Anyway, Cubs.

So they have a really intriguing lineup.

Obviously, they add Bregman.

They got Michael Bush, who's really solid PCA.

They just extended Nico Horner, who in next year's class, if they're when we have free agency after the lockout or whatever the case may be, will be one of the top bats.

Dansby Swanson, Ian Happ, eventually say a Suzuki will come back.

So their lineup, just like last year, is really solid.

They basically just replaced Tucker with Bregman and Bregman's obviously fantastic.

a super solid bat and just a super solid guy to have in the locker room.

The rotation has like a ton of kind of interesting variables to go with it.

If you get the really good Edward Cabrera, you're cooking.

If you get the kind of average Edward Cabrera that you don't really know what to expect, then that's kind of tricky.

Justin Steele, if he comes back and is solid, that's awesome.

If he also has a little hangover from the injury, that's a problem.

Obviously, you got Imanaga, you got Jamison Tyone.

So they have a bunch of guys in the rotation where it's like they've shown they can be really good, but they've also either gotten injured or shown that they, you know, might be more middle of the rotation guys than aces.

So that's probably the trickiest part of their spot.

And then, of course, the guy who closes out the WBC, Daniel Palencia, is their closer.

So they got a really elite closer and a guy that's been...

nasty for you know a year now and i'm expecting him to be really good going to this year and they actually just bought like an entire new bullpen this offseason is kind of wild they sign like basically every reliever on the market milner mayton you name it they got a bunch of other guys so um so yeah i think this will be their rotation they're equipped to win but
