The Cubs have roughly $45 million left until the bottom threshold, suggesting potential for significant moves, but Hoyer might not spend all of it.
Jed Hoyer's lame-duck status is not expected to limit his spending by the Ricketts, as they do not impose boundaries on payroll decisions.
The Cubs are likely to be opportunistic in the market, looking for short-term deals reminiscent of their wait for Cody Bellinger.
With the current payroll at $198MM, the Cubs may prioritize specific players like Alex Bregman or Jack Flaherty, depending on remaining budget.
