March 23: Cubs’ offseason recap
After shocking the baseball world by hiring manager Craig Counsell and making him the highest-paid skipper in MLB history in November, the Cubs remained largely quiet for much of the offseason.

However, the club emerged from its slumber to make two huge moves after the calendar flipped to 2024, first signing Japanese pitcher Shota Imanaga to a four-year, $53 million deal on Jan. 11 and then re-signing center fielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger to a three-year, $80 million deal (with opt-outs after 2024 and 2025) on Feb. 28.

Chicago also fortified their bullpen with the addition of veteran reliever Héctor Neris on a one-year deal and acquired infielder Michael Busch (MLB Pipeline’s No. 51 overall prospect) in a trade with the Dodgers.

Coming off an 83-79 finish in 2023, the Cubs are seemingly set up to contend for the National League Central title this season. FanGraphs gives Chicago the second-best odds to win the division behind the Cardinals.
