Now that the Chicago Cubs are World Series champions, how can they improve the roster and be even better in 2017? The options are exciting…

The Chicago Cubs are World Series Champions. My grandfather would be proud to read those words, and I’m sure many of your lost loved ones would feel the same.

World. Series. Champs.

After one of the most epic comebacks in the history of baseball, the Chicago Cubs faced the reality of the offseason of Major League Baseball. As is typical to say this time of year, there really is no ‘offseason’.

The Cubs are not immune to the craziness of players leaving, trade rumors swirling, and the free agent frenzy, but everything is going to be a lot easier to deal with knowing they’ve just won a championship.

I want to take a look at this roster as it currently stands, where the Cubs can improve, and how this team can truly be better in 2017 than it was this season. It’s tough enough in baseball to win 100 games, but this young Cubs team can become the new model for consistency and greatness by keeping their core group together and finding some new, key pieces that will propel this team back into the Fall Classic.
