I guess this means the Cubs won't be signing Dexter Fowler. Solid addition to a very deep Cubs outfield.

Were they really going to pay Fowler 70 Million?

One of the top hitters out of all the founding fathers.

Jon Jay is a scrappy player. Cubs are loaded in the outfield and this is a low-risk signing that seems to signal the end of Fowler's time in Chicago

Jay is a solid player. He's not great, but you know what you'll get out of him. Id say if he starts more than 50% of games then its safe to say your outfield took a hit from last year.

Example: We had to let him go to make room for Grichuk, and it's ended up being a good move. So that should give you an idea

Doesn't make sense to resign Fowler, unfortunately.

They obviously like Soler and Almora. Nobody will take Heyward at his cost and last year's production. Zobrist is an outfielder with Baez's emergence. And Schwarber has to play somewhere, although I think he gets traded this offseason.

Jay should be a solid 5th outfielder/pinch runner.

It amazes me how a "dying sport" pays their players so much money
