• A look at some relievers the Cubs might sign this offseason

Jeff Hoffman | Photo by Elsa/Getty Images The Cubs could use bullpen help. Who should they go after? The Cubs had some real bullpen issues in 2024, particularly in the first half of the sason. Things stabilized, to some extent, in the second half and it’s possible the Cubs might have identified a closer in Porter Hodge.

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024

• Royals 4, Cubs 0: Caleb Kilian leaves with an injury

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports This is not good news. Every Cubs fan wants to see Caleb Kilian succeed. We might disagree on whether that success should come as a starter or reliever, but he certainly has the talent to be a quality big league pitcher.
