Someone must have smeared Gorilla Glue on all the seats in the Cubs’ office building, because it appears all the execs have remained on their asses for the last several days. While I’m sure Jed Hoyer and his crew are indeed putting in work, they’ve got little to show for it beyond a handful of relievers and a returning expat bench bat. Not that I am taking issue with those signings, mind you, it’s just that they’ve done little to address the team’s most glaring needs.
Those would be the rotation and the void left by Kyle Tucker‘s departure, in case you just decided to become a Cubs fan this morning.
