Too much young pitching talent is a good problem to have for the rebuilding Cubs.
“In a perfect world, all of your talent would be homegrown,” vice president of pitching Craig Breslow said last month. “But what we see is, we’re getting a clearer picture of the guys that we have in our system who are going to contribute to major-league wins. And then, alongside that, you have the chance to complement and fill in spaces, which is a much easier task than trying to create a roster externally.”
