Chicago Cubs don’t need to make a big-time move this summer
Despite what most are saying, the Chicago Cubs don’t need to make big moves to enjoy success this summer. They just need to get back to the basics.
Halfway through the month of may, pundits, bloggers and fans alike are calling for Theo Epstein to pull the trigger on a big deal. The Chicago Cubs entered play Tuesday one game under .500, coming off a disappointing weekend series against the rival Cardinals.
Starting pitching, namely former ace Jake Arrieta, has been problematic. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner has a 5.44 ERA eight starts in, leaving a large hole in the middle of the Chicago rotation.
