For the first part of this offseason, I wrote a number of articles here regarding the Cubs and the bigger-name free agents.
With the Winter Meetings over and none of those players signed yet, I thought I’d turn the focus of this series to some relief pitchers who could help the Cubs, who could have used some of that late in the 2023 season.
Honestly, Jordan Hicks could be one of the best free-agent bargains out there. The Cardinals, re-tooling or re-building or whatever you want to call it after their first-half collapse in 2023, traded away a lot of pending free agents including Hicks.
