Sign Bryce Harper
This one is a bit of a no-brainer. Harper is going to be the best offensive free agent this fall and winter. The Cubs need to go all in to sign the right fielder.

Move Jason Heyward to center field
Jason Heyward's contract is too big to dump completely, but he simply cannot play a corner outfield spot anymore. The addition of Harper will allow Harper to play right field and Heyward can move to center field. This will make Almora or Happ, or both decent bats and gloves off the bench.

Get a real leadoff hitter
No, Dexter Fowler probably isn't coming back, but he was the last real leadoff hitter the Cubs had. Since his departure, the spot has been a revolving door with varied degrees of success and quite a bit of failure. If the Cubs offense wants to fix what ails it, they are going to need to find an actual leadoff hitter who can do it 150+ times a year.
