Almost anyone who follows the Chicago Cubs feel they need one more starting pitching. Maybe another proven back-end arm. In essence, they’re close, but not quite done with what we’d all consider a very successful offseason.
To be clear, this team has already done quite a bit. In the rotation, Theo Epstein brought in Tyler Chatwood and Drew Smyly. As Smyly works back from Tommy John, he represents a longer-term asset for the club. Hence, another immediate asset makes a ton of sense.
In the bullpen, the Cubs made serious moves.
