Chicago Cubs: Relief pitcher market beginning to thin out

Related Topics: Market (economics), Chicago Cubs

The quiet offseason for the Chicago Cubs continues as the calendar flips over to 2019. While most of the big-name free agents are still on the board, a number of the middle-tier players (both arms and position guys) have been signing a bit more frequently. These are mainly bullpen and/or depth guys.

There have been some smaller moves for pitching depth, but nothing huge. Fact of the matter is, the Cubs are going to need to add more reliable bullpen arms sooner or later. There is not even a defined closer yet with Brandon Morrow opening the 2019 season on the DL.
