We’ve already covered this concept more than once, but the Cubs’ abject lack of activity has forced us to turn this place into Pre-Chew Charlie’s. As one of only four teams with zero free agent spending and the only team with no MLB additions of any kind, Jed Hoyer still has several moves to make.

Even getting $200 million seems to be out of the question at this point, so this particular boomerang could come back around to Chicago if and when the Scott Boras Winter thaws.
