On a Cubs team lacking depth, Nico Hoerner could be a fix all over the diamond.

Looking at the depth chart for the Chicago Cubs right now sure feels different than it did just a few short seasons ago. The offseason has been slow-moving so far, allowing the uncertainty about the team’s direction and outlook to linger as we near the end of 2020.

Right now, Chicago lacks a third starting outfielder and, if they do, indeed, trade Kris Bryant, the infield depth would be in tatters.
