Bill Belichick

In general, you bring in a promising young pitcher in Edward Cabrera.

The Cubs are better.

The Cubs roster right now is better than the team that won a playoff series last year.

And what a nice ride it was.

Now, as you look back on it, the Cubs won a playoff series.

Didn't work out against the Milwaukee Brewers, but they won a playoff series.

So now, in theory, you set the bar higher.

I know the Cubs are better right now.

What I don't know, and I am a little bit concerned about, are the Cubs good enough to go beyond winning one playoff series, to get to the National League Championship Series, to win multiple series in the playoffs?

Are they good enough to do that?

I'm hesitating and maybe even saying no right now is because of the scary upgrades that have occurred throughout the National League.

We know the Dodgers.

That's the usual suspect right there.

Getting Kyle Tucker, just adding on to a team that already won the World Series against the Blue Jays.

The Phillies, a 96-win team last year.

They re-up with Schwarber and Real Muto.

And the Mets.

Everybody's like, what about the Mets?

Yeah, the Mets.

A team that was 83-79 last year.
