Cubs Prioritizing Veteran Relievers, Lefty-Batting Second Baseman

With the starting rotation ostensibly set now that Jake Arrieta is back in the fold, the Cubs are focusing their attention on two other areas of need. Bruce Levine tweeted Sunday morning that the Cubs were among numerous teams scouting 35-year-old righty David Robertson, who has not pitched since early 2019 due to Tommy John surgery. Robertson has spent most of his career with the Yankees, but is familiar with Chicago from two-plus seasons pitching for the White Sox.
