Cubs Sign All-Star Santana Ahead Postseason Deadline
The Chicago Cubs are actively bolstering their roster for a postseason run, recently adding former All-Star and reigning American League Gold Glove winner Carlos Santana just before the postseason eligibility deadline. Additionally, the Cubs are considering further pitching reinforcements, with suggestions to pursue free agent pitcher Walker Buehler, who was released by the Boston Red Sox and could provide valuable depth as a spot starter or long reliever. Meanwhile, veteran right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull has opted out of his minor league contract with the Cubs after struggling in Triple-A, making him a free agent once again; he needs to sign with a new team before the September 1 deadline to be postseason-eligible. Turnbull's career has included a no-hitter for the Detroit Tigers and a breakout 2024 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, but recent injuries and performance issues have hampered his progress. Also notable is former Dodgers infielder Buddy Kennedy electing free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A, seeking opportunities with other organizations. These moves underscore the Cubs' strategic efforts to strengthen both their offense and pitching staff ahead of the playoffs.
