The Chicago Cubs look to be active at this year's MLB trade deadline. Here are two possibilities for the club to pursue.
Chicago will likely look to take advantage of a very weak NL Central and a few key additions at the MLB trade deadline could go a long way in helping in that endeavor.
One area that needs to be addressed if Chicago hopes to make some noise in the playoffs is the bullpen. The addition of Hector Neris this past winter helps but a bonafide closer will be needed come the stretch and into October.star Mason Miller may not even be available, despite plenty of rumors swirling around. Even if he is, the asking price would be incredibly high as the A's view him as a potential top-of-the-rotation starter."...
"That said, I would not trade Caissie because I think he’ll develop into that middle-of-the-order impact bat by sometime next year. I’m also a fan of Alcántara even though he’s struggling at Double A to start the year. I would hang on to both. Again, I don’t think the A’s are going to trade Miller because he has a chance to become a No. 1 starter if they develop him working toward that goal.
Foley has found success as well and at 28 years old is four years younger than Finnegan. The righty owns a 2.45 ERA with 10 saves over 18.1 innings pitched in 2024. Like Finnegan, he would be a good fit for the unit. There are plenty of meaningful impact additions Chicago can make to its roster despite all the noise surrounding Mason Miller.Kade Kistner is the publisher and beat writer for Sports Illustrated's Inside the Cubs.
