With the offseason activity beginning to pick up in that window after the GM meetings and before Thanksgiving, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney focus on the two players who received qualifying offers from the Cubs. Imanaga will return to Wrigley Field on a one-year, $22.025 million contract while the Cubs are positioned to get a draft pick if/when Tucker signs with a different team. What does Imanaga’s decision mean for the current baseball budget and the club’s overall offseason goals? And how will the Cubs somehow replace Tucker and get better next season? Listen to North Side Territory all winter for the latest on the Cubs.
