Cubs' Dansby Swanson is back in the lineup. Is he ready to start earning that superstar money again?

Dansby Swanson didn't hesitate to put it out there after showing up for his first spring training in Mesa, Arizona, in 2022. One, he wanted the Cubs — who'd signed the shortstop in free agency for $177 million over seven years — to be his team. If any player was going to embody the standards for all the Cubs in the big leagues as well as the prospects moving up the organizational ranks, it was going to be him. Over his last three seasons in Atlanta, from 2020 through 2022, Swanson had played in every single Braves game except for one, going 381 for 382 at answering the bell.
