The Astros signed Tatsuya Imai on Thursday, taking away one of the main options for the Cubs this winter. They now have to look elsewhere to enhance the starting rotation, but Jed Hoyer’s offense will need an upgrade as well. Kyle Tucker’s departure has left a void in the lineup, and the Cubs have several different options to try and replace that production.
Jon Heyman reported on Thursday afternoon that the Cubs have shown interest in free agent Bo Bichette, who can play several positions around the infield.
