Bullpens have grown more and more important over the last decade or so. Some of the best teams during that stretch have featured a mix of overpowering arms in the back end of the pen, ready to slam the door from as early as the sixth or seventh inning on.
The Chicago Cubs certainly do not have such a group heading into 2021. Regardless, it seems likely this is the set of arms they’ll roll with, hoping some of their reclamation projects pan out in a big way – similar to how they put the bullpen together last season.
