←  2023 Seasons

The 2024 Chicago Cubs season is the 153rd season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 149th in the National League, and the Cubs' 109th season at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are led by first-year manager Craig Counsell and play as members of Major League Baseball's National League Central.

Contents

Previous season

The Cubs finished the 2023 season 83–79 to finish in second place in the Central division, nine games behind the Brewers. [1] After being in position for a wild card spot through most of August and September, the Cubs finished one game out of the final wild card spot. [2] It marked the third consecutive season they failed to make the playoffs.

Offseason

Coaching changes

On November 6, 2023, the Cubs fired manager David Ross after four seasons. [3] Craig Counsell, who had managed the Milwaukee Brewers for the previous nine years, was named the new manager on the same day in a surprising move. [4] There had been no prior indications that the Cubs would fire Ross or were interested in hiring Counsell. [5] The Cubs gave Counsell a contract for five years at $8 million per year, making him the highest paid manager in MLB history. [6]

On January 2, 2024, the Cubs named Ryan Flaherty the team's bench coach. [7] Other new coaches included Darren Holmes as the bullpen coach, Mark Strittmatter as major league field coordinator, and assistant hitting coach John Mallee, who had previously been the Cubs' hitting coach from 2015 to 2017. [7]

Season summary

March

  • March 9 – The Cubs announced that Justin Steele would be the Opening Day starting pitcher. [14]
  • March 28 – The Cubs opened the season on the road against the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers. Justin Steele allowed one run in 4.2 innings and left with what was termed as left hamstring tightness. With the game tied at two in the top of the ninth, newly acquired Michael Busch scored from second on a wild pitch that replays showed was a foul ball. Adbert Alzolay gave up a tying homer in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings. In the 10th, Jonah Heim singled in the winning run for the Rangers as the Cubs lost 4–3. [15] Steele was later placed on the injured list and was expected to miss at least a month. [16]
  • March 30 – After a scheduled off day, the Cubs took an early lead off a two-run home run by Dansby Swanson in the second, but Kyle Hendricks surrendered five runs in 3.2 innings of work. Ben Brown gave up six runs in 1.2 innings as the Cubs were blown out by the Rangers 11–2. [17]
  • March 31 – In the finale of the opening series on Easter, Christopher Morel hit a three-run home run in the first to give the Cubs an early lead. Jordan Wicks surrendered the lead twice, allowing five runs in four innings. However, the Cub bullpen held the Rangers scoreless in five innings. With the game tied at five in the ninth, Ian Happ, who had four hits on the day, took a bases loaded walk to give the Cubs a one-run lead. Seiya Suzuki followed with a two-RBI single as the Cubs beat the Rangers 9–5 to start the season 1–2. [18]

April

  • April 1 – A day later, the Cubs opened the home portion of the regular season against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field.

Rockie outfielder Nolan Jones missed the ground ball, allowing the ball to roll to the wall. Two runs scored on the play and a bad throw by Jones allowed Morel to come all the way around for a 3–0 lead. A Cody Bellinger two-run single in the seventh finished the scoring as the Cubs won 5–0. [19]
