The No. 2 starter on this winter's FA market is one opt-out decision away.
Michael King: 3.23 ERA, 27 Padres starts in 2026. His opt-out deadline hits days after the World Series.
Hoyer, the phone better be ready. π―

Not sugarcoating it β the Cubs' 2027 rotation is in rough shape.
Imanaga is likely leaving. Add him to: Gausman (FA), Boyd (FA), Horton (out until mid-2027), Steele (TBD).
What's left? Cabrera, Ben Brown, Assad, Rea. And questions.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
Gausman. Imanaga. Boyd. Holmes. Peterson.
Five starters. All free agents this winter. Add Horton (TJ) and Steele (elbow). The Cubs could enter spring training with ZERO established pitchers under contract.
Hoyer's offseason is a five-alarm fire.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
Ian Happ has been a Cub for 10 years. This offseason could be his last.
The qualifying offer: $23.15 million. Decision deadline: 5 days after the World Series.
Hoyer decides whether to extend it. Happ decides whether to accept. Neither choice is easy.
#Cubs #CubsBaseball #MLB
White Sox and Brewers are still playing. The Cubs aren't. π€
Offseason checklist:
Imanaga, Gausman, Peterson, Happ, Seiya: free agents
Boyd: $15M mutual option
Holmes: $12M player option
Decisions due 5 days after the World Series
Get to work, Jed.

PCA. Seiya. Happ.
Three Cubs outfielders, three Gold Glove contenders β and no team has ever swept all three outfield spots since Gold Gloves went position-by-position in 2011.
Could happen this November. Even if it's their last season together.
#Cubs #CubsBaseball #MLB
Cubs led the NL with 231 home runs allowed in 2026. Set a club record using 14 different save-recorders.
Gausman, Imanaga, Boyd, Holmes, Peterson: all free agents. Horton and Steele out until 2027.
Hoyer said it plainly. Now he has to write the checks.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
The Cardinals finished below .500 in 2026 and traded Nolan Arenado to Arizona for near-nothing. They're rebuilding.
The NL Central title is in Milwaukee right now. Add two arms this winter and it comes home to Wrigley in 2027.
#Cubs #NorthSiders #CubsBaseball
Cubs need 2-3 starting pitchers this winter β Cease, Valdez, SuΓ‘rez, Gallen are all available.
Including Michael King. The guy who nearly no-hit them in WCS Game 1.
Horton and Steele won't be back until 2027. Hoyer must spend.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
Jed Hoyer is taking accountability β and he should.
231 HR allowed. FOURTEEN different pitchers recorded saves.
Gausman. Imanaga. Boyd. Holmes. Peterson. All gone.
This is the most critical offseason in the Hoyer era. Time to prove it.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
Ian Happ. Ten seasons. One team.
He's a free agent for the first time at 32 β and every club can call. The extension ran out. The next contract is the open market.
Whether he's still a Cub in 2027 is now Hoyer's first big decision.
#Cubs #GoCubs #CubsBaseball
Hoyer's 2027 rotation, right now: Steele, Cabrera, Assad, and a midseason Horton.
Four arms. One returning from surgery. The rest of the staff just departed for free agency.
The market has to deliver β there's no other option.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
Cade Horton: second Tommy John. Summer 2027 at the earliest.
Second TJ surgeries carry a much lower return-to-form rate. He's a hope β not a plan.
The rotation rebuild can't wait for Horton. It can't.
#Cubs #CubsBaseball #MLB
Michael King: 7 IP, 1 H, 8 K in WCS Game 1.
Now the Cubs are linked to him as a free agent target.
Chicago's rotation rebuild may start with signing the man who dismantled their October. Bold move. Smart move. Very Cubs.
#Cubs #CubsBaseball #MLB
Gausman: FA. Boyd: $2M buyout. Holmes: opting out. Peterson: FA.
The 2026 rotation is done.
Hoyer doesn't have a rotation to tweak β he's building one from scratch. Biggest Cubs offseason in years.

WCS Game 2 β must win.
Gausman vs. Pivetta: a playoff-tested veteran vs. a starter returning from an elbow injury.
The Cubs traded for Gausman at the deadline for exactly this moment.
9:00 PM CT, Petco Park.

Gavin Hollowell's back.
Cubs activated the RHP from the 15-day IL. Bullpen gets another arm.

2 IP. 5 strikeouts. 0 runs. That was Justin Steele's final Iowa rehab outing on Sept. 18.
He's meeting with the Cubs today. The expected role: multi-inning LHP reliever down the stretch and into October.
The bullpen just got deeper.
#Cubs #MLB #CubsBaseball
9 games left, and now Dansby Swanson is in the lineup.
Activated off the IL today after a Grade 2 oblique strain β sidelined since August 16.
A two-time Gold Glove shortstop returning for a Wild Card run. October just got deeper.
