Regardless of your feelings and inclinations about how good the Chicago Cubs will be in 2020, they have the pieces in place to be successful if things break the right way. Point blank. Period.
A team with the versatility of the Cubs as now constituted should take advantage of said versatility and flexibility by adding a specialist with the extra man all MLB teams will be allowed to carry in the upcoming season. It is one of the arguments I made for keeping Tommy La Stella last fall when the Cubs traded away “3AM” to the Angels – specialists who can do one thing and one thing well are super useful on a team where you have multiple guys who are able to competently move around the infield and outfield.
