Part 8/9:
Exploring Offensive Options on the Horizon
While the pitching situation grabs headlines, the Cubs' offense also has a vacancy at third base that could be addressed by potential acquisitions. The less exciting but safe route could lead them to Yan Moncada, a player wrestling with injuries but demonstrating capability as an above-average defender.
On the flip side, Alex Bregman presents an exciting yet controversial option given his past. Bregman's consistent offensive prowess, alongside solid third-base defense, marks him as a highly attractive addition. If the Cubs pursue Bregman, they might look for a short-term, high-value deal aimed at capitalizing on his skill set while ensuring team flexibility moving forward.
