MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cubs surprised many by signing Alex Bregman to a high-dollar deal, signaling a more aggressive approach to free agency than expected.
- The team’s recent moves, including the Edward Cabrera trade and Bregman signing, indicate a commitment to competing in the near term, making a trade of Nico Hoerner potentially detrimental if it weakens the 2026 roster.
- While most Cubs fans oppose trading Hoerner, the decision should ultimately depend on the value of the return and whether it improves the team’s future outlook.
- The Cubs’ improved attendance, playoff experience, and assessment of young talent like Matt Shaw have influenced their willingness to invest more heavily in players like Bregman.
- Each offseason presents
