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

On September 21, the Cubs were eliminated from playoff contention for the fourth consecutive season after losing to the Washington Nationals. ^[1] The team finished the season with an 83–79 record, matching their record from the previous season. They finished the season in a tie for second place in the division with the St. Louis Cardinals, 10 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers.

Previous season

The Cubs finished the 2023 season 83–79 to finish in second place in the Central division, nine games behind the Brewers. ^[2] 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. ^[3] 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. ^[4] 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. ^[5] There had been no prior indications that the Cubs would fire Ross or were interested in hiring Counsell. ^[6] The Cubs gave Counsell a contract for five years at $8 million per year, making him the highest paid manager in MLB history. ^[7]

On January 2, 2024, the Cubs named Ryan Flaherty the team's bench coach. ^[8] 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. ^[8]

Season summary

March

• March 9 – The Cubs announced that Justin Steele would be the Opening Day starting pitcher. ^[15]
• 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. ^[16] Steele was later placed on the injured list and was expected to miss at least a month. ^[17]
• 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. ^[18]
• 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. ^[19]

April

• April 1 – A day later, the Cubs opened the home portion of the regular season against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field. Shōta Imanaga made his major league debut and threw six shutout innings while allowing only two hits and striking out nine. However, the game remained scoreless until the bottom of the sixth when Christopher Morel singled to left with runners on first and second. 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. ^[20]
• April 2 – In game two of the series against the Rockies, Javier Assad threw six scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the Cub offense pounded out 12 runs and 14 hits including home runs by Seiya Suzuki, Christopher Morel, Garrett Cooper, and Cody Bellinger.
