Bold prediction made about Chicago Cubs offseason

The Chicago Cubs are preparing for an important offseason. The team is expected to be aggressive in the free agency market. Last year, the Cubs signed Marcus Stroman and Seiya Suzuki.

Stroman thinks the Chicago Cubs are close to contending this winter. The team is interested in signing one of the top free agent shortstops. Jim Souhan of Star Tribune suggests that Carlos Correa will sign with the Cubs this year. The Cubs were interested last year but didn't want to spend too much on him.

Stroman thinks Chicago Cubs are close to making a few moves. He thinks they can compete in the division right away.

Carlos Correa is an elite offensive player. He is a perfect fit for the Chicago Cubs. The current shortstop, Nico Hoerner, is not an indictment of the current core. Correras has previously been critical of Cubs' plan. He would prefer to sign with a team rebuilding.
