The Cubs are once again in an unsavory position thanks to a slow offseason.
Remember last offseason when the Chicago Cubs waited and waited for a ruling regarding Kris Bryant’s service time grievance from 2015? The team couldn’t really shop him via trade because they had no idea what they were shopping. There’s a big difference between one and two years of control over a former MVP.
This winter feels similar. The offseason is moving at a historically slow pace, with just three of MLB Trade Rumors’ top 25 free agents signing to-date.
