The most annoying part of the Chicago Cubs' offseason has been how the team is viewing their offense. Jed Hoyer isn't worried about the struggles the team had to score runs during the playoffs because they were one of the league's best offenses during the first half of the season. Considering the difference between the two versions of the Cubs' offense last season was a healthy Kyle Tucker, and Tucker isn't on the mind of Chicago this offseason, Hoyer's faith in the offense doesn't actually make sense.
Even if the Cubs are confident in the starting lineup they could use if they had a game tomorrow, it's hard to ignore the Tucker-sized hole that has been created.
