Dan Winkler and Jeremy Jeffress stepped up for the Cubs this season.
The Chicago Cubs bullpen wasn’t loaded with household names this year. Theo Epstein was backed against the wall financially and spent most of last winter shopping the bargain bin where you find discounted DVDs to round out his bullpen.
Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer will undoubtedly face a similar situation this offseason. Per The Athletic (subscription required), more than 100 Cubs employees lost their jobs this year because of COVID-19.
