Chicago Cubs Strengthen Roster for 2025

The Chicago Cubs have made significant acquisitions this offseason, notably trading for star outfielder Kyle Tucker, which has boosted their ranking in MLB's Power Rankings from 16th to 13th. The Cubs aim to improve their win total from last season's 83 games, adding depth with veteran catcher Carson Kelly and bolstering their bullpen with Eli Morgan and others. Despite their successes, the team still seeks to enhance its pitching staff, particularly the bullpen, and is pursuing ace Roki Sasaki. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox are undergoing a major rotation overhaul, bringing in veteran pitcher Pérez to lead the staff and aiming for more wins in the upcoming season. Offseason projections for the Cubs are optimistic, with the ZiPS system valuing their lineup highly, while the White Sox hope to improve with young talent and returning players. Both teams are actively reshaping their rosters to compete more effectively in the 2025 season.
