Cubs news should come with a warning label for many fans because, despite evidence to the contrary, the phrase “we’re not done making moves” generally incites rabid interest in the top players available. I’m going to stay positive today, but before digging in, two things must be considered:
- There aren’t any top players available, including Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso, who fit into Jed Hoyer’s budget;
- Hoyer tends to make one big move per winter before turning his focus to underrated veterans and depth players.
The acquisition of Kyle Tucker was this winter’s marquee move, and it’s a big one.
