In retrospect one of the biggest problems the Cubs had for most of 2019 was the lack of a reliable closer. It was clear early in the season that the Cubs lacked a shut down arm in the bullpen leading them to sign one of the best closers in the business, Craig Kimbrel in June. However, even with that three-year, $45 million deal, the late innings were a rollercoaster for fans. In fact, eight players other than Kimbrel wound up with saves for the Cubs in 2019, so on the eighth day of Cubsmas I wanted to take a closer look at the Cubs bullpen woes.
