A week into the new year, the Cubs made the blockbuster move we’d all been waiting for. Jed Hoyer just landed the talented right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera from the Marlins in exchange for Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez, and Edgardo De Leon. By adding Cabrera, the Cubs have solidified their starting rotation, created some wiggle room for guys to develop and get healthy, and, most importantly, announced they aim to take back the NL Central crown.
If that isn’t enough — and judging by what I hear on 670 The Score, it never is — the city’s North Side baseball team is currently linked to Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, and even a possible reunion with old friend Cody Bellinger.
