Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have spent plenty of money this winter in order to exit their rebuild and open their window of contention. $300 million later and players such as Dansby Swanson, Jameson Taillon, and Cody Bellinger have been added to the roster.

Despite the additional star power, the Cubs may not be done. 

Speaking to The Athletic, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer has confirmed that the club could still look to bring in additional bullpen help. 

"There are still free agents out there, so I wouldn't be shocked if we brought someone in," Hoyer said. "(Our pro scouting) group is always working. We're generally done. But if someone came into camp, I wouldn't be shocked, just because there are some players out there, in particular some relievers."

We have talked about it here numerous times, but names such as Zach Britton are still available. The article also mentions Mike Minor which could be an interesting fit. 

Regardless, Chicago's front office has kept their word this offseason, expect another arm to arrive in camp.
