The Chicago Cubs have done basically nothing this offseason, which has definitely annoyed fans and the MLB itself. With the expected departure of superstar Kyle Tucker, the Cubs need to make a move.
According to Fansided’s Jake Elman, the fans aren’t the only ones waiting for a move; MLB commissioner Rob Manfred should want the Cubs to do something, as they were awarded an All-Star game in the near future.
“For the Cubs, though, they should be keeping busy throughout the offseason. Rob Manfred awarded the Cubs an upcoming All-Star Game, and the Cubs are one of those teams that tend to always draw attention and eyeballs. Although they no longer have to worry about the pressures of breaking a 108-year title drought, the fact that the Cubs went over a century without a championship will follow them forever. When people mention the Cubs, the Curse of the Billy Goat immediately comes to mind. It doesn’t matter that they broke the streak!” Elman wrote.
Elman continued, predicting the moves, including a reunion, that the Cubs could make to shock everyone and appease the MLB.
“We know how this goes, though. The Cubs are going to shock us all by reuniting with Cody Bellinger, adding a reliable starting pitcher via trade, and announcing a new uniform set for 2026,” Elman concluded.
This past season, Bellinger slashed .272/.334/.480/.813 with 25 doubles, 29 home runs, and 98 RBI in 152 games played. Before his stint with the New York Yankees this past season, he spent two years with the Cubs.
Bellinger will definitely cost significantly less than Tucker and would likely produce the same numbers. If the Cubs are smart, they’ll make a play for Bellinger to get everyone off their backs.
