    Cubs 2025 Bullpen Preview

    The Cubs' bullpen was a rollercoaster in 2024, plagued by inconsistency and injuries that left fans on edge in the late innings. But heading into 2025, there's reason for optimism. With key offseason acquisitions, internal arms ready to take the next step, and a more strategic approach to bullpen management, Chicago looks primed for a turnaround in relief pitching. One of the biggest concerns—finding reliable left-handed options—has been addressed, giving the Cubs a more balanced and effective bullpen. Combine that with young arms developing and a fresh approach to late-game situations, and Cubs fans should feel a lot better about holding leads this season. Let's dive into why the 2025 bullpen might finally be a strength instead of a weakness.
