Opening Day is far, far away. But looking at the Cubs 40 man roster before the Winter Meetings start, the Cubs have more holes to fill than I first thought. The team only has 4 outfielders
including catcher Schwarber. And the recent addition of Cahill to the pen creates a long jam that will probably have to do with the Cubs trading away young relievers for CF or SP.
