Can the Cubs' Bold Roster Moves Spark a Surprising Turnaround This Season?

Roster: 

The Cubs did take the Brewers the distance, going five games, and they were leading in the first inning of Game 1, 1-0. By the end of inning 1, they were down 6-1. Game 2, they were winning 3-0 after their turn to bat, and tied 3-3 at the end of the inning. So, clearly, the starting staff needed some tweaks. Shota Imanaga was a very good pitcher for them in his first two years, and they kind of just let him make a decision on what to do this offseason. He is back in the mix. Justin Steele missed almost all of last season and will be back at some point, but I’m guessing the team will be cautious with him. The rest of the rotation is made of a sophomore (Cade Horton, who had a phenomenal rookie year) and veterans. The bullpen overall should be fine, but I’m not fully sold on Daniel Palencia as a closer. There could be arms to make the difference, though. The good thing is that the Cubs aren’t “weak” really anywhere. Defensively they should be one of the best teams in baseball. On offense, they have enough balance between contact, speed, and power that they should be competitive.
