If there is a designated hitter next year, the Cubs should target these free agents.
Will there or won’t there be a designated hitter in the National League in 2021? There have been conflicting reports about this, though Buster Olney recently reported that there will indeed be a DH in the Senior Circuit next year. If that’s the case, the Chicago Cubs had better make it a priority to upgrade the position, in some way, this offseason.
The Cubs struggled offensively at a lot of positions in 2020, but the DH spot was especially troublesome.
