Jed Hoyer said he needs to reassess how he builds his bullpens, but I’d argue he has a strong group ready to go in 2025. I’ve been at Cubs Insider for a while now, and all of us here have probably previously said that on more than one occasion, but this year feels different despite the disappointing finish and failure to reach the playoffs. I’m also convinced that the pitchers Chicago retains will be even better next year.
