    Without question, it's Jason Heyward. Going into the 2016 offseason, he was the most coveted free agent, and the Cubs ponied up large, signing him to an eight year $184 million deal. Okay, the Cubs won the World Series in '16, and J-Hey was credited with giving "the Speech" that motivated them to win. However, beyond that his on-field stats were terrible! How many times did he strikeout, popup, or ground out to second base? - Too many. His contract soon became an albatross! The dollars were so huge and his stats were so bad that they couldn't get rid of him,. And I would say this hampered the Cubs in signing players, especially during the "losses of biblical proportion" years. Listen, he's a good guy. Great in the community and in the clubhouse, but as a player, he was a huge disappointment and hamstrung the Cubs lineup for too many seasons.

    Zach Lavine hands down. Traded Butler for him and Lauri. Then got rid of Lauri to keep him and pay him. I was always a fan and thought he would take the next step. But all he does is sulk and make excuses when things don’t go well. He’s the definition of a diva. He’s still “good”, but not as good as he thinks he is. Lonzo was the perfect point for Zach, but we’ll never know.

    Zach Lavine because they traded away Jimmy Butler for him no leadership, inconsistent play, and all this is before the max deal the Bulls signed. Now he’s got his money a no show down the stretch in games. Plus he’s sensitive holding grudges from a year ago 1:16

      Zach was not a bad return for Jimmy. We got Lauri, Zach, and Kris Dunn plus a pick for Jimmy. We needed to get rid of Jimmy and he wanted out. Zach is a sad turnout, but he has his high moments especially when we were at the 1 seed with Lonzo. Zach was probably your favorite player doing crazy dunks during that stretch. Lonzo was the key, and losing him meant losing the resources that Zach needed. Bulls front office is the reason why Zach wants out of Chicago

    With a lot of disappointing stars to choose from, I am going with Addison Russell. IMO he is one of the biggest disappointments in Cubs history. From his rapid decline on the field to his personal issues off the field. Yes, he was part of the championship team but he never lived up to the player many of us thought the Cubs were getting when they traded away Shark.

    He’s a great person, but the signing of Jason Heyward - the largest contract in Cubs history when it happened - couldn’t have been more exciting. We took him from the Cardinals, after he’d hit .293 & stole 20+ bases for the third time in four years. Thank goodness for his speech, which distracted from his .100 average in the 2016 postseason. That contract and roster spot hamstrung the Cubs.

    To me it's Eddie Jackson. He was arguably the best safety in the league in 2018, and in that year he had so many clutch plays to help the Bears win. The reason it was so disappointing was that set me up to always expect him to make a play when we needed it, like maybe he was the new Mike Brown. Each game starting from 2019 has either been hoping he'll make one of those plays or he's not even in the game because of injury. I still love Eddie but after that 2018 season it's been so disappointing.

    Mitch Trubisky was a “star”based on his pick position in the draft, and going to a “charter” franchise.

    Justin Fields. For how much this city hypes up such a mediocre player, he sure has disappointed in both how much he loses, as well as how bad his stats always are. His best games are the worst games good QBs in the league have. His worst games are some of the worst in franchise history, yet people still hype him up like he's good. It's insane and honestly, I hate dealing with his fans. I can't wait until he's gone so people can stop being cultish about a bad player that doesn't win.

    Yoan Moncada. He was the very first one back in 2017 or whatever year it was to have his heralded debut at Comiskey. Total excitement, buzz in the stands that night, as his debut singled the beginning of what was supposed to be a very exciting time on the South Side. Well we all know how that turned out. Good athlete, but constantly hurt, and just doesn’t seem to have any passion for baseball-maybe he’s too busy making music videos. One good year in 2019. Hopefully bye bye Moncada once and for all this offseason.

    Kap, I can name too many. Lot of QBs, some baseball guys that just did not hold themselves to the standard that we brought them in for, but the worst has got to be Patrick Williams. I know the kids not a "star" but man did we expect and invest in him like he was the second coming of Kawhi Leonard.
    Seriously, who uses their sacred #4 pick on a guy who comes off the bench IN COLLEGE. I'm sure you remember, the Bulls kept getting the #7 pick year after year after year, so finally we got a top 4 pick and we used it on a guy that NO ONE KNEW. I remember being upset at draft night and having to google this kid.
    I have never seen a Franchise like the Bulls make such a risky move, stick by it for so long, and watch it pan out like Eddy Curry, Marcus Frazier, and Jay Williams. At least those busts had impressive college or HS experience, so it made sense to get them at #4. But Patrick Williams is the first time I've seen a bench player with little signs of achievement get selected that high up. What a disappointment that to this day is still holding us back.
    I can get started on Zach, but it does not even compare. At least with Zach, you can get value in return for him. With Patrick Williams, you might get a Portillo hotdog with french fries back...

    As a huge White Sox fan its gotta be either Yoan Moncada or Eloy Jimenez. So I'll just say both for this question. They were highly rated prospects and were seen as the cornerstones of the rebuild. Unfortunately, neither of them can stay healthy and from what I've heard from your friends McGuffey and Garfein, they are both clubhouse cancers who lack the work ethic and dedication it takes. Instead they've relied on their talent alone to coast by with massively disappointing results. So much potential wasted.
