Showing possession in sports teams

I think I'm confusing myself, but I'd like to know the correct way to edit something like this:

The Cubs pitcher set a new world record.

Cubs is the name of the team. Cubs ends in s. Is the team considered plural? If so, should the correct way to edit this be: Cubs' pitcher ??

Of course, this would apply to Tigers, Saints, etc.
