The Cubs’ offensive struggles were predictable given their roster construction, and while the team is competitive, they still lack that true middle-of-the-order slugger. While the dream of landing Cubs Hit With Brutal Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is intriguing, the reported extension talks with the Blue Jays make it seem unlikely. If Guerrero stays in Toronto, the Cubs should shift their focus to other impact bats, and Kyle Tucker would be an ideal fit if the Astros let him walk.
Even beyond Guerrero or Tucker, the Cubs need to take an aggressive approach next winter. The team has financial flexibility, and ownership can’t afford to claim poverty when the market presents opportunities. Whether it’s via free agency or the trade market, the Cubs must prioritize offensive firepower to truly contend.
