Jed Hoyer's front office has already been busy this offseason, but there are more items on the winter checklist they must accomplish. As the Chicago Cubs look to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season, several critical areas require attention.
First and foremost, the pitching staff needs bolstering. The Cubs struggled with consistency in their rotation last year, and acquiring a reliable starting pitcher could make a significant difference. Additionally, enhancing the bullpen is essential to ensure late-game stability and support for the starters.
Another area of concern is the outfield. With potential free-agent departures, the Cubs must explore options to add depth and versatility to their lineup. This includes seeking both power hitters and defensive-minded players who can contribute in various roles.
Lastly, the Cubs should focus on improving their infield depth. Injuries can derail a season, so having capable backups is crucial. By addressing these areas, the Cubs can position themselves as strong contenders in the upcoming season.
