The storylines have been repetitive, boring, and not worth the effort to write about, but that all changes today. Camp is officially open and baseball finally returns for Cubs fans. Though Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, Blake Snell, and Jordan Montgomery remain in free-agent limbo, 30 teams are moving forward while the Boras Four sit on the sidelines.
I feel no need to sugarcoat things: As a blogger, this offseason has sucked. Everyone loved Chicago’s lone splashy move, signing Shu014dta Imanaga, but free agent signings have been few and far between across the league and speculation concerning the trade market never materialized.
