Someone on Twitter put together a chart that showed (on paper, of course) where teams stacked up in terms of WAR and how much WAR teams would have to add to be considered a threat to make the postseason. He showed the Cubs are 7 WAR away from being in the playoff discussion and that Swanson would likely add ~3 WAR. So...still quite a bit of work to do to even be in the discussion. The Yankees were off the charts in terms of WAR, btw, and the Cubs are light years behind all of the elite teams.
