Theo Epstein and the Chicago Cubs are heading into free agency with quite a few minor needs to fix. They were once again one of the top two teams in the National League in 2017, but were dispatched from the playoffs easily by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Now, they are looking to make some additions that can help take them back to the top.
Jake Arrieta, John Lackey, and Wade Davis are all headed into the free agency market. At this point in time, it doesn’t appear likely that any of the three will return to the Cubs next season.
