I guess having one shot armed former elite closer isn't enough?

They're building a great bullpen from 5 years ago. Kimbrel, Allen, Jeffress...that's dominant in 2015-16.

Based on this pattern, I've got to think recently DFA'd Kelvin Herrera will be a Cub any day too.

Kimbrel needs more pressure!

Heck, Lee Smith might be our 3rd or 4th best reliever if he came out of retirement for us.

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman
Teams that have seen how the Cubs are operating in a pandemic say they have it “completely buttoned up.” Not to say it will be easy to keep this record, but the Cubs are the 1 team to have ZERO Covid positives, including even on intake.

At 6.00 runs per game, the Cubs' offense leads all teams in both leagues.

Patrick Mooney  @PJ_Mooney  27m
The Cubs will be adding lefty Justin Steele to their active roster before today’s game against the Pirates at Wrigley Field, sources said. Steele, 25, will be in position to make his big-league debut as the Cubs try to figure out their bullpen.
