Cubs free-agent targets: Jake Arrieta and Taijuan Walker

These suggestions were left in the comment section Tuesday, so I thought I’d run with them.

The Cubs are going to need starting pitching depth, particularly after letting Colin Rea go so he could pursue an opportunity in Japan.

Why not bring back former Cub Jake Arrieta for a year? Or two, on a team option, if his 2021 season is any good?

True, Arrieta’s been injured and not entirely healthy the last two seasons, and will turn 35 in March.

But after a rather rough start to his abbreviated 2020 season, his three September starts were actually.
