Chicago Cubs Reportedly Making Calls to Trade for Former Cy Young Award-Winning Pitcher<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Chicago Cubs eye a postseason campaign in 2025, they have been monitoring the trade market with uncertainty about what their roster will look like after this season.<\/p>\n

The contracts of multiple key players within the Cubs’ roster will end after this season, leading to many insiders speculating that Chicago is set to make a big move before the trade deadline at the end of July.<\/p>\n

Players like DH Seiya Susuki, RF Kyle Tucker, 2B Nico Hoerner, and SP Jameson Taillon are just a few of the Cubs’ long list of players who are set to take on free agency at the end of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

It’s obvious that the Cubs’ front office isn’t wanting to sign players long-term; therefore, reports believe that Chicago has been taking calls to acquire multiple pitchers from the Miami Marlins. One of those names is 2022 Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, “The Cubs, according to sources briefed on their plans, already are canvassing the market, making inquiries on Miami Marlins right-handers Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, among many others.”<\/p>\n

Alcantara has a contract that pays him $34 million over the next two years with a $21 million club option for a third year, while Edward Cabrera’s contract is a financially smarter move as he’s set to earn $1.95 million this season with three years of arbitration ahead of him.<\/p>\n

It makes sense that the Cubs are making calls to possibly acquire more assets to further their depth.<\/p>\n

With injuries in the starting rotation and several players set to hit free agency after this season, it’s clear the Cubs are in a win-now mindset as they battle in a tight-knit NL Central division.<\/p>\n

Chicago is expected to make a big move before the trade deadline, but for now, the Cubs are focused on extending their 2.5-game lead in the NL Central as they continue a divisional series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
