as they lost to the Pirates 6–2. ^[35]
• April 14 – The Cubs traveled to Denver to face the Rockies for a four-game series. Seiya Suzuki drove in a run with an RBI double to extend his hit streak to six games while Frank Schwindel homered and drove in two runs as the Cubs beat the Rockies 5–2. Justin Steele allowed two runs in 4.1 innings, but Keegan Thompson pitched 3.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win. Mychal Givens pitched the ninth to earn his first save in the win. ^[36]
• April 15 – In game two of the series against the Rockies, the Cubs jumped to an early 3–0 lead on RBI singles by Alfonso Rivas and Rafael Ortega. Willson Contreras also drove in a run on a double. However, Marcus Stroman gave up five runs in the fourth and the Rockies went on to win 6–5. ^[37]
• April 16 – Needing a fifth starter for the first time on the season, Mark Leiter Jr. was called up for the start and surrendered seven runs in 3.1 innings as the Cubs fell behind big to the Rockies. Jonathan Villar drove in three runs as the Cubs narrowed the lead with four runs in the seventh, but it was not enough as the Cubs lost 9–6 to drop to .500 for the first time on the season. ^[38]
• April 17 – In the finale of the four-game series against the Rockies, Willson Contreras and Seiya Suzuki homered for the Cubs while Nico Hoerner drove in two as the Cubs won the game 6–4. Drew Smyly pitched well in 4.2 innings, allowing no runs in the win. ^[39]
