UNBELIEVABLE: “I’m living” Dansby Swanson has publicly announced his departure from the team, Chicago Cubs.

After much speculation and anticipation, Chicago Cubs star shortstop Dansby Swanson has announced that he will be leaving the team.

Swanson expressed his gratitude to the Cubs organization and the opportunity to play for the team in a media statement, but highlighted that the choice to depart was taken after careful study and in the best interests of his career.

“It was a difficult decision to leave the Cubs, but I believe that it is the right move for me at this stage of my career,” Swanson told the crowd.

Swanson, who played for the Cubs for two seasons and was largely considered as one of the organization’s most valued and promising players, cited a number of considerations in his decision to leave, including a desire to play for a more competitive team and to be closer to his family in Georgia.

“I had a great experience with the Cubs, and I will always be grateful for the time I spent with the team,” Swanson told reporters. “But I felt that it was time for me to explore new opportunities and take the next step in my career.”

Swanson’s departure from the Cubs is likely to leave a huge vacuum in the team’s lineup and defense, and many fans and commentators are already asking who will step up to replace the standout shortstop.

Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer was disappointed by Swanson’s decision to leave the franchise, but he also recognized the significance of respecting the player’s decisions.

“Dansby is a talented player and a great teammate, and we’re sorry to see him go,” Hoyer joked.
