I also don't understand what the Cubs are planning on doing for pitching over the next 4-5 years.

well they have Arrieta & Hammel signed thru 2017. Arrieta has ace stuff, and Hammel is a very solid SP3.

I assume they'll make a splash in free agency or via trade.

There are a few arms in the system that are pretty electric. It's hard to predict pitching though.

Because signing 30 year old dudes clearly isn't the answer. Back end of that Lester deal finna look pretty bad

the backend will prob be scary, like most big contracts in baseball. You have to pay to play. It's not really a huge deal for a big market club like the Cubs though.

With all the home grown hitting talent, they'll have money to afford pitching when they need it.

30 really isn't old for a pitcher. 34-35 ill start to worry.
