Heyman added that, even after signing Bellinger, the Cubs “still look like barely the cream of a middling NL Central,” suggesting the team could use another significant acquisition to make the most of their recent investments.
The Chicago Cubs have demonstrated a willingness to spend big to improve their playoff chances in the immediate future, signing Cody Bellinger to an $80 million deal and Shota Imanaga to a $53 million one.
But their offseason spending might not be over yet, with an anonymous MLB competitor telling the New York Post’s Jon Heyman that the Cubs are an ideal match for free-agent southpaw Jordan Montgomery, who is projected to earn a six-year, $110 million contract, per Sportrac.
