The Chicago Cubs currently sit atop a jampacked NL Central and seemed well-positioned to be playing baseball in October. The Achilles heel of the team has certainly been their lackluster rotation, which has been reiterated to exhaustion and it should certainly be the Cubs’ primary focus at the deadline. However, the Cubs are not a perfect team outside of their rotation, and they should look at other positions of need as well.
Kris Bryant has taken a step back offensively as of late which makes it seem as though the infield may be a target for the Cubs at the deadline, but with Matt Duffy set to return relatively soon, along with Bote and Hoerner getting back into the mix soon, it’s probably not as big of an issue in the front offices’ eyes.
