Interesting in writing about the Cubs? Do you visit FanGraphs and Savant on the daily? We're looking for new analysts for the offseason; if you're interested, send us a DM! #cubs #chicago #behereforit

3 Reunions Chicago Cubs Could Pursue in MLB Free Agency
The Chicago Cubs have plenty of spots on their 40-man and need some help to build on a 92-win season. Could they look to some familiar faces to fill those holes?

Seeing a lot of hot food-takes so let me jump in: cranberries in all forms are gross. How anyone has allowed them into as many things as they are, befuddles me.
The BigCran lobby is working overtime and you can't convince me otherwise.

Phil Maton Cubs deal: $14.5M, 2 years and club option. Plus $250K incentives per year based on games pitched for the ultra reliable reliever. So good chance to reach $15M.

Evan Phillips on a 1+Option would be a good add. He won't be ready until mid-year, but he could essentially act as a free trade deadline addition when healthy.

I know he isn't a velocity maven, but the Cubs needed strikeouts and based on what he's become...they just found a lot of them if you believe the velocity increase will keep.

Chicago Cubs Sign Right-Handed Reliever Phil Maton to Two-Year Deal
In the first of what figures to be a handful of moves this winter to reload a bullpen evacuated at season's end, the Cubs signed free-agent reliever Phil Maton Friday night.

The Cubs will almost assuredly have signed Phil Maton for at least 2 years...meaning the Chicago Cubs will have jumped the relief market for a multi-year deal.
That's very different.
