Although this upcoming class of free agents is viewed as subpar, four names stand out while assessing the Cubs’ biggest weakness.
The Chicago Cubs enter the offseason aiming to rebuild their pitching staff after finishing 14 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central. Armed with around $160 million committed for next season, the front office has financial flexibility to pursue top talent. The analysis identifies Tarik Skubal, Michael King, Freddy Peralta, and Sonny Gray as four free-agent pitchers the club should target.
