Cubs Make Major Roster Changes for 2025

The Chicago Cubs are in the midst of a busy offseason, highlighted by their acquisition of outfielder Kyle Tucker and the trade of Cody Bellinger to the New York Yankees. Following these moves, the Cubs are exploring further enhancements to their roster, including a potential trade for pitcher Corbin Burnes, who has a connection with manager Craig Counsell. Chicago's recent roster changes aim to bolster their chances of contending in 2025, as they aim to catch the Milwaukee Brewers, who dominated the National League Central in 2024. The Cubs are also reportedly pursuing veteran backstop options to share duties with their current catcher, Amaya. Additionally, there is speculation about the future of Seiya Suzuki, who has expressed a desire to avoid a full-time designated hitter role. With recent trades and ongoing negotiations, the Cubs are positioning themselves for a competitive season ahead.
