"People have already started creating their holiday wishlists with Christmas less than a month away. Kids will want the latest gaming consoles, adults may want new clothes, and Cubs fans want their team to spend more money. The front office wants more pitching, among other things. If the team intends to compete again prior to 2032, Jed Hoyer's offseason wishlist must include a starting pitcher, bullpen arms, and a corner outfielder."
"Dylan Cease signed with the Blue Jays on Wednesday, a move that caught a lot of people by surprise. Not because he went to Toronto, but because he got more money than pretty much anyone expected. On top of that, it's rare to see a player of his stature sign before the Winter Meetings. His decision came a day after Sonny Gray was shipped up to Boston, signaling that the hot stove action may get started earlier than usual this winter."
"The Cubs need a good starting pitcher to do more than just provide depth. Whether they end up acquiring an ace or someone for the middle of the rotation, it's time to pay up for a legitimate arm to help this team make a deep playoff run. They could spend money and go after top free agents like Ranger Suárez and Michael King, or they could opt to trade organizational pieces for arms such as Edward Cabrera or Pablo López."
Thanksgiving marks the start of the holiday season, encouraging enjoyment of food, family, and football. Holiday wishlists are forming, with kids wanting gaming consoles, adults seeking new clothes, and Cubs fans wanting the team to spend more. The front office prioritizes pitching and other roster upgrades. The Cubs need a starting pitcher, bullpen arms, and a corner outfielder to contend before 2032. Dylan Cease signed with the Blue Jays for more money than expected, and Sonny Gray was traded to Boston, suggesting earlier winter activity. Phil Maton was the Cubs' first winter move, offering consistent innings and strikeout ability.
