Power ranking how the Cubs stack up in the NL Central after a quiet Winter Meetings

It's been a quiet offseason for the NL Central so far. Short of the St. Louis Cardinals starting their rebuild by shipping Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox, there haven't been many moves of consequence, and that didn't change during the Winter Meetings.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds were prominently featured in the sweepstakes for Kyle Schwarber, who wound up returning to the Philadelphia Phillies on a five-year deal. The Cubs did add Hoby Milner, one of two established veteran relief pitchers signed this offseason, but they have yet to complete the heavy lifting of their winter.
