I was thinking of a number of different ways I could write a “further reactions to the Dansby Swanson signing” article, and settled on this.
First, let me tell you that Sara Sanchez will have a “by the numbers” article about Swanson in the coming days.
Beyond the signing of Swanson, though, the Cubs do still have some holes to fill — another catcher, another hitter, some relievers, perhaps another starting pitcher. So let’s look at all of those areas, one by one.
Catcher
The best remaining free agent catchers are: Gary Sanchez, Roberto Perez, Jorge Alfaro, Curt Casali and Tucker Barnhart.
