What happened: The Cubs unveiled a new championship gate at Wrigley Field, bringing back their 2016 front office — led by then-president Theo Epstein — along with most of the players from that World Series-winning roster. The gathering coincided with the club marking the 10th anniversary of that title.
Why it matters: The 2016 championship ended a 108-year title drought for the franchise, and the reunion underscores how central that team remains to Cubs identity. It comes as the current roster sits well back of that era's success amid trade-deadline speculation around the current bullpen.
By the numbers: The Cubs are 48-43 this season, having gone 1-4 over their last five games and currently riding a one-game losing streak.
What to watch: Watch for additional details on anniversary programming tied to the gate's unveiling.
