With the new year underway, everyone has goals for 2024. As for Mallory Pugh and Dansby Swanson, they will doubtless have targets themselves. While personal goals can be tough to ascertain, professional ones are there to see, particularly for elite athletes.
Pugh will be looking to lead the Chicago Red Stars to a much better season in 2024. The Stars finished 12th in the NSWL after going 7-3-12. While the only way from the bottom of the table is up, Pugh and company will be looking to show the league what they are really capable of in 2024.
Pugh, who has scored 32 goals in 88 games for the USA, has the ability to make a huge difference for Chicago and will be intent on doing just that.
As for Swanson, the Chicago Cubs shortstop will be aiming for a postseason berth. The Cubs went 83-79 in 2023, finishing behind the Milwaukee Brewers in second place in the NL Central. With a few additions and a bit of luck, the Cubs will be confident of making a push for the playoffs and seeing where they can go from there.
