Cubs Focus on Offseason Improvements Ahead of Next Season
The Chicago Cubs are under pressure to make the playoffs next season after failing to qualify this year, largely due to a struggling bullpen that recorded 27 blown saves. Despite several injuries to key relief pitchers, the Cubs improved their bullpen's performance after mid-season trades. Cubs president Jed Hoyer emphasized the team's commitment to a long-term plan while hinting at potential trades for young, cost-controlled starting pitchers, such as those from the Seattle Mariners. The front office is also considering modest free-agent signings and aiming to upgrade their catching position. With significant payroll flexibility and a wealth of top prospects, the Cubs have the resources to make impactful moves this offseason. However, Hoyer faces the challenge of balancing larger investments in starting pitching while maintaining a cautious approach to bullpen spending.
