Chicago Cubs: Why re-signing Nicholas Castellanos is not a priority

With several players hitting the market as unrestricted free agents and the Chicago Cubs holding team options on a host of other players, Theo Epstein and the rest of the front office have the opportunity to pursue a variety of different avenues during the offseason.

There has been a lot of noise suggesting that the Cubs “need” to bring back Nicholas Castellanos after one of the most impressive two-month stretches in team history.

While Castellanos would undoubtedly give the Cubs added offensive firepower heading into 2020, it is dangerous to suggest that re-signing him should be the top priority this winter.
