three moves the Chicago Cubs should make after Kyle Tucker Blockbuster with the Chicago Cubs Landing Kyle Tucker via trade the front office must keep its foot on the gas regarding roster additions they have money to play with and their offseason is likely nowhere near done these are three moves the Cubs need to make to lock down the top spot in the NL Central for 2025 starting with unloading a key contract and Cody Bellinger for more news and rumors check out MLB Insider Robert Murray’s work on the baseball insiders podcast subscribe to the moonshot our weekly MLB newsletter and join the Discord to get the inside scoop during the MLB off season. 3 Force the Yankees hand in Bellinger sweep Stakes it seems like a foregone conclusion that Cody Bellinger will be a New York Yankee after Kyle Tucker passes his physical and there’s no reason to believe the trade will fall through it’s recently been reported by Michael cherami of Bleacher Nation that the two clubs are far apart on Bellinger’s Financial recently reported however the Cubs still have the upper hand in negotiations the Yankees need Bellinger more than the Cubs need to trade him specifically to New York considering the other teams that have shown interest eventually the Yankees front office won’t be able to play hard ball if a deal seems likely to fall through and the Cub should be able to free up a solid chunk of Bellinger’s contract which will be essential to the rest of their offseason plans point two land a starter via trade or free agency moving most of Bellinger’s contract is key because it determines how comfortable Jed Hoyer can operate the rest of the Winter According to roster resource the Cubs are hovering around $215 million after trading for Tucker and signing Carson Kelly with around $8 million that they will keep for trade deadline Acquisitions that gives them about $18 million to spend before dipping into the first tier of the luxury tax penalty if the Cubs are fortunate enough to unload at least 20 million of Bellinger $27.5 million they suddenly balloon back up to $38 million available which is more than enough for a starter and a closer look for the Cubs to exhaust the trade market before shopping in free agency Ken rosenal dropped a tidbit at the athletic subscription required stating he believes the Cubs sending nicoo horer to Seattle is now a long shot after trading Isaac parades which created too many positional holes this made makes sense since the Cubs are now connected to Jesus lazardo P Bru LaVine which would only cost prospects ideally they land a coste effective starter as they will want as much money as possible to resign Tucker next winter one sign Kates the second part of moving Bellinger’s contract will be landing a closer that can slam the door in the ninth last season the Cubs blew 26 saves the sixth worst in the league if the team were closer to at least the top top 10 with only 20 their record would have been 89 to 73 which would be suitable for wild card territory in 2024 Yates had an elite season this year posting a 1.17 ER with 33 saves his best campaign in The Last 5 Years was it a fluke bounceback or is there reason to believe there could be sustained success in 2024 Yates continued to use a heavy dose of fast ball and splitter a combination that has been hit or Miss in the past he’s always seen success with the splitter but his fast ball was one of the best pitches in the league in 2024 dot opponents hit just .13 against it down from. 164 in 2023 and 308 in 20122 although Kirby’s walk rate was higher than you like it dropped from 14.6% in 2023 to 11.8% in 2024 and his Barrel percentage dropped from 11.8% to 4.1% from the year prior that means Kirby had much better command of his heater which coupled with an above average splitter is a lethal combination his fast ball recorded a 35% K rate and a run value of 18 Kirby’s 2024 was otherworldly so it’s no surprise the Cubs have already been linked in the worst case scenario they have money to add another Closer by the deadline if he doesn’t pan out next season
