Epstein re-signed with the club on September 28, 2016, with a five-year contract estimated to be worth up to $25 million. The Cubs finished the 2016 season with a 103–58 record, the best in MLB and their best since the 1910 season. In the playoffs, they defeated the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS. The Cubs proceeded to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, winning their first pennant since the 1945 season breaking the so-called "Curse of the Billy Goat" and sending them to the World Series. The Cubs then won their first World Series championship since 1908 when they defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games.
