Nico Hoerner of the Chicago Cubs emphasized that aiming for 90 wins should not be the sole goal for the team, advocating instead for dominance in the league. Despite finishing the season with 83 wins, Hoerner believes the team has the potential to exceed expectations, particularly in close games.

With Hoerner recovering from surgery on his flexor tendon, the Cubs are considering their middle infield depth and potential offseason additions. Meanwhile, several young pitchers also ended the season with injuries, but the team remains optimistic about their recovery.
