Chicago Cubs: Dansby Swanson lands spot near the bottom of ESPN’s top 100 list
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is entering Year Four of the seven-year contract that he signed with the team ahead of the 2023 MLB season. Since arriving in Chicago, Swanson has made an All-Star team, won a Gold Glove, and has provided stability at one of the most important defensive positions on the field.
He may not be the biggest star on the team, but he also does not have to be. Indeed, Swanson benefits from being in a lineup that does not require him to carry the team, offensively or defensively. That being said, he also is no slouch.
In fact, he is still considered to be one of the best players in baseball.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson lands on ESPN’s top 100 list
ESPN recently released a list of their top 100 players in Major League Baseball. Several Cubs players found their names on the list, including Swanson, who came in at number 82:
“Believe it or not, but in three seasons for the Cubs, Swanson has put up almost as much bWAR as he did during seven seasons in Atlanta — 14.9 (Braves) vs. 13.6 (Cubs). His performance in Chicago so far has more than justified the club’s faith that the value spike he enjoyed in his final Atlanta season represented a legit level of play and not just a career season.
“Swanson strikes out a lot and always will, but he’s reliably league average at the plate. When you add in the value he brings on the bases and his role anchoring Chicago’s airtight infield defense, you’ve got a winning player whom the Cubs have been able to build around.”
Swanson’s 24 home runs in 2025 were his most in any of his three seasons with Chicago. That being said, his .300 on base percentage was also his lowest. The Cubs will need him to, at least, trim down on his strikeouts a little.
That being said, he still is one of the best shortstops in the game and his Gold Glove-caliber defense justifies putting him in the lineup day in and day out.
