Offseason Outlook: Chicago Cubs
Briefly

The Cubs enter 2025 with a critical chance to secure playoff contention under Jed Hoyer, contingent on Cody Bellinger's decision and team improvements.
Cody Bellinger’s player options will significantly influence the Cubs’ direction, as they seek to bolster their catcher, rotation, and bullpen for a competitive 2025.
Despite the acquisition of Craig Counsell, Chicago finished with an identical 83-79 record as previous seasons, indicating a need for strategic changes.
The Cubs must navigate crucial contract decisions, particularly with Cody Bellinger and Drew Smyly's options, to build a playoff-caliber roster for the upcoming season.
