On occasion, I note on Twitter or Facebook Cubs fans wondering what “the plan” is for the team. While I have a few hunches, it’s mostly about shorter-term contracts over longer-term ones, I’m guessing. The premise of a handful of “Joc Pederson contracts” seems likely to me. I’m not willing to wager M&Ms, or anything pricier, on being correct. If I’m wrong, I’ll admit it. I expect about a $130 million or so budget in 2022. However, regarding the pipeline, I have a few ideas on what’s being attempted. Today’s subject, Peter Matt, goes a way to explaining it.
