Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman only knows what he sees in the clubhouse and not what checks the execs might be planning to write, but he sees a competitive turnaround in 2023.
Cubs president Jed Hoyer has been especially reluctant to offer an increasingly angry fan base a timeline for a rebuild he refuses to identify as a rebuild — imminent trade-deadline selloff and 97-loss pace be damned.
“I feel like we’re just a few pieces away,” said Stroman, who signed a three-year, $71 million free agent deal in November — and who does not, presumably, sit in on planning sessions with Hoyer or Crane Kenney. “I see the work that gets put in everyday here. I see the young guys we have coming up that contribute right away.”Just a few pieces away? Maybe. How many? Who knows?
