1. Trade for Aroldis Chapman. -Chapman has always been a thorn in the Cubs side. As a division opponent, he has sway over at least 5 games a year. He is reportedly unhappy with Manager Bryan Price and rumors have it that they have had it out on several occasions.
2. Sign Zack Greinke- we need another quality starter. He is about as good as it gets. Notice the theme here? Pitching, pitching, pitching. The only question is, will he get along with the rest of the staff? Reports have surfaced that he's a bit of a loner who likes to read books on his off days, even while the game is going on. This won't sit well with some of the Cubbies' arms.3. Bats- where will our power come from next year? With the core group poised to continue right where it left off, consistency will be the key. Jason Heyward will come with a hefty price tag if the Cubs look to bolster their batting. A guy like Jay Bruce might bring some more power, but is he consistent enough? Some people in the know have suggested that Prince Fielder might want to seek employment elsewhere. Apparently he has been dieting, has already lost 20 pounds since the playoffs, and is looking to start fresh with an NL contender as an every day player. Could Anthony Rizzo give up time at first and play a little outfield? Probably so, if the right situation called for it.
