To say the least, center field was a problem spot for the Chicago Cubs this season. Albert Almora, Jr. struggled, turning in some of the worst numbers of his career, and Jason Heyward, who saw a lot of time in center field after the Cubs acquired Nicholas Castellanos, was up and down. Even if the Cubs were to re-sign Castellanos to play right, which is far from a certainty, they still will need more production in center field.
There aren’t many internal options, so the Cubs will likely have to look to free agency, especially if they non-tender Almora, which is a real possibility.
