If the Cubs are going to sign a top free agent shortstop this offseason, it’ll have to be Dansby Swanson.
The Cubs have been showing interest in Swanson entering the winter meetings, before any of the Big 4 had signed. But as of Wednesday evening, the other three had found new homes, and Swanson was the belle of the ball.
Waiting out the market has only brought good news for Swanson. Trea Turner signed first, agreeing 11-year, $300 million contract with the Phillies last week.
