Chicago Cubs willing to play the waiting game before the Aug. 1 trade deadline

The so-called “intelligent spending” plan Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer embarked upon last offseason has produced mixed results as the team nears the halfway point of the 2023 season.Dansby Swanson, their biggest signing of the $300 million-plus spending spree, has paid dividends already. His 2.9 WAR ranked third among shortstops on Wednesday, and Swanson may be the best defensive shortstop the Cubs have seen since Don Kessinger over five decades ago.Cody Bellinger provided a lift before his knee injury on May 15 in Houston, while Drew Smyly looks like a sound investment after being re-signed to a two-year deal in spite of a rough start Wednesday.But none of the other free agent signings have stood out so far, and the net result of all the moves has been a sub-.500 team (3740) that’s only in contention because of the weak competition in the National League Central.Now Cubs fans are demanding the team become buyers in the trade deadline market, a plea chairman To...
