Hey, I don’t know if you were aware, but the Cubs haven’t done much of note this offseason. After their shocking move to replace David Ross with Craig Counsell, they more or less sat out free agency until signing Shu014dta Imanaga. A trade with the Dodgers for Michael Busch and Yency Almonte followed shortly thereafter, then we waited a while for them to sign Héctor Neris.
The front office has been busy, of course, it’s just that most of the work is stuff we’ll never know about because it involves phone calls and crowded whiteboards of deals that never happen.
