1/28/25 | Chicago Cubs Could Be Ideal Fit for Surprising Star Pitcher on Trade Block. The Chicago Cubs were expected going into the offseason to add some pitching, both in the bullpen and the starting rotation, and while they have done that, the additions have not been extremely significant. Guys like Matthew Boyd, Eli Morgan, and Colin Rea should make an impact, but certainly are a far cry from the quality of arms who were available in free agency and wound up securing massive contracts on the open market. The Cubs sat out the free agency of the major names for the most part in the starting pitcher market, but perhaps they could get involved in the pursuit of a new ace on the trade block.

1/22/25 | Where Do Chicago Cubs Rank In Major League Baseball Over Last Five Seasons?. The Chicago Cubs and president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer have worked wonders this offseason to better position themselves to contend for a spot in the playoffs in 2025. With the additions of Matthew Boyd and Kyle Tucker, the team has the starting pitching depth to hold opposing offenses in check with ease while their own lineup is now much more capable of putting up four runs or more in any given game. It is a marked improvement from how they have performed over the last five seasons, including playing to the exact same record of 83-79 in the last two, finishing second in the National League Central to the Milwaukee Brewers both times. In those last five years, the Cubs have not stacked up well with the rest of Major League Baseball according to Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report.

12/11/24 | Cubs-Astros blockbuster trade idea sends Kyle Tucker to Chicago in four-player swap. The Chicago Cubs could be in for a busy offseason.

And it's been at the center of trade speculation with a number of veterans potentially on the move, including Cody Bellinger, Nico Hoerner, Jameson Taillon and Seiya Suzuki. But a blockbuster trade idea from Chris Landers of FanSided would see the Cubs flip some of their younger talent for another established bat in a deal with the Houston Astros that brings Kyle Tucker to Chicago. “The Cubs have a bit of an outfield logjam as it is, with Seiya Suzuki, Ian Happ, Cody Bellinger and Pete Crow-Armstrong as established Major Leaguers and prospects like Owen Caissie Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/chicago-cubs/n... |
