Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein told Albert Almora he will have "more" of a role next year. (Jesse Rogers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Epstein wouldn't say if that means and everyday role or just literally more playing time than 2017. Either way it's a good thing for the 23-year-old outfielder. In 133 games this season Almora hit .298 with eight homers, and played incredible defense. He'll be a name to monitor in fantasy drafts next spring.
