Can the Cubs’ Bold Roster Moves Spark a Surprising Turnaround This Season?
Offseason moves:
The big moves the cubs made this offseason were related to the pitching staff, and one position player. The team traded for Edward Cabrera, a talented, but oft-injured guy who has years of control remaining. They also replenished their bullpen a bit, doing something they’ve done for years. The Cubs, to their credit, seem to be better at finding arms for the bullpen, rebuilding it, and delivering. MLB.com lists their bullpen as 14 deep right now for the depth chart. That will obviously change, but as you can tell, they invest there and it does make a difference. The other major addition was Alex Bregman, who replaces his former Astros teammate, Tucker. Breman was highly coveted by many for his bat and leadership. He’s a bit older, but he still should have good years remaining. It is always a big deal when you can get one of the best free agents on the market.Â
