Schwarber was non-tendered by the Cubs on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
All signs point to the Cubs embracing a rebuild, so they opted not to pay a left fielder/designated hitter for past performance in arbitration. He has always mashed righties, but he probably fits best as a DH who can sit against southpaws. Schwarber hit .188 in 224 plate appearances last season, but he hit .250/.339/.531 with 38 home runs in 2019 and is only turning 28 in March.
