Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs already have landed one superstar by acquiring Kyle Tucker in a blockbuster trade with the Houston Astros. Could another big move be on the way? The Cubs could use at least one more frontline starting pitcher and it sounds like they are at least interested in arguably the best pitcher available on the open market. Rōki Sasaki is a 23-year-old phenom who pitched four seasons for the Chiba Lotte Marines in Nippon Professional Baseball.

The Chicago Cubs have been wheeling and dealing with American League contenders this week. While the trades did not alleviate Chicago's "problem" of having too many talented outfielders, it did leave the Cubs without a proven big-league third baseman.

The 31-year-old right-hander missed all of last season recovering from right elbow surgery. A 2017 All-Star, Fulmer was 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA for the Cubs in 2023.

The Chicago Cubs pulled off one of the more exciting moves of the offseason, and they should now be considered a top 10 offense because of it. Before the Cubs traded for Kyle Tucker, ESPN's Bradford Doolittle did a ranking of the top 10 offenses in MLB. Chicago barely missed the list, but were named a team that could "crash the party." Now that Tucker is in town, the party should be considered crashed.

The MLB free agency period certainly hasn't been short on splashes. Several big names have changed teams this offseason, headlined by the New York Mets luring outfielder Juan Soto from the Bronx to Queens on a record 15-year, $765 million contract. Two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell also made an in-state move, leaving the San Francisco Giants for a five-year, $162 million deal with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Following the departures of Snell and Soto, the Giants and New York Yankees welcomed new stars to town.

After pulling off two of the most aggressive moves of the offseason by acquiring Kyle Tucker and shipping Cody Bellinger out of town, the Chicago Cubs don't seem content with what they've accomplished. Jed Hoyer shared what is next for Chicago, and to no one's surprise, pitching continues to be the area they are targeting. Once rumored to be eyeing another blockbuster trade for Miami Marlins ace Jesus Luzardo, reports are surfacing that won't happen this winter. The Cubs will have to make another move if they're going to bolster this pitching staff, and one player they were reportedly interested in signing was reliever Hoby Milner.

Is this Jed Hoyer’s last chance to build a championship team on his own? It certainly appears as though Hoyer feels that way.

Mike Tauchman will forever be part of City Series lore after hitting a walk-off home run for the Chicago Cubs in the ninth inning against the White Sox on June 5 at Wrigley Field. “I don’t think I’ve had a walk-off at any level so in that way it was special,” Tauchman said during a video conference call on Tuesday. “It would have been special no matter the opponent. “The last two years playing ...
