It feels like we’re in a weird sort of limbo with the Cubs, who made two major moves ahead of their annual fan convention and now seem to be lying in wait to see what happens with the rest of the league. Several other big free agents have come off the board since Alex Bregman headed to the North Side, and there are still more to go before the offseason is over, but the tweeners like Zac Gallen might end up looking for pillow deals.
I’m selling Gallen a little short there because he was among the top 15 or so available players according to many evaluators.
