In dire need of starting pitching, these arms could make sense for the Cubs.

As currently constructed, the Chicago Cubs starting rotation is a bit messy. Kyle Hendricks will almost certainly be taking the mound for the team on Opening Day, but who is going to follow him?

Tyler Chatwood, Jose Quintana and Jon Lester all played roles in the rotation last year and have left via free agency, while the ace of the staff, Yu Darvish, was traded, leaving a gaping hole atop the rotation.
