In 2018, their first year as a team, the Dogs' manager was Butch Hobson. Former Chicago White Sox minor league pitcher Josh Goossen-Brown was the first player signed by the Chicago Dogs. They finished the season in fourth place (out of six teams) in the American Association North Division, with a win–loss record of 45–54.[7]
2019edit
In 2019, Carlos Zambrano joined the Dogs' roster. Zambrano had pitched in the major leagues for 12 years, most of them as a member of the Chicago Cubs.[8] Butch Hobson continued to serve as the team's manager.[9] Keon Barnum would set a league record in 2019, hitting 31 home runs, which broke a record that was held since 2013. (C.J. Ziegler of Wichita) The Dogs finished the season in third place in the North Division, with a record of 59–40.[10]
2020edit
In 2020, the Dogs competed as one of six league teams in a condensed 60-game season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] They were originally slated to play home games at Franklin Field (home of the Milwaukee Milkmen) due to capacity restrictions for outdoor events in Illinois.[12] However, these restrictions were lifted on June 26 (as the state officially moved into Phase 4 of their reopening plan, allowing for outdoor spectator sports to resume at limited capacity) and thus enabled the Dogs to play all their home games at Impact Field.[13]
2021edit
Chicago finished 1st in the East Division with a record of 54-46. The Dogs clinched their first regular season division title and playoff berth in franchise history. Chicago lost the Divisional series to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks.
