One of the many questions being asked this offseason is how the Chicago Cubs will upgrade their pitching rotation for 2020. We know that Kyle Hendricks, Yu Darvish and Jon Lester will be sticking around baring some crazy move or unfortunate career setback. Chicago Tribune’s Mark Gonzalez reports that the Cubs elected to pick up Jose Quintana’s option for 2020, which means the club has have four slots taken in the Opening Week rotation.
One thing seems certain is that they will be looking to replace Cole Hamels‘ spot since he probably will not be back.
