The New York Times and Bleacher Nation both suggest that the Cubs are targeting additional relief pitchers, despite some relievers returning from injury.

The Cubs' general manager, Jed Hoyer, is reportedly preparing to make significant moves, according to a rumor from Jeff Passan cited by Cubbies Crib. The Cubs' plans could be complicated by the need to balance immediate gains with long-term roster development. The team's recent success may also attract competition from other contenders looking to strengthen their pitching staffs.
