The Chicago Cubs are gearing up for the offseason with aspirations to enhance their roster for a stronger 2025 campaign. Despite a respectable 2024 performance, they fell short of playoff contention, largely due to the Milwaukee Brewers' success.
With the Brewers likely to regress next season, the Cubs see an opportunity to reclaim their division. A critical area for improvement is their bullpen, which struggled significantly last year, leading to numerous blown leads.
The Cubs have already made a positive move by acquiring Eli Morgan, who had an impressive season with a 1.93 ERA. However, they still need to bolster their bullpen further, particularly by seeking additional experienced arms, potentially through free agency.
