For the first time since Yu Darvish, the Cubs have signed a $100 million dollar player. Dansby Swanson signed a 7 year, $177 million dollar deal to presumably take over shortstop and join with Nico Hoerner in the league’s best defensive middle infield. Drew Smyly also reportedly has agreed to return, filling out the Cubs rotation and giving it truly solid depth. The offense? Well…it’s not there yet. We talk a little bit about rumored targets Michael Conforto and Trey Mancini, and we only talk about the remaining catching options as much as we legally have to. Welcome to Chicago, Dansby!
