As a Cubs fan, I’m pretty disappointed. Somehow they only managed to add 3 average (at best) bullpen arms and a utility infielder. Meanwhile, other teams went out and made some real upgrades.

Well maybe they want to save some $$ to try to resign Kyle Tucker which it seems they might not be able to do.
The teams that really went all in were the Mets & Phillies ...so yeah, any team compared to their haul seems weak

@SlapHappy I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re going to let Tucker walk. They know they’re going to have to pay PCA in a couple of years and may not have the appetite to pay Tucker $500M a year before a likely lockout that could end with a salary cap. If that’s their logic, I can see not wanting a $500M contract as an immovable object if MLB does indeed adopt a cap.

@SlapHappy Plus the Astros, Padres, Rangers, Mariners, and Yankees. Maybe you just didn’t notice.
