Cubs News
The Cubs are facing some serious early-season concerns, notably in the starting pitching department, as fans weigh in on what keeps them up at night. With the home opener looming, there's an air of anticipation mixed with anxiety, especially given Dansby Swanson's swing changes that have yet to deliver results. It’s a red flag for a team that needs offensive consistency if they hope to keep pace in the division. Meanwhile, the buzz around hot young talent like Konnor Griffin adds a layer of excitement in the league, while the Cubs are left wondering how Shota Imanaga will fit into the rotation once Justin Steele returns. If the pitching woes don't subside soon, the Cubs could find themselves in a tight spot before they even hit their stride.
