The Chicago Cubs' loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS confirmed that the team's offense may still be broken, but the Cubs have an issue when it comes to power pitching. The Cubs' hitters looked outmatched when facing pitchers capable of throwing 100 mph in their sleep, but most importantly, the Cubs' pitching staff lacks velocity. Sure, Daniel Palencia is the first pitcher who comes to mind, but he is the exception to how the staff was constructed.
As the Cubs start their offseason, the front office may have already leaked their plans to aggressively upgrade their pitching staff this winter.
