The Cubs made a transaction!
If you’ve been waiting around all week for the Cubs to make a deal or signing or something during the Winter Meetings, well, now the Meetings are over but the Cubs have apparently made a transaction:

2018 might not have turned out exactly the way the Cubs wanted it to, but it was still a pretty awesome year. The team won 95 games and made it’s fourth playoff appearance in a row. In the spirit of the holiday season I thought now would be a good time to take a look back at some of the moments that really stood out last season. At this point in my life it would appear that the Cubs are in fact my true love, so I took some inspiration for this series from the 12 days of...
Cubs fans have grown accustomed to headline-grabbing moves during the Winter Meetings over the past several years. But at these Winter Meetings, Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer proclaimed Wednesday that the team was unlikely to make a move,
While the Chicago Cubs offseason has yet to take off in any sort of direction, changes from the 2018 roster seem imminent. A trade involving center fielder Albert Almora could be on the horizon for a team with more pressing needs. By showcasing elite defense and impeccable baseball instincts, Albert Almora has rightfully solidified himself […] Chicago Cubs: Albert Almora might be team’s most expendable asset - Cubbies Crib - Cubbies Crib - A Chicago Cubs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion...
The Cubs did not choose nor lose anyone in the major-league phase.
Trevor Clifton was the Cubs’ 12th-round pick in 2013 out of high school. He’s had some pretty good years in the system, including a solid 2018 split between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa, although Fangraphs did not include him in its recent Top 31 Cubs prospects list.
There were rumors that Clifton might be chosen, in particular by the Royals, since Clifton’s mom (who follows Josh on Twitter) suddenly followed...
Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer might be baseball's best Twitter troll and he proved it Wednesday when he implied he helped the Cubs win the 2016 World Series.

BCB’s Sara Sanchez visited Wrigley Field Wednesday afternoon and filed this report:
The crews around Wrigley Field have continued their work as the holidays approach. Other new businesses in the area are opening as well across the street on Addison including a Do Rite Donuts shop and the Harley Davidson store on the corner.
Most of the construction activity is still clustered at the corner of Sheffield and Addison. The...
Much of the offseason focus surrounding the Chicago Cubs centers around free agents and potential trade chips. But it’s time for some self-reflection instead. With so many questions surrounding the Chicago Cubs and what they’ll do this offseason, fans need to take a step back and focus on what the team already has internally. Sure, all […] Chicago Cubs need to look internally to find success in 2019 - Cubbies Crib - Cubbies Crib - A Chicago Cubs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
They might not, you know.
Cubs brass are about to leave the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas without making any moves at all.
Some of you are disappointed in this. Me, I expected it, and it was stated as such late Wednesday:

“Please don’t take it the wrong way”, and other bullets
Oh good. The Winter Meetings are over. Wasn’t that fun? So many new players!
Oh, wait. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. We’re all victims of circumstance.
Damn. When do we start making up stuff in order to have content? The only earthshaking news is from Atlanta.

Kris Bryant made his way through Mandalay Bay on Wednesday afternoon, took an elevator to the upper tier of the Delano Hotel and swung by the Cubs' suite. The visit was planned, but it was more about the team checking in on Bryant's offseason than Bryant asking about the team's roster plans.
At one point, it appeared as if the Cubs were building momentum toward making a deal of some sort during the MLB Winter Meetings. As of Wednesday evening, Jed Hoyer spoke to the media with no deals to report.
Tommy Hottovy speaks with the media in Las Vegas, and details how his duties and relationships with pitchers will change as the new pitching coach.
For anybody thinking the Cubs may have the inside scoop at landing Bryce Harper because of his friendship with Kris Bryant, superagent Scott Boras threw cold water on any notion of that happening.
I know, I know. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. But the Chicago Cubs are yet to do anything of note while the rest of the NL Central is taking leaps forward. Yes, it’s not even mid-December.

It intially appeared as if the Cubs were building momentum toward making a move during the Winter Meetings, but that no longer seems to be likely.
Superagent Scott Boras met with the media Wednesday and discussed the Cubs' financial situation as well as the market for his top client Bryce Harper.
Scott Boras details how the Kris Bryant/Bryce Harper relationship may or may not be impacting Harper's free agency decision.
The Cubs have been actively combing through all the options in both free agency and the trade market during the winter meetings, with two “not high end” relievers among their targets. Because they’ve got several irons in the fire, including the possible pursuit of Bryce Harper, it looks like they’re going to wait for the top bullpen arms to sign before making a move. In the meantime, they’re laying the groundwork and making contact with representatives of several different...
