Olney: What missing out on Alex Bregman says about Cubs' unwillingness to spend

Summary

81% Informative

The Tampa Bay Rays have outspent the Chicago Cubs in free agency this winter .

The Cubs were outbid by multiple teams for the services of All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman .

Despite the fact that the Cubs are playing in baseball's land of opportunity, the weak NL Central , they've given no indication that winning is actually a priority.

A signing of Bregman would've given the Cubs another lockdown defender, another Gold Glove contender.

Instead, the financially mighty Cubs chose to stand down in the bidding for the third baseman.

The Cubs have a roster that feels unequipped to take on the teams that were willing to spend.
