It’s going to be a while before the Chicago Cubs, or any MLB team, can make trades or sign any more new players for the 2022 season, due to Rob Manfred’s lockout. (Yes, I know the owners are behind it, but Manfred is the public face of this labor move.)
Today, I am going to ask you where the Cubs should head when the lockout ends. They have already addressed one of the team’s biggest needs — starting pitching — by claiming Wade Miley on waivers and signing Marcus Stroman. That should make the rotation much stronger.
Clearly, the Cubs aren’t done.
