The Chicago Cubs aren’t just looking for a divisional title this season. The club is looking for their first World Series title since 2016.
That comes right from the lips of Chicago’s superstar right fielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker believes that Chicago has the highest of ceilings and can do something special this season.

“The ceiling is winning the World Series,” Tucker said on Cubs Live. “That was our goal, coming into the season, going into spring training. I think we still have a really good shot at that. We have a really good team. Hopefully we can all come together as a group at the end of the year healthy and playing well, and you know, get that job done.”
Tucker has appeared in three World Series in his career, all with the Houston Astros. He has one ring to show for it, and he knows what it takes to get to the fall classic.
For Tucker and the Cubs, this season has always been about finding ways to win and ultimately winning the World Series.
“Our goal coming in was to win a World Series,” Tucker said. “And, you know, try and come out and play every game hard and try and win every single game. We don’t want to just kind of show up and play and go home at the end of the day, and whether we win or lose, not really care. We want to come out and play well and put on a show for these fans and win games for them. I mean, if you don’t want to do that, I don’t see the point of showing up at the park.”
Chicago has done exactly that so far this season, as it currently has a 44-26 record and 5 1/2 game division lead headed into a three-game series against the second place Milwaukee Brewers.
Tucker has done his part this season, as he has a .277 average, 13 doubles, 13 home runs, 43 RBIs and a .893 OPS. Those numbers are the reason why Tucker has received the most votes of any right fielder in the National League for this season’s All-Star game.
With continued success from not only Tucker, but the entire Cubs lineup as a whole, Chicago has an excellent chance of making a deep postseason run toward the World Series.
