Closer issues . But starters are legit . Defense is special. Seiya and tucker are causing lots of problems you basically can't pitch either guy it's glorious .

I think they will make a big trade to go all in for a closer at the deadline.

Our bullpen is a**. It's a travesty they built a world series caliber team around this group of relievers .

Mainly closer. I expect Hodge to take that role very soon.

Two good arms in the pen and the Cubs will run away with this division. Sadly. I don't think Jed knows what a good reliever looks like

Boy the Cubs look good so far. They beat SD 2 of 3, and are up 7-0 on an 8-2 Texas team. This could be a good year for baseball on the north side.

If Vlad got 500…

King Tuck going to get a big bag.

He is a superstar. Elevates the whole lineup.

Steele out for the season with elbow surgery.

That’s a big hit.

Let’s see what Wicks and Horton can do. We kinda need Horton to be Kerry Wood.

Horton still needs some time at Iowa, but I expect Wicks to be called up soon.

Love to see it!

Chemistry feels right on this team.
