The Cubs will need a new closer in 2018, what with Wade Davis reportedly getting a record contract to pitch the ninth inning for the Colorado Rockies.
So what's that do to Theo Epstein's offseason to-do list?
Well, bringing Davis back sure would've been nice. After all, he was great for the North Siders last season, converting his first 32 save opportunities and 32 of 33 total and picking up four saves in the postseason, including pitching the final 2.1 innings of Game 5 of the National League Division Series to eliminate the Washington Nationals and send the Cubs to their third consecutive NL Championship Series.
