That second opportunity came with the Chicago Cubs, where after an 18-17 record, he led the National League in Wins (26), Innings Pitched (309.0), and was fourth in MVP voting in his 1927 season. Root would never have another year like that again, but he would have six more 15 Win seasons with MVP votes coming his way in three other years.
He never left the Cubs until he retired in 1941 with an overall record of 201-160.
