[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1422896, member: 588522"] Doubt we get Machado, Harper is still a real possibility. He's going to hamstring the org if he does sign though, might push 40-50m a year. Saw something that the Cubs already have the highest 2019 payroll. I think the smartest moves for the Cubs would be to 1) get a couple bullpen guys 2) spend a decent chunk of change on a catcher (Contreras caught an insane amount) 3) Hope Darvish can be a solid 3/4 starter, Heyward hovers around what he did in 2018, and the rest of the staff doesn't start to show signs of regression. Honestly, the only piece I really see missing from this team is a catcher. We have the pen arms, but bolstering is never bad, especially if you want to go deep in the offseason. I'm pretty high on the rotation still (and Darvish) and I think a healthier lineup helps a ton. [/QUOTE]
