Kyle Schwarber Tweets ‘Thank You’ Note to Cubs Fans

When the news dropped on Wednesday that the Cubs were going to non-tender Kyle Schwarber, it didn’t come as a complete shock. We all knew there were going to be tough decisions made this offseason, which was part of the reason Theo Epstein stepped down a year before his contract expired.

Even so, it still felt like a gut-punch.

Schwarber tweeted out a thank-you to Cubs fans Thursday afternoon, which, of course he did. I often sat in the left-field bleachers, including several games with my young sons. Schwarber always waved to everyone emphatically and made sure the boys got a ball. The guy was a class act, and he’ll be missed.
