The Chicago Cubs' inaction this winter is both satisfying and worrisome for Milwaukee Brewers fans. With the Cubs needing to find Kyle Tucker-esque production for their lineup this winter (which could simply lead to a reunion with Tucker on a long-term deal), and improve upon a starting rotation that faltered down the stretch, Chicago has instead spent most of the 2025-26 offseason revamping a bullpen group that saw several key departures at the end of the 2025 campaign.
Jed Hoyer and company have done well with their bullpen signings, especially given how expensive the market for top-tier relief pitching is.
