Another free-agent fit for the Chicago Cubs is off the board after Kazuma Okamoto signed a four-year, $60 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. More on that later today - for now, let's dial in on a trio of different infielders with varying connections to the North Siders.
Chicago has been remarkably quiet this winter, focusing almost solely on rebuilding a bullpen that lost all of its top relievers, sans Daniel Palencia. Assuming Kyle Tucker doesn't return in free agency, Jed Hoyer has done nothing to offset that loss and, at present, seems poised to push his chips in on youngsters Owen Caissie and Moises Ballesteros.
