Cubs Focused on Bullpen & Bench Upgrades, But Will They Spend?
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2025 2:01 am
Jed Hoyer says the Cubs are focused on bullpen and bench upgrades. Is this enough to appease a fanbase hungry for a return to contention? Or are the Cubs destined for another season of mediocrity? Hoyer seems hesitant to make any significant financial commitments, especially to relievers. With several late-inning options available on shorter deals, like Yates, Robertson, and Jansen, is this a missed opportunity for the Cubs to bolster a key area of weakness?
The Cubs have a glut of young infield talent. Is prioritizing a veteran backup truly the best use of resources? Perhaps exploring a trade for a more impactful player would be wiser. What about the starting rotation? Is the current group strong enough to compete in a tough division?
The reported interest in Alex Bregman, even if for a short-term deal, sparked some excitement. However, Hoyer’s subsequent comments seem to downplay the possibility of a major splash. Does this signal a lack of ambition from the front office? Or is it a pragmatic approach given the current roster construction? What moves, realistically, could the Cubs make to become true contenders in 2025? Let’s hear your bold predictions and potential trade scenarios!
