The Chicago Cubs tendered contracts to many of their arbitration-eligible players, and now it’s “wait and see” as far as what they will do the rest of this winter. The signing of John Lackey improves the rotation and while he wasn’t a blockbuster signing, economically it was a great pickup. These contracts don’t guarantee all will be part of the Cubs roster in 2016, only now they would move because of trades which the team may use to improve the team this offseason more so than free agent signings.
With trades possibly on the forefront for the Cubs, the question is who will be dealt.
