"Cubs Spring Training 2024: Storylines and Early Arrivals"

The Chicago Cubs head into spring training with an incomplete roster, particularly in the pitching department, as they await the resolution of several free-agent deals. New manager Craig Counsell brings experience in managing pitching staffs, and the team has made some additions to the bullpen. The offense, which performed well last season, may need to rely on internal improvements and potentially adding a veteran hitter to maintain its production. Overall, the Cubs are looking for modest improvements after a disappointing end to the previous season and a managerial change.
