Don’t believe that Stroman was signed to be flipped. Is it a possibility? Yes so the option is an additional benefit but not primary motivation. See it more as a Jim Hendry signing Soriano move - placates the fans and media but isn’t a final key to being MLB competitive. The 2021 Cubs starting rotation ended the season being one of the worse in the majors. The signing of Stroman and Miley should significantly improve this team.
Cubs are a long way from being competitive against the best in baseball - even with Correa addition - and most likely missed their opportunity to add power pitching to the 2022 roster but at least the front office spent some cash and attempted to improve.
