We seem to be in a market where the best available free agent position player is lucky to sniff even one legitimate nine-figure offer, and where the best available free agent pitchers are still looking for work. The Cubs have thrown a bunch of money at pitching this offseason, but most of that is tied up in the bullpen, which has been solidified on paper as we hope for continued good production from the new guys and some bouncebacks from the incumbents. It’s not quite official yet, but the Cubs are expected to welcome back Brian Duensing, and that helps their position some with a team-friendly contract and maintaining plenty of money to spend before they hit the luxury tax threshold.
Again With the Waiting Game
