Bryant 7 years/$182 mil has to be a disappointment for him and Boras after waiting all this time for his free agency to cash in a huge deal. Plus the Rockies are a mess which is why Arenado and Story wanted out so bad. It may be fun for a year or 2 hitting dingers in that elevation but eventually the losing wears on any stars they have had. This contract reeks of "had to take the best offer" because the Rockies are going no where with the Dodgers, Giants, and Padres in the same division who are all in win now modes and spending money. Little surprised he did not seek out a 1 or 2 year prove it deal in hopes to land a bigger deal next but given his age of 30, his inconsistency, and even a little bit of injury prone at times too guessing he opted to take the longer term deal and not risk another bad or injury marred season and have even less value next time around.
As for the other Cubs signings so far looks like they added some bullpen arms to the mix but other than adding Stroman, Miley, Suzuki, Simmons, Gomes, and Frazier they still need to get another arm for the rotation and another bat or 2 for the lineup if they want to have any chance of competing. My guess at opening day lineup right now as it currently stands:
C: Contreras
1B: Schwindel
2B: Madrigal
SS: Simmons
3B: Wisdom
OF: Suzuki, Happ, Ortega? with Heyward and others in the mix as platoon guys
DH: Frazier
I'm leery about Wisdom at 3B as I don't think he can sustain what he did for a stretch last year over a full season but I dunno who is out there that could be an upgrade? Simmons bat is not great either but his glove will be needed. OF while better now with Suzuki I think you can still go out and get a big bat and move on from someone currently on the roster. I've never been much of a fan of Happ, he gets hot once in awhile when the Cubs suck but when they've been in the thick of things he has not been good. With the DH now you can really just about target any big bat on the market even if you have someone slated to start at their position and just use that spot now to have both in the lineup.
