The Chicago Cubs‘ lack of moves this offseason could have the most impact on the bullpen, where four key arms from 2019 have departed via free agency. Somehow, new manager David Ross will have to replace the innings given by Steve Cishek, Pedro Strop, Brandon Kintzler, and David Phelps last year.
With no one brought in so far to replace them, it does provide an opportunity for some internal candidates to step up and take on a big role in 2020. One such pitcher is big left-hander Brad Wieck.
