Chicago Cubs: Brian Duensing is an X-factor in 2019
Brian Duensing struggled in 2018 after a solid 2017 season. If he can bounce-back in 2019, it will go a long way for the Chicago Cubs bullpen.
For the Chicago Cubs in 2019, nothing greater will help the team then improvements from those who struggled with the team last season.
Bryce Harper, Craig Kimbrel and Manny Machado remain unsigned, but the likelihood of the Cubs signing any seems low.
Bounce-backs needed
Thus, for the Cubs to improve off of a 95-win 2018 season, the team will need those currently on the roster to play up to standards set in previous seasons. This is especially true for the team’s young position players.
