As things currently stand, four members of the Chicago Cubs bullpen could be free agents after the 2019 season. We have also been spoiled by deep free agent relief markets each of the last two offseasons. However, that will not be the case when the 2019 World Series is in the rearview mirror.
To avoid his last year of arbitration Pedro Strop signed a one-year contract before the 2018 season with a club option for 2019. The Cubs have already picked up said option. But that means that after this coming season, Strop could be a free agent for the first time in his career.
