The Cubs have done so little over the last week and change that the only columns I’ve written in the last five days have been about their offer to Hyeseong Kim and interest in Yoán Moncada. And they don’t even have the recent blizzard to blame because their inactivity has gone on longer than my local Planet Fitness has been closed (four days between inclement weather and “unexpected repairs”). Jedward wishes he had such a convenient excuse, but he might need to get busy with Cubs Convention looming in a little over a week.
If they don’t do anything of note, ownership and the front office can still hang their hats on the idea that the Cubs have spent more so far in free agency than their four divisional rivals…combined.
