“ONE OF GREAT” Cubs Confirmed the Signing of Another Top Experienced Super Star

The one man that the Chicago Cubs can not stand to replace before the start of the regular season next week is starting pitcher Justin Steele.

Steele is expected to start for the Cubs on Opening Day, and the organisation is counting on him to maintain the form that propelled him to the top five in National League Cy Young Award voting last season.

A serious injury to Justin Steele would end the Chicago Cubs’ season before it even began.

Steele took a comebacker to the knee and immediately collapsed in pain. Steele was immediately taken from the game and walked carefully back to the clubhouse. The hope is that Steele is merely dealing with a stinger and bruise.

Craig Counsell will definitely be asked about Steele’s injury after the game, but he will most likely wait until tomorrow to provide a concrete update.

The Cubs’ starting rotation is limited, so losing Steele for an extended period of time would be detrimental. The Cubs’ rotation already lacks legitimacy at the top and would struggle in a potential postseason clash against powerful lineups such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.
