There has been ample crossover between the two long-standing franchises, with 98 players having proudly donned both jerseys over the decades.

This intersection may prove challenging, as at the time of writing, only 52% of players got this intersection correct in their first attempt.

Due to recency, one of the first names that comes to mind for the Cubs-Mariners intersection of the Sept. 4 MLB Immaculate Grid is Tommy La Stella. A former All-Star, La Stella was acquired by the Seattle Mariners only last offseason. He played only 12 games for the club before being released in May.

The most successful phase of his career, by some distance, was with the Cubs where he spent four seasons (2015-18), winning the World Series in 2016.

Another current free agent springs to mind for this intersection, and that’s Anthony Bass. The right-hander was released by the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this season following social media controversies.

Bass has played for seven major league franchises since his MLB debut in 2011. He spent one season each with the Cubs (2018) and Mariners (2019).
