Shelby Miller is back in Chicago. The Cubs officially announced his two-year signing on Sunday, adding depth to an already solid pitching staff. Miller, who has shown flashes of brilliance in his career, will look to solidify his role as both a starter and a potential long reliever. His ability to handle high-leverage situations could prove pivotal as the Cubs aim to contend for the NL Central title. With Ben Cowles designated for assignment, it seems the front office is prioritizing veteran experience over untested prospects as they prepare for the season.
In other news, Pete Crow-Armstrong is focused on consistency following his breakout season. He showed flashes of star potential in 2025 but will need to build on that success to cement his place as a cornerstone of the franchise. A strong performance in Spring Training could go a long way in solidifying his role as a leader in the lineup. Nico Hoerner's mentorship will be key here, providing PCA with insights that could help him develop into a more reliable contributor.
On the injury front, Javier Assad appears ready to capitalize on his opportunity in the World Baseball Classic while also preparing for Cubs camp. His health and performance will be crucial, especially with Justin Steele expected to return mid-season.
