This winter, it quickly became clear that the Chicago Cubs weren’t going to open the pocketbook up for free agency. The Cubs signed Daniel Descalso, really the only name of note that most fans will recognize on offense. In the bullpen, they opted for depth, with Brad Brach being the most notable. The team signed players like Kendall Graveman–who will likely miss the entire season recovering from Tommy John—Tony Barnette and Xavier Cedeno.
The issue with the last two? Both might miss Opening Day with injuries.
