The Cubs opened the offseason with a move that stunned MLB, firing manager David Ross and hiring Craig Counsell away from the Brewers for a record salary.
Since then, Chicago has been relatively quiet, with Japanese pitcher Shota Imanaga the marquee addition on a four-year deal. The Cubs could very well add key players before Opening Day, with Cody Bellinger conspicuous among the remaining free agents.
Whether he returns to Chicago or not, the Cubs remain in an eminently winnable division and know they'll begin the year with as good a chance as anyone to take the NL Central after finishing second in 2023.
The path to what would be their first postseason appearance since 2020 starts where it has for decades, in Mesa, Arizona.
