Bell is a switch hitter.

I am more inclined to buy into his larger sample size prior to
San Diego. I think he is a nice player.

Finally the rumor wheel is turning to Swanson, where it always
had to end up. Probably the most realistic non-dumpster dive
for a team in our lane. Given that the other top SS are almost
assuredly a pipe dream I'd be thrilled with Swanson on a 5 or 6
year deal.

Reyes, Mills, Wieck, Breault, Crook, and Espinoza elected free
agency.
Bote did not, given his $4, $5.5, for the next two years, and
$1-buyout for year 3.
I'd be interested in re-signing Breault to a non-roster deal.
Cubs are thin on LHP, and I suspect that *IF* healthy that his
best is still ahead of him.

I hope they try to do the same thing with Wieck.

What I gather from this article is........The Cubs MAY target
Yoshido. The Cubs may NOT target Yoshido.

The article was pure speculation, and not very well reasoned.
Merely click bait.
Yoshido is going to be looking for a long term contract, and
even if for some reason they do not extend Happ, they will not
be looking for a long term free agent corner outfielder, in my
opinion.

That's more than I got out of it. I'm waiting for Dusty to
tell us that Yoshido is seriously injured.
