The free agent market is starting to dwindle, but it’s surprising the amount of talent that is still available in the second week of January. Luckily, the Chicago Cubs secured one of the best free agents available over the weekend.

After the acquisition of Bregman, MLB.com writer Bradford Doolittle released his midwinter progress report for all 30 teams, and Chicago cracked the top-10 (No. 8) as their roster has improved immensely within the last week .
