Appearing this morning on the Mully and Hanley Show on 670 The Score, Theo Epstein discussed the Cubs’ current and future situation with his typical candor. Of note was his talk of the club’s need for more pitching depth, both in the present and future. Not that that’s some kind of new revelation, but it was interesting to hear him speak so freely about it.
“It’s going to be really hard to crack this lineup,” Epstein admitted. “We have a lot of outstanding position player prospects on the way, as well. But we don’t have the kind of depth, and we’ve been open about that, that we want with our starting pitching.
