What is everyone hoping for this off-season? I think realistically the Cubs sign a big ticket starter and position player.  For me,  Correa and Stroman would be about as good as could be expected.

Very good question.  I'm not sure anyone decent will sign with us unless we give way more money than a team that may have a chance to compete. 

On one hand I could see the team spend and pick up 5 nice players for a quick rebuild, but I know that won't happen.  On the other hand standing pat, then trading competitive parts, having the worst record in baseball and getting the #1 pick seems more likely.

Since you asked what I would like to see (and trying to be somewhat realistic)......I would like to see us spend enough to be competitive and have a chance to sneak into the playoffs while excelling in international signings to continue rebuilding the farm system
