Cubs brass are about to leave the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas without making any moves at all.
Some of you are disappointed in this. Me, I expected it, and it was stated as such late Wednesday:
Hoyer said it’s unlikely Cubs make a deal by conclusion of winter meetings

Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer have been repeating the same mantra basically since the Cubs made their early playoff exit: They think the Cubs have the players already in-house for improvement, they think many underperformed in 2018 (I’d agree with that), and the team won 95 games anyway, even with all this tough performance.
