The Chicago Cubs are staring at missing the playoffs again and these are just some of the issues they’ll have to address this offseason.
The Cubs have not played a playoff game since the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season. Coming off an 83-79 season in 2023, Chicago has fallen short of its own expectations.
Chicago will need an answer to that question. It may be the most important question the Cubs need to answer to be a legit contender.If Cody Bellinger triggers the opt-out in his contract after the season, should the Cubs pursue him or let him go? If Bellinger goes, should the Cubs give chase? Will dealing with what will certainly be higher contract demands from Bellinger’s agent, Scott Boras, be worth the trouble? He’ll be one of the market’s top free agents once again.
Within the next year, all six of these players could be ready to help Chicago at Wrigley. The Cubs expect Horton to compete for a spot, even though he’s out for the season with an injury.
