Baseball’s annual Winter Meetings are underway and the rumor mill is churning. Most of the reports on Monday centered around the Chicago Cubs and their interest in Bryce Harper. They ranged from the club being viewed as a long-shot to heavy favorites, so it’s anybody’s guess how this actually comes to fruition.
But, perhaps, more importantly, this week gives Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer the chance to get in the same room as agents for free agent relievers. With Brandon Morrow sidelined until May and an overall lack of depth emanating throughout the pen, the Cubs surely need to add to their ranks.
