Can the Cubs win the NL Central with the roster as it currently sits, or are further additions necessary? Believe it or not, they’re almost there. The North Siders are expected to win 80-81 games per FanGraphs, while the Cardinals project to 83-84 wins. The Brewers sit between the two, with an expected outcome of 81-82 victories. As a reminder, four of the top 10 free agents are still unsigned.
The offseason has moved like ice melting from the frozen spigot on the side of your house, but eventual agreements for Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery will change that.
