The options that the Chicago Cubs have lined up thus far are Pedro Strop, Steve Cishek, CJ Edwards, Brad Brach, and once healthy, Brandon Morrow. Throughout 2018, Strop was mainly the closer compiling 13 saves in the absence of Morrow with others filling in here and there. Unfortunately, the Cubs may be starting the season without the top two options in Stop and Morrow.
Since Spring Training has started, Strop has been injured with a hamstring injury that has shut him down briefly. This should turn to be a promising option in place of Morrow with Strop handling the role well in 2018.
