Over the past month, I have addressed the financial states of the Brewers, Cardinals, Pirates, and Reds. Now it is time to discuss the Cubs. For those readers not on a mobile device, I recommend opening this Cubs payroll tracker link in a second window and using it for reference.
The Cubs roster needs over the next four seasons can be broadly summarized as follows:
- 2019 – No needs
- 2020 – Bullpen
- 2021 – Rotation
- 2022 – Infield
This creates an interesting financial decision for the Cubs this offseason.
