What we’re hearing about the Cubs, free agents and spending
With the Winter Meetings approaching, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney sit down to compare notes on the Cubs’ approach to the free-agent market. Kyle Tucker visiting the Blue Jays’ complex in Florida is yet another sign that he’s planning to play somewhere else next year. The Cubs, however, have not ruled out adding another hitter and spending for impact free agents. Their pursuit of Dylan Cease — before he signed with Toronto — is telling. Find out why on North Side Territory, the show for offseason news and analysis of the Cubs.
