The Cubs had high hopes for a major strike in free agency this offseason, particularly in pitching, but now seem set to shop in the second and third tiers of the market.
Despite the Cubs' deep pockets and a division ripe for the taking, their approach has shifted to a more measured strategy, avoiding top-tier free agency for now.
The Cardinals are cutting back payroll, and with the Brewers potentially losing key players, the Central division remains wide open, yet the Cubs are hesitant to capitalize.
Their previous willingness to engage in the market, as seen with Dansby Swanson, has not extended to big-name pitchers like Burnes or Snell this offseason.
